A DAILY MESSAGE

STEP UP! I ' The world cannot possibly do its best without you. There may be ten thousand times ten thousand strong, self-reliant, big-heart-ed souls in the world, but there’s one short until you join them. Step up! It’s where you belong. When you stop up into the ranks of the big-hearted you link yourself to the mighty unseen majority, who are surely transforming the world into a better place. They are waiting for you; they want just your push to reach that summit. Now is the moment to “ step up.” You will never have a better chance, because “now” is all you have. You have let “ now ” slip away from you many a time before. Don’t let it go again. It does not matter what position in life you may be in, you can do liettor. —better in your thoughts, better in your work, better.in your home; You can lie a. better friend; you can be a better citizen. You can begin now by discarding what is ugly and ignoble and nurturing what is big and true. Try to repress the destructive thoughts —we all have them. Try to encourage the constructive thoughts: try it in your home; try it in your social circle; try it in your business; there is magic in it. Every one of can do better. What about beginning now? So let us step on. We all can. Stepping up does not depend on money or position, but on the will to be a better I sort of human being. -M. PRESTON STANLEY
