Personality

f order and man himself adrift like a rudderless boat. The whole failure world has this law of the lack of order somewhere in operation. There are thousands of planless, aimless, purposeless people everywhere. You can ask them "What do you want?" and they tell you that they have a profound idea of what they want to do and believe in their power to accomplish; but when you say "Well how, do you propose to do this?" they answer, "That's just it, I don't know," and often one finds them, after they have aimlessly drifted from pillar to post, and asks then "How did this happen?" "Why didn't you do differently?" they answer again in the same hopeless strain, "I didn't know." The failure world is heaped high with those who "didn't know." They glut the marts of trades and professions, while there are positions calling insistently and constantly to the one who does know, knows that they know, and knows how to express what they know. Have a plan, is the slogan of all success, from the man who breaks rocks to the master builder. The plan is the fulcrum which lifts the formless into form; until one has a plan of life, their world is void. They have to learn to say, "Let there be light" on their own pathway; and the plan is the ray of light which leads them into ultimate perfection. The individual who starts their day without a plan is walking straight towards failure. I have seen women, housewives, begin their day without any plan. I have asked them, "What are you going to do today?" and they have answered, "Oh! I don't know, most anything," and their home has shown their violation of man's first law. It was a living lesson preaching its own sermon beside the home of the little conscious woman who said "Today, I shall do this and that or finish this, or that," who knew every step of her way, pushed all things into shape, and made a home out of the law, order and power of her own consciousness. The first home is a failure home, the woman a failure as a home maker, a failure as a friend, wife, mother or anything she attempts, for a "I don't know" never produced anything but a family of "I don't knows," and "I don't know" is the cornerstone of the home of despair and poverty. There are places on the path where the human mind cannot include all the law of the past, present 10 and future, but there is never a place where a mind worth calling a mind, cannot include control and command the now. You can know what you want, how you want it, and what you are going to
