The Secret Door to Success

THE SECRET DOOR TO SUCCESS
"So 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.
