Clarity and Consistency
“If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for. For example: A man came to me asking me to speak the word that a certain debt would be wiped out. I found he spent his time planning what he would say to the man when he did not pay his bill, thereby neutralizing my words. He should have seen himself paying the debt.”
–Florence Scovel Shinn (American Artist, Metaphysics Teacher and Author, 1871-1940)
