A DAILY MESSAGE
BE A " WILLER ” Amo you a “wisher” or a “wanter” or—a “wilier”? Wishing and wanting is not “willing.” To wish and (o want are certainly the passive forms of to will. That’s just the trouble—they are passive. To will is positive and potent. To wish, and to want, arc negative ami impotent—unless what you wish and what you want is made possible ol attainment by what you will. The act of willing is creative, for the “ wilier ” always works, while the wishy-washy-wisher merely wishes. Will and work will always win out, but merely wishing never got a wisher anywhere. The world makes way for tho “ wilier.” lie a Wilier! —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
