From the Spiritual Diary, September 9, Effort: You should increase the strength of your body and then increase the strength of your mind. The best way to increase mental power is to try to accomplish something worthwhile every day. Choose some worthy task or project that you have been told you could not do, and try to do it. Each day strive to accomplish something that you have always thought you could not accomplish. - Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons
