Self Help

e the great psychological subjective laws of truth. To be able to always say, do and be the right thing at the right time, demands a high degree of consciousness, but in the measure that we pass up the proofs of such a law there hangs our own personal privileges and opportunities for progress. The names of psychological sins are legion, and each sinner has their own particular form of sinning, and it often demands microscopic spiritual examination to find the spot through which the law is operated. There are many avocations in which one fails again and again and still goes on working through into a bigger possibility; the law of life forgives our transgressions, and as we remit our own sins they are remitted for us, but those who watch race progress, know that the one who persistently is guilty of psychological sins, will never be forgiven, neither in this world, nor in the world to come, for as long as their violation of psychology continues, they will be bound by their own law. Chief among all psychological breaks, a prime factor in the production of failure, is the lack of sense that will tell you when to hold your tongue. Talk has beggared thousands. No matter how carefully it is used, it is bound to come that some day one will talk too much to the wrong person; it is not so much the sin of not minding your own business, as it is the love of talking. There are always many things that the other fellow need not know; it is a violation of all true being to talk about these things. To hold our tongues about our own affairs and the affairs of others especially, this is power. We may tell our secrets to the idle listener if we choose, we only hurt ourselves thereby, but what we think about someone else, and pour out with our own senseless talk is double sinning and seldom one cares to hear it and we become a bore to be avoided. Again, there are those who say, "you can believe that I always say what I think and if I think anything, I am going to say it." Wrong again! No real psychologist ever says just what he thinks unless his finer senses tip him off that that is just the moment for him to say that very thing. There is a time for everything and nothing in all God's universe but our own ignorance ever gave us the commandment to go around "spilling" our says out uninvited. In fact, what one says often cuts no figure with the real truth. Our "think" and "say" are good for us to act by, but they might be entirely incorrect in analysis and the direction
