Worry is spiritual near-sightedness; a fumbling way of looking at little things, and of magnifying their value.

Author by: Anna Roberston Brown Language: en Publisher by: CreateSpace Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 86 Total Download: 831 File Size: 48,6 Mb Description: A review from 'Immortality - A Series of 35 Chapters ': 'Not since Drummond's 'Greatest Thing in the World' has there been published anything in the same vein, so beautiful and inspiring as Dr. Brown's crystal clear exposition of things worth while in life.' . An excerpt from the beginning: WHAT IS WORTH WHILE? Only one life to live! We all want to do our best with it.
We all want to make the most of it. How can we best get hold of it? How can we accomplish the most with the energies and powers at our command? What is worth while?
We all ask ourselves this question when we leave our college halls. But the first years out of college are apt to be anxious, unsatisfactory, disappointing. Time slips away in further preparation, in experiment, in useless or misdirected efforts. The world does not prove to be the same that it seemed to be in the quiet college surroundings. Duty is not so clear as then, nor work so well-defined.
Life is harder to handle than we thought. One finds that theories fail, and yet one has not had positive experience enough to know just where the difficulty lies. It is of a few simple things that 'my own life has proved true' that I shall speak to-day. Life is large. We cannot possibly grasp the whole of it in the few years that we have to live. What is vital? What is essential?
What may we profitably let go? Let us ask ourselves these questions to-day. To begin with, What may we let go?
Who shall say? By what standard shall we measure? By what authority decide? Each of us must answer that question for herself. In looking about for an answer, I find only one that satisfies me. It is this: We may let go all things which we cannot carry into the eternal life.
To me this is a deep truth, and a positive one. Surely it is not worth while for us to cumber our lives with the things which we can grasp at best for but a little time, when we may lay hold of things that shall be ours for ten thousand times ten thousand years. We may drop pretense. Eternity is not good for shams. In its clear light the false selves that we have wrought about us like a garment will shrivel and fall away. Whatever we really are, that let us be, in all fearlessness.
What Is Worthwhile Anna Robertson Brown Pdf
Whatever we are not, that let us cease striving to seem to be. If we can rid ourselves of all untruth of word, manner, mode of life and thinking, we shall rid our lives of much rubbish, restlessness, and fear. Let us hide nothing, and we shall not be afraid of being found out. Let us put on nothing, and we shall never cringe. Let us assume nothing, and we shall not be mortified. Let us do and say nothing untrue, and we shall not fear to have the deepest springs of our lives sought out, nor our most secret motive analyzed. Nothing gives such upright dignity of mien as the consciousness, 'I am what I pretend to be.

All through my early life I read inspirational books and liked them best of all. They seemed to beckon me on. I could feel myself being pulled along by an unseen hand. Let there be no mistake about Making Life Worth While. It has no particular plan or sequence whereby to back up its title.
