Your road to success begins when you take that first step toward spiritual awareness. Become aware that there is a power and spiritual gifts lying hidden in man, by the use of which he can rise to higher and better things.

Spiritual development is necessary to successfully bring your inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with all, to build up character, and to find within yourself that wondrous Self, which is your real self, and which, when found, reveals to you that you are literally and truly sons of God and daughters of the Most High. We belong to him and when you become spiritually aware of this and anchor in this knowledge you will be able to travel your road to success with the faith and assurance that you will rise to higher and better things.

Acts 27:23 Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me

There is no way whereby the discipline of life can be avoided. On your spiritual road to success you will go through storms. There are people, right now, either in a storm, coming out of a storm, or bless your soul, headed for a storm. There is no means by which fate can be "tricked", nor cunning device by which the great cosmic plan can be evaded. Each life must meet its own troubles and difficulties; each soul must pass through its deep waters; every heart must encounter sorrow and grief. But know this, it is not how you come to the storm that matters…what matters is how you come through the storm. None need be overwhelmed in the great conflicts of life, for the one who has discovered the great powers hidden within dwells in an impregnable city, built upon and into the Rock of Truth, against which the storms of life beat in vain.

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

There are no vain promises of an easy life—for if this were possible, it would be the greatest of all disasters. However as you travel your spiritual road to success you will become so strong that life looks almost easy by comparison (the life does not change or become easier, but the individual alters and becomes stronger), and helps you to avoid making your life more difficult than it need be. Most people’s lives would be less filled with trouble and suffering if they took life in the right spirit and believe and trusted in the power and spiritual gifts that lies hidden within.

It is hoped that you may come in harmony with life’s law and purpose and thus avoid much needless suffering: to find the Greater Self within, which discovery brings with it a realization of absolute security: to bring into expression and wisely use their inner spiritual and mental forces and thus enter a life of overcoming and almost boundless power.

Your road to success has now begun.
