Aim to adjust the two, and to strive to be on the outside what you idealize on the inside. Your thoughts make you; and your ideals, principles, or ruling desires will determine your destiny.
Learn to use your powers unless you wish to be used by them. Make a daily effort to use the knowledge you have gained. Try to improve upon all your opinions. Endeavour to obtain a truer and larger conception of each of your personal views.
This process entails effort, but all such mental discipline is highly constructive. It leads to a steady increase of mind-power, and it is the mind that matters most among life’s actualities. You may occasionally blunder. We are all inclined to do this, more so inthe earlier stages of our mental development. However, we learn by our mistakes.
Then by the constant use of our intelligence we cause our faculties to grow so strong and alert that in time, we are able to avoid further errors.
Man’s problems are mental in nature; they have no existence outside of
themselves, and it has been discovered that nearly all will yield up their solutions whensubjected to a broad and exact analysis.
You can acquire this ability by studying the Law of life and its modes of
expression. Then by constant effort use your thinking faculty in constructive ways asyou work with these Laws. Have good and sound reasons for all the views you hold.As you try to find these, many of your old-time views will fall to pieces. Form clear and definite ideas regarding your convictions as to why you do as you do, and as to why you think as you think. Such practice is like conducting a mental house cleaning.
