Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman<br \/>\nphilosopher and sage, said, \u201cA man&#8217;s life is what his thoughts make of<br \/>\nit.\u201d Emerson, America&#8217;s foremost philosopher, said, \u201cA man is what<br \/>\nhe thinks all day long.\u201d The thoughts you habitually entertain in your<br \/>\nmind have the tendency to actualize themselves in physical conditions.<br \/>\nMake certain you do not indulge in negative thoughts, de-featist<br \/>\nthoughts, or unkind, depressing thoughts. Recall fre-quently to your<br \/>\nmind that you can experience nothing outside your own mentality.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 If I had a million dollars, I would be happy<br \/>\nI have visited many men in mental institutions who were<br \/>\nmillionaires, but they insisted they were penniless and destitute. They<br \/>\nwere incarcerated because of psychotic, paranoid, and manicdepressive tendencies. Wealth in and of itself will not make youhappy.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it is not a deterrent to happiness. Today,<br \/>\nthere are many people trying to buy hap-piness through the purchase<br \/>\nof radios, television sets, automo-biles, a home in the country, a<br \/>\nprivate yacht, and a swimming pool, but happiness cannot be<br \/>\npurchased or procured in that way.<\/p>\n<p>The kingdom of happiness is in your thought and feeling. Too many<br \/>\npeople have the idea that it takes something artificial to produce<br \/>\nhappiness.<\/p>\n<p>Some say, \u201cIf I were elected mayor, made president of the<br \/>\norganization, promoted to general manager of the corporation, I would<br \/>\nbe happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that happiness is a mental and spiritual state. None of<br \/>\nthese positions mentioned will necessarily bequeath happiness. Your<br \/>\nstrength, joy, and happiness consist in finding out the law of divine<br \/>\norder and right action lodged in your subconscious mind and by<br \/>\napplying these principles in all phases of your life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The POWER of Your Subconscious<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Mind <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>DR JOSEPH MURPHY<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people choose unhappiness by entertaining these ideas: \u201cToday is a black day;
