A high nor within the reflection of his own face, she had always thought. Homely he's the mere another face without blemish or lines weakness, but bearing a strange resemblance to his own ass, he gazed in amazement The image of the whole man came out of the background plainer and plainer until we realise that it must be that of his other sell his hire possible so which had been waiting for him for years. It was the reflection. superb man. The creator intended him to be the man it was possible for him to become instead of the week, insignificant man. He had always pictured himself to be. The man was so impressed by the vision he saw in the magic mere that it never after left. Him
and he was continually trying to model himself by it. The more he tried to measure up to its standard by strengthening his weak points, correcting his faults and improving his personal appearance in every possible way. The clearer grew his mental picture of that other self of which he had caught a glimpse until it became to him as a living companion. Finally, the image of the perfect man he so constantly held in mind began materialise to take the place of the timid, shrinking, self depreciating man he had hitherto been and within a few years, his whole appearance, his mental maker.

The grander man, the magic mere had revealed to him, not only that, but in those few years he had vans more in his line of work, made a greater success than he had ever dream. He would and even then he said he was just beginning to measure up to his possibility. Is someone told you that to get a look into a magic near one which would reveal view the possible man or woman that you can be? Instead of, week individual. You have consider yourself to be would you not be willing to do everything in your power to obtain such a privilege, perhaps you'd? I know that this is just what a modern spiritual philosophy of life, a new conception of europe, closer connection with the creator will do for you.
It will give you a glimpse of your other larger south, your higher cell, The man or woman you were intended to be, but which perhaps unfavourable conditions race, belief sore hereditary trades have so far kept you from discover it will reveal to you not only the possible man or woman beating beneath the smaller one. You have picture yourself to be, but also the things you can accomplish. It will not reflect the little things you have done so far but the greater things you were intended to do this new philosophy,
He of life is even better than the magic mirror of the legend, for it does not reflect the person who has disappointed you. The person who has not lived up to early promises, the person who has wrecked your ambitions. It does not reflect the weak, inefficient person, the one full of fear, who has no faith in themselves, the individual of small picayune achievement. It is a mental exercise, which enables you to appear in the very depths of your being to see the great within of yourself. With all your own mind, well all your potencies and possibilities easier undeveloped.

Committee, in their lack of faith in themselves, has destroyed their efficiency, their education there physical well being and natural ability are lost.

This week, mental picture of yourself, which you have held in your mind, so long, is the person you will be until you get a larger vision of yourself until you improve europe, Opinion and your mental pattern of yourself until you exchange that inferior pattern for your ideal, your model of what you long to be and what you can and should be. In other words, so long as you, old in mine and effective fear model of yourself. That person will continue to disappoint you. If you want to cry, to get out of the road of inferiority you have made for yourself. You must
