Mary Baker Eddy was one of the most productive and prolific workers of any age. She discovered the Science of divine Mind, how it worked and how to teach it to others. She healed, wrote, taught, formed organizations, magazines, a newspaper, a college, a church, and ran her own large household and affairs for decades, making multiple daily decisions that affected great numbers of people with ease. She wrote, “A great amount of time is consumed in talking nothing, doing nothing, and indecision as to what one should do. If one would be successful in the future, let him make the most of the present.”*

QUICK DECISIONS

It is ours and available at all times.

Our decision to let this Mind be in us as Jesus let it be in him, opens up an infinite availability of goodness.

To act from the standpoint of this Christly Mind, or awareness of our unbreakable relationship to God, is to have untold power for good. The human mind, thinking

We all have an amazing power available to us. It’s the power of decision. When we make a decision with our whole heart, it sets into motion resources and events that could never otherwise be accessed. “Your decisions will master you, whichever direction they take,” writes Mary Baker Eddy. The best decisions lead to positive life-altering possibilities.

She also writes,“To live so as to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual, and the eternal, is to individualize infinite power; and this is Christian Science.” 2 When we decide to do this, we put the infinite power of goodness at our disposal.
