How do you know what your mission is?

Persevere.

Keep up a hopeful spirit.

All have their ups and downs in the material form, and you know it.

It remains for you to work out of the crude conditions.

It is true that you think you have had hard experiences, but there are many who have had more bitter experiences than you.

Do you know what this mission has been imposed on you for?

To develop your own spirit.

God never intended that you should be idle in this life.

You have a mission to fill, and that mission leads to experience.

Natural experiences of life are essential to progress.

You must learn to be independent.

You can only help yourself by becoming independent.

This independence―or self-reliance individualises and develops the spirit.

When you become independent, the power of your spirit will control those who are with you in spirit.

Willpower is a potency only to be cultivated through knowledge.
