An idea accepted as true from any source can be every bit as powerful as hypnosis.

Our self image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other.

It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.

As soon as the error has been recognized and corrections made, it's equally important that the error be forgotten and the successful attempt remembered and dwelt upon.

Visualizing, creative mental picturing, is no more difficult than what you do when you remember some scene out of the past, or worry about the future. Acting out new action patterns is no more difficult than deciding, then following through on tying your shoes in a new and different manner each morning, instead of continuing to tie them in your old habitual way, without thought or decision.

Ignore past failures and forge ahead.

Another cause of confusion, and the resulting feelings of nervousness, hurry, and anxiety, is the absurd habit of trying to do many things at one time.
