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.

All conceptions are limitations of the conceiver.

If one imagines unlovely things for another, they are going to produce them - not in the other, but in themselves.

Become aware of what you are thinking and you will recognize a law between your mood and your surrounding circumstances.

Command any idea to clothe itself in form.

Listen closely to your invisible thoughts. What do you hear? What are your words implying? That is their potency. What do you want? Name it and rearrange the structure of your mind to imply you no longer desire it, because you already have it!

Only as one is willing to give up his present limitations and identity can he become that which he desires to be.
