When we consciously and deliberately develop new and better habits, our self image tends to outgrow the old habits and grow into the new pattern.

People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Prescription: Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Decide what you want out of a situation. Always have something ahead of you to “look forward to” — to work for and hope for.

Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project.

To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.

I am a firm believer in 'negative thinking' when used correctly. We need to be AWARE of negatives so that we can steer clear of them. A golfer needs to know where the bunkers and sand traps are - but he doesn't think continuously about the bunker - where he doesn't want to go. His mind glances at the bunker, but he DWELLS upon the green.

The greatest miracle you can hope for is self-acceptance.

Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.
