Your value and charm for others, as a companion, depends far more on what you think, than on what you say.

 

If your thought is all pure, clean, bright, confident, and courageous, you are a value, and an increasing value, wherever you go. People will always be glad to see you. When you bring yourself (your thought), you bring an actual pleasure to people.

 

You bring also power and strength to them. Your thought helps to strengthen their bodies. they feel better for seeing you. You are as a fountain of health and pleasure wherever you go. You can disarm the sourest temper, and the person most opposed to you.

 

When you can say in your mind, "I refuse to look upon any person as my enemy," you will have no enemies. When we talk of "having enemies", and keep on, in thought, looking on certain people as enemies, we are making them enemies, because such people feel that order of thought coming from us.

 

It is an element flowing from you to them. It effects them disagreeably. If you are ever sending out the thought, "I am not your enemy. I do not wish to feel disagreeably towards you. I want to like you better than I do," they will soon feel this thought. They cannot resist its power. The thought of good is always stronger than that of evil.  This is a law of nature.

 

The corner-stone in the power and charm of a person's thought is this, expressed in words, "I want to help you in whatever way I can. I want to help to build you up. I want to help you to better health, to better business, to the place where you really belong, to the position where your talents may most shine."

 

If this thought is sincere, it carries immense power. It will always be drawing more power to you, because every additional person's good-will you so draw and fasten to you is an additional unseen rill of life feeding yours. It is a rill of substance,  -though unseen-, as real as the elements we do see.

 

Good-will of others is constructive thought. It helps build you up. It is good for your body. It makes your blood purer, your muscles stronger, and your whole form more symmetrical in shape. It is the real "elixir of life". The more of such thought you attract to you, the more life you will have.
