The Game of Life and How to Play It

by Florence Scovel Shinn

"Curses, like chickens, come home to roost."

Man's only enemies are within himself. "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."

Man should bless the past, and forget it, if it keeps him in bondage, and bless the future, knowing it has in store for him endless joys, but live fully in the now.

It is most necessary to begin the day with right words.

Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man's thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.

The more man knows, the more he is responsible for, and a person with a knowledge of Spiritual Law, which he does not practice, suffers greatly, in consequence.

Continually "making-believe," impresses the subconscious. If one makes believe he is rich, and makes believe he is successful, in "due time he will reap."

Man goes through many births and deaths, until he knows the truth which sets him free.

The simple rules are fearless faith, nonresistance and love!
