All transformation begins with an intense, burning desire to be transformed. The first step in the 'renewing of the mind' is desire. You must want to be different [and intend to be] before you can begin to change yourself. Then you must make your future dream a present fact. You do this by assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled. By desiring to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person. If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable.

Your reactions, whether positive or negative, are creative of future circumstances. In your imagination, you can hear words congratulating you on getting a wonderful new job. That imaginal act now goes forward and you will encounter this pleasant experience in the future.

You believe in God? Believe also in your imagination.

Man moves in a world that is nothing more or less than his consciousness objectified.–Neville Goddard

You are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it.

The ideal we serve and strive to attain could never be evolved from us were it not potentially involved in our nature.

Man's responsibility, then, is to choose his destination; the motive power to bring him there is furnished by the Infinite.
