Editor's Note:  The following is an excerpt from The Secret Door to Success by Florence Scovel Shinn.


So Many People Are Trying to Force Situations
Non-resistance is an art. When acquired, The World is Yours! So many people are trying to force situations. Your lasting good will never come through forcing personal will.

"Flee from the things which flee from thee,
 Seek nothing, fortune seeketh thee.
 Behold his shadow on the floor!
 Behold him standing at the door!"


Learn to Relax
I do not know the author of these lines. Lovelock, the celebrated English athlete, was asked how to attain his speed and endurance in running. He replied, "Learn to relax." Let us attain this rest in action. He was most relaxed when running the fastest.


Your Success Will Usually Slide In
Your big opportunity and big success usually slide in, when you least expect it. You have to let go long enough for the great law of attraction to operate. You never saw a worried and anxious magnet. It stands up straight and hasn't a care in the world, because it knows the needles can't help jumping to it. The things we rightly desire come to pass when we have taken the clutch off.


Don't Desire Things Too Intensely
I say in my correspondence course, "Do not let your heart's desire become a heart's disease." You are completely demagnetized when you desire something too intensely. You worry, fear, and agonize. There is an occult law of indifference: "None of these things move me." Your ships come in over a don't care sea.

Erase This False Belief If man loses anything it shows there is a belief of loss in his subconscious mind. As he erases this false belief, the article, or its equivalent will appear on the external. For example: A woman lost a silver pencil in a theater. She made every effort to find it but it was not returned. There Is No Loss In Divine Mind She denied loss, taking the affirmation: "I deny loss, there is no loss in Divine Mind, therefore I cannot lose that pencil. I will receive it or its equivalent." Several weeks elapsed. One day she was with a friend who wore about her neck on a cord, a beautiful gold pencil, who turned to her and said: "Do you want this pencil? I paid fifty dollars for it at Tiffany's." The woman was aghast, and replied (almost forgetting to thank her friend) "Oh! God aren't you wonderful! The silver pencil wasn't good enough ...
