The last thought we put in the brain before going to sleep is most likely to last longest. So it is our duty to quietly relax, to slow down--to eliminate fear-thought, self-accusation, and to substitute some good helpful thought in closing the mental book of each day. Therefore read a chapter or two from a worth-while book the last thing before going to bed. Say to yourself, "I am unafraid; I can, I will awake in the morning with smiles on my face, courage in my heart, and song on my lips." These suggestions for closing the day will be of instant help to you. The great power for good, the wherewith to give you strength, progress and efficiency is within yourself and at the command of your will. You can't think faith and fear, good and bad, courage and defeat, all at the same time. You can only think one thing at a time. Your great power is your will, and the wherewith to help yourself is your thought habit. Change your thought habit as you go to bed. You can do it; it's a matter of will determination. The more faithful you are to your purpose, the easier your task will be. Be patient, conscientious rational and confident. You are what your thoughts picture you to be. Your will directs your thoughts. Don't get discouraged if you can't suddenly change your life from shadow to sunshine, from illness to wellness. Big things take time and patience. The great ship lies in the harbor pointed North. A tug boat could make a sudden pull and break the great chain or tow line. Yet you could take a half-inch rope and with your own hands turn the great ship completely around by pulling steadily and patiently. The movement would be slow, but it would be sure and you would finally accomplish your purpose. Don't jerk and fret and be impatient with yourself. You have been for years perhaps worrying and thinking fear-thoughts. You have put a lot of useless and harmful material in your brain. You can't clean all your brain house in a day or a week, but you can do a little cleaning each day. You can take the faith rope of good purpose and start to pull gently, and finally you will turn your whole life's character toward the port of success. If you have read "Pep" and followed its rules, you are now in a state of poise, efficiency and peace, and realize the truths of this chapter, for you learned in detail the rules for your daily conduct, practice, and how to apply suggestions. The great crowd worries; only the few have learned the power of the will, and the benefits to be derived from mental control. Business and social duties call for strong men and women. You can't reach mastership if you remain a slave. Your first duty is to yourself, and success or failure is your reward exactly in proportion as you exercise your will power and handle your thought habits.
