You can take charge of your life

No one need think of himself as dependent on others for happiness, supply, and well-being. For Christ Jesus revealed the precise whereabouts of all good—"The kingdom of God is within you."Luke 17:21; And Christian Science explains exactly how to find this kingdom and put off dependency. It brings to light God's man and his God-given dominion, completeness, and freedom—the spiritual basis of well-being. Mrs. Eddy writes of this man that you and I actually are: "His birthright is dominion, not subjection. He is lord of the belief in earth and heaven,—himself subordinate alone to his Maker."Science and Health, p. 518;

Some people, convinced they just don't have what it takes, look to others to supply the good they think is missing in their lives.
