WHAT SHALL I CHOOSE FOR A CAREER?

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

CYRIL GIBBS NORTON

Everyone wants to do the work he enjoys doing, to be given the opportunity to do it, and to be successful in it. He wants to be useful and to know that his work is appreciated. In short, he wants to choose the right career.

Christian Science makes this possible by revealing that God, Mind, has already chosen the place and the course of each of His precious ideas, and that man is the highest idea of God. Man, completely spiritual, is the compound idea of God and includes all right ideas. As such he reflects Mind, its awareness, intelligence, perspicacity, and power. The real man is thus always conscious of his right place and course.

Christian Science shows us how to demonstrate this in our human experience. It reveals that man is related to God as idea or reflection. It shows us that God is Love, Life itself. It teaches us that our occupation is to love and to live in obedience to God's law, and that our only satisfaction or success lies in expressing God. Christian Science shows us how to claim our present spiritual perfection as a son of God and to make practical the assurance of the Psalmist (Ps. 18: 30, 32): "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. ... It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect."
