YOU SET THE CLOCK
There is nothing in the universe that you cannot do or be if you are mentally ready. People speak of golden opportunities but what we call opportunity is really our own mental readiness. Napoleon said, “Opportunities? I make opportunities”; and while this would be merely a vainglorious boast for one who is not on the spiritual basis, yet when you do understand the Truth of Being, it is simply a statement of fact. The Romans could have had the telephone; the Greeks could have had the cinemas; the Babylonians could have had the automobile—had they been mentally ready. The laws of nature were the same in those ages as in ours, the same materials were in the ground—so they had to go without them.
Supply the necessary mental condition, and the demand, the opportunity, or the occasion, will present itself automatically.
Whenever you are ready you will find that everything else is ready too.
Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is (Mark 13:33).
