Attend to a thing at once

The occult student who is in business can put into practice, if he will but realize it, those teachings he receives from his secondary system. Delay regarding a thing we should do at once, and do not do, inflicts the mind and troubles us. Successful business men – and they are philosophers in their own limited range – attend to a thing at once. What the student should learn is: not to fear a thing. The Chinese understand this, and talk a thing over immediately before a misunderstanding can gather headway. The reason for this is that the Secret Enemy can then gain no loop-hole and so bring about a greater disturbance. By such a method the student teaches himself to abolish fear. Chinese Consciousness, The Dayspring of Youth
