Letting go of covetousness was something I didn't know that I had to do! James Allen talks about how attachment to these possessions and material things causes us so much unhappiness! Learn to detach and be a custodian of the material to help facilitate God's will!

This part of this chapter has been one of the most powerful things I have ever read, and has a profound impact on my daily life! Freeing yourself from Self-Assertion and demanding that people accept and abide by your opinion is no way to live well! Listen and decide for yourself!

A reading about getting rid of our own selfish indulgences! We talk about how these actually distract us from the direction we need to be taking, and that escaping our reality, actually robs us of the ability to find truth! The more we know to more we can let go!

This is an incredible couple of paragraphs about the danger of allowing yourself to be dominated by impatience and irritability! We talk about how it never actually accomplishes anything, and then what we actually want to do to move forward. A great reading about how we push ourselves away from peace and serenity, and to have any chance of obtaining them we have to give up impatience!

This is the first behaviors that James Allen highlights in the this chapter that should be "offered up" and sacrificed to find blessedness is one's life. We go into why we do it, why it is dangerous, why we shouldn't do it, and what we should do instead!

This reading is about why these upcoming sacrifices are essential, and why our spiritual growth lies on the other side of sacrifice, pain, responsibility, and service! Letting go of our old ideas and behaviors is no easy task, but the results after we go through the process are near impossible to describe!

Great start to the chapter and gives us a great foundation of why this work is essential to do a move through!
