I am still reading "the Power" but found something else that was recommended to read. Its called " Just be Glad" by Christian D Larson. It was written in 1912 but still holds true now. Its about 13 pages long. I was on my train ride home reading it. It takes about 45 minutes for me to get home, it took me 15 to read this little book. But it left me with a little more knowledge than I had when I first opened it up.
"Just be glad" - how simple those words sound how hard sometimes it is to just be. It says the greatest good is happiness yes this is true people joke that when we die we go to heaven but while we are on earth that is our hell.... no that is not true in my eyes and after reading this I still hold that belief. Heaven is here and now. This world that hold such beauty and it is ours to explore. If we chose to do so than our happiness is limitless.
" Just be glad and you always will be glad" - I am going to run my own experiment if you would call it that. I am going to take all I have read and follow it as a instruction manual on how to be glad.
