1. The Come-Back
Why not have what you want? Have you settled down with a notion that you can't get it?
Are you accepting a disappointment as something you must suffer?
Do you look at the thing that you really desire as being far beyond your reach?
Do you carry around with you a heartache because you think your heart's desire is finally and forever denied you?
Do you look on yourself as being down and out, with no chance to get back?
Do you think you are too poor to buy the things you like or even the things you need?
Have you done something that you think has brought a penalty on you--sickness, poverty, loss of freedom, grief?
Well, before you give it all up as hopeless won't you just read along a little way in this discussion to see if your case is as bad as you think it is? I am not writing to sell you anything or to teach you anything or to persuade you of anything, but just to share with you the ideas that changed the life of a man
who used to think as you do and who thought he had good reason to think so, but who has found out that he was mistaken and that life is not hopeless at all; and who believes that what helped him may help somebody else who is under a cloud similar to the one that he once lived under. Many things you want most are now within your reach.
