A HOVEL OR A PALACE
by Dr. Robert Anthony

What sort of environment, what sort of surroundings will you be spending your day in today?
Will they be happy and bright surroundings, or will they be dull and rather miserable ones?
Charles Kingsley once was visited by a friend of his who had lived in the Himalayas. He came to Kingsley’s tiny little cottage in a tiny little village and felt very, very sad for poor old Charles Kingsley and told him so and said, “How sad it must be to live in this little cottage in this tiny little out-of-the way place while so much is going on around you out there in the wide, wide world; tiger hunts and all sorts of wonderful things.”
Kingsley turned to him with rather a happy, quiet smile and said, “You know, my friend, it is some years since I first realized that my dwelling place must be my prison or my palace. Thank God I made the right decision and that God has made my place a palace.”
Think about this as you prepare for your day. Are you going to be working around the same house that you work around every day? Are you going to the same office or the same shop that you go to every day? Take another look at it. Open your eyes. Realize that of itself it has no existence. You and you alone have the power to make it what it is.
Have you begun to think of your home as ordinary?
Rethink it today. Think it into a palace. Rejoice and polish and shine it and see it as your palace.
Your office?
Has it become a dull routine and a dowdy office for you?
Take another look. See it, as the palace in which you live your life and let it be worthy of the golden life that you deserve. Your life is yours to make and the environment in which you conduct that life is yours to make. You and you alone decide the nature of that environment. You have probably heard me say before that this is expressed most simply for me in the tiny little rhyme that says:“Two men looked out from prison bars, One saw mud but the other saw stars."
What are you going to see in your home, in your office, in your classroom, in your shop this day?
Why not make it a palace, because only you have the power to make it a hovel or to make it a palace. Use the power of your own mind constructively and you shall live this day in a palace fit for a king or a queen.
