Advice to My Children No. 4


4- Align your thoughts and activities in such a way that you will be on the same level, or “spiritual high” with those with whom you wish to keep company or associate...now and/or in the eternities...great men and women you look up to and love. Maintain the level of goodness so that their spirits will be attracted to yours and that you will be comfortable in each other's presence. Don't confuse such “goodness” or 'spirituality' with only appearing good so others will admire you. Define, become, and live your “goodness” genuinely. Consistently practice the “Sunday School Answers” of praying often, studying God's word, real service, general kindness, sacrificing some of your present pleasures for later greater good of all, etc. Make this goodness become part of you and you become part of it. Then those who you want most to be with will sense in you the goodness of Christ, and will be drawn to you. This is true for all relationships; friendly, “romantic”, or leader/follower, etc. Make yourself irrefutably 'irresistible'.
