I May Be A Mistake Maker, But

Our Self Image, Strongly Held, Essentially Determines What We Become.

Your Present Negative Beliefs Were Formed By Thought Plus Feelings. Generate Enough Emotion, Or Deep Feeling And Your New Thoughts And Ideas Will Cancel Them Out.

Live In The Present. The Past Is Gone; The Future Is Unknown -- But The Present Is Real, And Your Opportunities Are Now. You Must See These Opportunities; They Must Be Real For You. The Catch Is That They Can't Seem Real If Your Mind Is Buried In Past Failures, If You Keep Reliving Old Mistakes, Old Guilts, Old Tragedies. Fight Your Way Above The Many Inevitable Traumatizations Of Your Ego, Escape Damnation By The Past, And Look To The Opportunities Of The Present. I Don't Mean Some Vague Moment In The Present -- Next Week Or Next Month, Perhaps. I Mean Today, This Minute.

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.

Plan All You Want For The Future. Prepare For It. But Don't Worry About How You Will React Tomorrow, Or Even Five Minutes From Now. Your Creative Mechanism Will React Appropriately In The 'now' If You Pay Attention To What Is Happening Now.
