The Secret Door to Success
04.jpgSo the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
—Joshua 6:20.
A successful man is always asked—What is the secret of your success?
People never ask a man who is a failure, What is the secret of your failure?
It is quite easy to see and they are not interested.
People all want to know how to open the secret door of success.
For each man there is success, but it seems to be behind a door or wall. In the Bible reading, we have heard the wonderful story of the falling of the walls of Jericho.
Of course all biblical stories have a metaphysical interpretation.
We will talk now about your wall of Jericho: the wall separating you from success. Nearly everyone has built a wall around his own Jericho.
This city you are not able to enter, contains great treasures; your divinely designed success, your heart’s desire!
What kind of wall have you built around your Jericho? Often, it is a wall of resentment – resenting someone, or resenting a situation, shuts off your good.
If you are a failure and resent the success of someone else, you are keeping away your own success.
I have given the following statement to neutralize envy and resentment.
What God has done for others, He now does for me and more.
A woman was filled with envy because a friend had received a gift, she made this statement, and an exact duplicate of the gift was given her – plus another present.
It was when the children of Israel shouted, that the walls of Jericho fell down. When you make an affirmation of Truth, your wall of Jericho totters.
I gave the following statement to a woman: The walls of lack and delay now crumble away, and I enter my Promised Land, under grace. She had a vivid picture of stepping over a fallen wall, and received the demonstration of her good, almost immediately.
It is the word of realization which brings about a change in your affairs; for words and thoughts are a form of radio-activity.
Taking an interest in your work, enjoying what you are doing opens the secret door to success.
A number of years ago I went to California to speak at the different centers, by way of the Panama Canal, and on the boat I met a man named Jim Tully.
For years he had been a tramp. He called himself The King of the Hoboes. He was ambitious and picked up an education.
He had a vivid imagination and commenced writing stories about his experiences.
He dramatized tramp life, he enjoyed what he was doing, and became a very successful author. I remember one book called Outside Looking In.
It was made into a motion picture.
He is now famous and prosperous and lives in Hollywood. What opened the secret door to success for Jim Tully?
Dramatizing his life – being interested in what he was doing, he made the most of being a tramp. On the boat, we all sat at the captain’s table, which gave us a chance to talk.
Mrs. Grace Stone was also a passenger on the boat; she had written the Bitter Tea of General Yen,
and was going to Hollywood to have it made into a moving-picture: she had lived in China and was inspired to write the book.
That is the Secret of Success, to make what you are doing interesting to other people. Be interested yourself, and others will find you interesting.
A good disposition, a smile, often opens the secret door; the Chinese say, "A man without a
