A part of that Will we inherit as our own divine heritage, and it is our consciousness of it which makes it greater. If we are not conscious of it, it becomes smaller. It is the optimistic attitude towards life which develops the will; the pessimistic attitude reduces it, robs it of its great power. Therefore, if there is anything that hinders our progress in life it is our own selves. It is proved a thousand times over that there is no one in the world who can be a worse enemy to us than ourselves, for at every failure we see ourselves standing in our own light.
