Don't Borrow
Trouble Hustle!
"Never trouble trouble, till trouble
troubles you," and if you owe any money
goto bed and sleep. "Let the other
fellow walk the floor" you need the
rest to enable you to work and earn it to
pay him back, and that is good, sound
advice, says the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for July.
If you worry yourself to death over
the everyday annoyances of life, you
will deserve all the suffering it creates,
such as sickness, poverty, disappoint
ment and loss of good looks, and can
only boast of warped disposition.
All these conditions keep off the good
things that might be yours for the taking.
In this great plan of creation it is
certain that every man has a place; and
if we are not in it and fulfilling the
obligations it requires, no matter how
hard, whose fault is it? We surely can
not blame that fact upon the Creator,
for humanity should be constantly
begging His pardon for misunderstand
ing Him so frequently as it does.
No, it is lack of mental activity and a
desire to dodge our moral responsibilities;
NO. 4
we should put our finger on our lips and
remember that once we were given
dominion over the things of this earth,
ourselves to be only a little lower than
the angels. What has become of the
gift? It was given for all time.
If we expect a good living to drop in
to our lap like a ripe plum, as it were,
without troubling ourselves to earn it,
needless to say we will get a shock, and
it will take all the spunk we can scare
up to cushion it so that it does not bowl
us over.
So let us sing blithely, let us smile
cheerfully, let us dress our best and
hustle!
