The world
is good, and growing better. Existing discords and
inharmoniousness are but the pitching of the ship incidental to
our own imperfect steering; they will all be removed in due
time. This view gives us an increasing outlook and an expanding
mind; it enables us to think largely of society and of
ourselves, and to do things in a great way.
Furthermore,
we see that nothing can be wrong with such a world or with any
part of it, including our own affairs. If it is all moving on
toward completion, then it is not going wrong; and as our own
personal affairs are a part of the whole, they are not going
wrong. You and all that you are concerned with are moving on
toward completeness. Nothing can check this forward movement
but yourself; and you can only check it by assuming a mental
attitude that is at cross-purposes with the mind of God. You
have nothing to keep right but yourself; if you keep yourself
right, nothing can possibly go wrong with you, and you can have
nothing to fear. No business or other disaster can come upon
you if your personal attitude is right, for you are a part of
that which is increasing and advancing, and you must increase
and advance with it.
