Rarely have we seen a person fail
who has thoroughly followed our path.
Those who do not recover are people
who cannot or will not completely give themselves
to this simple program,
usually men and women who are constitutionally
incapable of being honest with themselves.
There are such unfortunates.
They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way.
They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing
a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty.
Their chances are less than average.
There are those, too, who suffer
from grave emotional and mental disorders,
but many of them do recover
if they have the capacity to be honest.

Thought to Ponder....

To reveal myself honestly and openly
takes the rarest kind of courage.
