Christian Lawson wrote a book called ,
'Your forces and how to use them". “Promise yourself to be so strong that
nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything
& and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for
the best. Forget the mistakes of the past & press on the greater
achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole
world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is in you.”
He was a African American pastor and he
believed that you had to have a positive view of yourself and everything that
you did in life had to come from a positive perspective. You had to change your
mind sent to one of total positivity to be successful. he believed that you had
a certain power that came from being self confident. even if you are at the
bottom and down on your luck, you have to tell yourself, that you will be
successful and that you will make it to the top.
if you were to accept all the negative
talk that others may say about you and if you believed it , then all would be
lost.
He strongly believed that 300 years ago
when the black slaves were brought to this country that they were brought up
with the concept that they were slaves and not as good as anyone else. Their
own self view, which they were taught
held them back. When the black community knows and believes that they
can be anything they want and can achieve anything they want then they will
have a power be successful. He wanted to
go into the poor neighborhoods and build self esteem. people from the ghetto
had to stop believing the lies that they were not as good as those from the
rich community. that they could succeed in school and in business.
