And so we went on and on, knowing that if we advanced three steps and slipped back two, we were still one step ahead. We had confidence, because we _knew_ that "things would come our way" in the end. And so long as we held this attitude, we _did_ succeed, and it was only when we lost heart at some unexpected slip--only when, after having attained success, we became dazed and frightened, and began to fear that our "luck might turn" and that we would lose all of our accumulations--it was only _then_, I say--that our star waned. Talk with any successful man, and, if truthful, he will admit having felt, from the time of his first success, that he had some sort of "pull" with Fate--some "lucky star"--some special Providence operating in his behalf. He grew to _expect_ results--to have confidence in things turning out right--to have faith in _something_ of which he knew not the nature--and he was not disappointed. Things seemed to work in his favor--not always just in the way he expected, sometimes in an entirely different way--matters seemed somehow to straighten themselves out in the end--so long as he kept his "nerve." He did not know the source of his strength, but he believed in it and trusted it just the same. Let us wake up and recognize this Something Within--let us begin to understand this "I Can and I Will" feeling--let us cherish it if we have it, and cultivate it if we have it not. Do you know that we are young giants who have not discovered our own strength? Are you not aware that there are powers latent within us, pressing forth for development and unfoldment? Do you not know that earnest desire, faith and calm demand will bring to us that which we require--will place at our hand the tools with which we are to work out our destiny--will guide us in the proper use of the tools--will make us grow? Do you not know that Desire, Faith and Work is the triple key to the doors of Attainment? There are possibilities before us, awaiting our coming, of which we have never dreamed. Let us assert ourselves--take up the key--unlock the doors--and enter our kingdom. To accomplish, we must be possessed of earnest desire--must be as confident of ultimate success as we are of the rising of to-morrow's sun--we must have Faith. And we must work out the end with the tools and instruments that will present themselves day by day. We will find that Desire, Confidence, Faith and Work will not only brush aside the obstacles from our path, but will also begin to assert that wonderful force, as yet so little understood--the Law of Attraction--which will draw to us that which is conducive to our success, be it ideas, people, things, yes, even _circumstances_. Oh, ye of little Faith, why do you not see these things?
