Grow where you are planted
If you wish to reach a distant shore.
God helps those who help themselves
And holds for them an open door.
Doors are made to walk through,
And love, not fear, supplies the key.
The first step is the hard one,
The next is made more easily.
Your thoughts become experience—
Take form as your reality.
“Stand porter at the door of thought”*
To see more of what you still can be.
Seize then this timeless instant:
Forget the future and the past,
Focus on the boundless now.
Eternity alone will last.
Keep your vision cloudless,
Expecting God in every scene,
And this eternal moment
Will compass more than you can dream.
*Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 392
