PRACTICE EXERCISE NO. 1 Get a New Mental Picture of Yourself

The unhappy, failure-type personality cannot develop a new self-image by pure will power, or by arbitrarily decid­ing to. There must be some grounds, some justification, some reason for deciding that the old picture of self is in error, and that a new picture is appropriate. You cannot merely imagine a new self-image; unless you feel that it is based upon truth. Experience has shown that when a per­son does change his self-image, he has the feeling that for one reason or another, he "sees," or realizes the truth about himself.
The truth in this chapter can set you free of an old in­adequate self-image, if you read it often, think intently \ about the implications, and "hammer home" its truths to yourself.
Science has now confirmed what philosophers, mystics, and other intuitive people have long declared: every human being has been literally "engineered for success" by his Creator. Every human being has access to a power greater than himself.
This means "YOU."
