Daily meditation, Jan 27th: James Allen

A sweet and happy soul is the ripened fruit of experience and wisdom,.

JANUARY TWENTY - SEVENTH

THERE is an infinite patience in nature which it is profitable to contemplate.

A comet may take a thousand years to complete its orbit; the sea may occupy ten thousand years in wearing away the land; the complete evolution of the human race may occupy millions of years. This should make us ashamed of our hurry, fussiness, discontent, disappointments, and ridiculous self-importance over trifling things of an hour or a day. Patience is conducive to the highest greatness, the most far-reaching usefulness, and the profoundest peace. Without it, life will lose much of its power and influence, and its joy win be largely destroyed.

"So with well-ordered strenuousness Raise thou thy structure of Success."

He who fills with useful pursuits the minutes as they come and go grows old in honour and wisdom, and prosperity abides with him.
