Be good to yourself。 Treat yourself to the very best life 
has to offer。 Remember; quality is not expensive; it's priceless! 


Let Go and Let God 

 

〃Something wonderful is happening。〃 
… John Kanary 
The Personal Coach 

How many times have you been faced with what 
appeared to be an insurmountable problem and you silently 
wished you could 〃turn it over〃 to somebody else for a 
solution。 Or have you ever sat day dreaming…building 
magnificent images on the screen of your mind…wishing you 
had a certain sum of money; wanting to take a trip to some 
exotic place; or possibly hoping to be able to purchase the 
automobile you have always wanted? Wouldn't it be fantastic if 
there was some 〃magic formula〃 that would give us the things 
we want and permit us to live the way we choose? Well there 
is; and it has been around since time began。 Therefore; you 
can have the things you want…all of them…and you will have 
them if you will only make the ideas in this book a part of your 
way of thinking; a part of your way of life。 

Make up your mind to read this chapter over and over…
100 times if necessary … until you feel deep inside that you 
really comprehend the idea being expressed。 For if you fail to 
grasp the idea presented to you in this chapter; the rest of the 
book will be of little value to you。 However; once you do 
understand this chapter; it will be as if a tremendous light has 
gone on in your mind…truly illuminating your life…and you will 
realize you will never again be the same person you once were。 
No person; thing; or circumstance will intimidate you ever 
again。 Your days of idle…wishing will be brought to a halt。 
Happiness; health and prosperity will follow you all the days of 
your life and you will spend the rest of your years wanting to 
share your new understanding with everyone and anyone who 
is willing to take the time to listen and learn。 

Be aware; however; that many of the people whom you 
try to share your new awareness with are simply not ready for 


it。 In fact; nine out of ten people will laugh and tell others you 
are odd; when you have shared your formula…Let Go And Let 
God…with them。 You must realize this is because the vast 
majority of people whom you encounter every day; treat God 
like some cosmic bellboy; who is supposed to run and fetch 
and then deliver。 These individuals erroneously believe that 
merely because a person verbalizes certain thoughts in their 
mind…〃God please get me this;〃 or 〃God give me that;〃… they 
will receive what they have asked for。 But unfortunately; these 
people do not understand the true nature of prayer and what 
is even more tragic…they don't even know; that they don't 
know! 

Potential Is Everywhere Always 

Understand this … everything you see in this universe; 
yourself included; is nothing but the expression of an infinite 
power。 This power is forever flowing into and through you。 
Scientists will tell you that everything is energy。 I choose to 
say that everything is Spirit。 Let Go And Let God。 

For centuries there has been a select group of people who 
are the real thinkers。 These individuals have always known 
there is a power which permeates; penetrates and fills the 
interspaces of the cosmos; and that everything you see around 
you is an expression of that power。 The power operates in a 
very precise manner; which is generally called law。 In other 
words; everything comes from one source; and that source 
power always flows and works to and through the individual…
that is you。 Stated slightly differently; the image that you have 
formed can only come to you on the physical plane of life (your 
results) in one way; and that way is By Law and through 
Faith。 

The Mormon religion has a scripture in its Doctrine and 
Covenants which demonstrates this point extremely well; and 
although I am not a Mormon myself; I have grown to love these 
lines: 


〃There is a law; irrevocably decreed in heaven 
before the foundations of this world upon which all 
blessings are predicated。 

And when we obtain any blessing from God; it 
is by obedience to that law upon which it is 
predicated。〃 

… D & C 130:20…21 

The more you study this scripture; the more you will 
appreciate just how perfect it is。 The more you understand its 
truth; the easier it will be for you to improve the quality of 
your life。 

Clarence Smithison's Story 

A number of years ago; when I was working in Chicago; 
Illinois; I became close friends with a man by the name of 
Clarence Smithison。 Since Clarence is not a celebrity; by any 
means; I am sure you have never heard his name before。 In 
fact; he is such a modest; self…effacing person; that if he were 
to walk into a room crowded with people; you would probably 
not even notice him。 Nevertheless; there is a certain 
indefinable spark in Clarence Smithison which makes him one 
of the most remarkable individuals I have ever had the 
pleasure to know。 In an attempt to identify this elusive quality; 
I have come up with the following hypothesis: Clarence 
Smithison incorporates; within his very being; the principle 
upon which this entire chapter is based…namely; if a person 
will let go and let God (i。e。 have faith that whatever must 
happen for him to achieve his goal; will indeed occur); all 
things become possible。 

One day I confronted Clarence and asked him to share 
with me his view of faith and more specifically; his explanation 
of why he personally seemed to possess such a cornucopia of 
this important attribute。 True to his nature; he explained to 
me he had not developed a complicated philosophy with 
respect to the subject。 He said everything he believed about 


Faith could be summarized in a simple definition; and it was 
this definition which gave him the strength he needed to 
endure the trials and tribulations in his own life。 〃Faith;〃 he 
said; 〃is the ability to see the invisible and believe in the 
incredible and that is what enables believers to receive what 
the masses think is impossible。〃 I have fallen in love with this 
particular definition and have shared it with countless 
numbers of people; since Clarence first shared it with me。 

Using a slightly different vocabulary; I would make the 
observation: 〃If you can show me a person who achieves great 
things; I can show you a person who has great faith in his 
God…given ability to achieve what he images。〃 In fact; there is 
absolutely no question in my mind that faith has always been 
the miracle worker throughout history。 It is the connecting 
link between God and You; and therefore; it is your most 
valuable nonphysical possession。 In truth; it is the 
cornerstone to everything you will ever build or achieve during 
the course of your entire lifetime。 

Comparatively few people today realize just how much 
faith in oneself (that part of oneself which is spiritual; perfect) 
has to do with achievement; because the great majority of 
people never seem to conceive of faith as being a genuine 
creative force。 Yet the truth is that not only is Faith a bona 
fide power; but it is the greatest one we will ever encounter。 In 
fact; I would go so far as to say that whatever you accomplish 
in your lifetime; will be in direct proportion to the: 

1。 intensity; and 
2。 persistence of your faith。 


David And Goliath 

Consider; for example; the biblical story of David and 
Goliath; which surely must rank as one of the greatest 
testaments ever written on the subject of faith。 As you will 
recall; Goliath; the giant of Gath; came into the Israelite camp 
boasting pompously and taunting the Israelites to select a 
man to do battle with him。 The Israelites; naturally; were 


terrified and; not surprisingly; none of them leaped forward to 
accept the challenge。 

Sometime later; however; when Goliath returned to 
reiterate his challenge; David; an Israelite youth; overheard 
the giant's obnoxious boasting and he stepped forward to pick 
up the gauntlet。 Finally; after much pleading before his elders 
for the dubious honor of facing Goliath in battle; the youth 
was accorded the great 〃privilege〃 of going forth to do battle。 
The elders insisted; however; that David clothe himself in 
heavy protective armor。 They also gave him a sword with 
which to smite his powerful adversary。 But David said; 〃I am 
not used to these things; I cannot fight with these handicaps。 
These are not my weapons。 I have other weapons with which 
to fight the giant。〃 So he stripped himself of all his armor; and 
went into battle with no weapon other than a simple slingshot 
and a few pebbles which he had gathered from the nearby 
brook。 

When the giant leader of the Philistines; protected as he 
was with armor from head to toe; armed with mighty weapons 
and preceded by his shield…bearer; saw the unarmed; 
unprotected Israelite youth approac
