Reinforce Yourself

REINFORCE YOURSELF. The great secret of success lies in one's ability to reinforce himself. We should be constantly on the watch for ways and means of supplementing ourselves, of increasing, in every way possible, our power of usefulness and worthy achievement. For example, every time we depart from truth, even in the slightest degree, every time we attempt to take advantage of another, to overreach by "smartness" or long-headedness, we deplete our moral strength, our power to do noble work. There is a deadly .reaction on every ignoble deed; it is a boomerang which ultimately kills the thrower. Most of us are constantly d'oing things which, though not actually wrong, tend to weaken, rather than to reinforce or strengthen us. Our great study should be, not to allow our ener- gies to run to waste through negative or harmful actions, but to reinforce ourselves continually by positive activity in the right direction. Success.
