Daily meditation, Feb. 28th: James Allen

Let a man learn to stand alone.

FEBRUARY TWENTY-EIGHTH

IF a man can find no peace within himself, where shall he find it? If he dreads to be alone with himself, what steadfastness shall he find in company? If he can find no joy in communion with his own thoughts, how shall he Escape misery in his contact with others ? The man who has yet found nothing within himself upon which to stand will nowhere find a place of constant rest. Without is change, and decay, and insecurity; within is all surety and blessedness. The soul is sufficient of itself. Where the need is, there is the abundant supply. Your eternal dwelling-place is within.

Be rich in yourself, be complete in yourself.
