Self-improvement is the name of the game, and your primary objective is to strengthen yourself, not to destroy an opponent.

Your automatic creative mechanism is teleological. That is, it operates in terms of goals and end results. Once you give it a definite goal to achieve, you can depend upon its automatic guidance system to take you to that goal much better than "you" ever could by conscious thought. "You" supply the goal by thinking in terms of end results. Your automatic mechanism then supplies the means whereby.

Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.

Change your mental imagery, and the feelings will take care of themselves.

Forgiveness is a scalpel that removes emotional scars.

It was as if personality itself had a 'face'. This non-physical face of personality seemed to be the real key to personality change. It remained scarred, distorted, 'ugly' or inferior the person himself acted out this role in his behaviour regardless of the changes in physical appearance. If this 'face of personality' could be reconstructed, if old emotional scars could be removed, then the person himself changed, even without facial plastic surgery.

Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a ‘real’ experience.
