A Chief Cause Of Unhappiness Is What I Call Mental Movies. Mental Movies Are A Misuse Of The Imagination. You Know How It Goes. You Have A Painful Experience With Someone, Then Run It Over And Over In Your Mind. You Visualize What You Said, What He Did, How You Both Felt. As Awful As It Is, You Feel Compelled To Repeat The Film Day And Night. It Is As If You Were Locked Inside A Theatre Playing A Horrible Movie.

Do Not Be Impatient With Your Seemingly Slow Progress. Do Not Try To Run Faster Than You Presently Can. If You Are Studying, Reflecting And Trying, You Are Making Progress Whether You Are Aware Of It Or Not. A Traveler Walking The Road In The Darkness Of Night Is Still Going Forward. Someday, Some Way, Everything Will Break Open, Like The Natural Unfolding Of A Rosebud.

There Exists A Special Self Which Takes Every Event As If It Were The Very Thing You Wanted To Happen. That Self Is The Supermind, Which Is Never Upset By Anything. Your Goal Is To Nourish It Into Greater Strength. Then, Every Step Is Sunlit.
