How do you ensure your future against evil happenings?

Always remember that cheerful thought is what renews your poise. Never brood over disaster. Forget it as rapidly as possible and begin to make prosperous pictures of your future. Always picture the future—whether tomorrow, next year or after death—as happy—as full of pleasant possibilities and happy incidents. You thus ensure your future against evil happenings.
