The Divine Design, The Perfect Plan for Your Life
The following excerpts are from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Any emphasis is original.
The perfect plan includes health, wealth, love and perfect self-expression. This is the square of life, which brings perfect happiness. When one has made this demand, he may find great changes taking place in his life, for nearly every man has wandered far from the Divine Design….
Perfect self-expression will never be labor; but of such absorbing interest that it will seem almost like play. The student knows, also, as man comes into the world financed by God, the supply needed for his perfect self-expression will be at hand.
Many a genius has struggled for years with the problem of supply, when his spoken word, and faith, would have released quickly, the necessary funds.
Demand definite leads, and the way will be made easy and successful.
One should not visualize or force a mental picture. When he demands the Divine Design to come into his conscious mind, he will receive flashes of inspiration, and begin to see himself making some great accomplishment. This is the picture, or idea, he must hold without wavering.
The thing man seeks is seeking him—the telephone was seeking Bell!
Parents should never force careers and professions upon their children. With a knowledge of spiritual Truth, the Divine Plan could be spoken for, early in childhood, or prenatally. (p. 76-77)
