By his good thinking, by watching the nature of his thoughts, by introspection, by active noble thinking, a man of discrimination builds his noble character,
forms his high destiny. He is careful in his choice of words. He speaks little. He speaks sweet loving words. He never utters any kind of harsh words that can
affect the feelings of others.

He develops patience, mercy and universal love. He speaks the truth.

He prepares himself to always get favourable circumstances. The man who spreads happiness will always get such favourable circumstances as can bring
him happiness. He who spreads pain to others will, without doubt, attract by the law of thought unfavourable circumstances that may include misery and
pain. Man creates his own character and circumstances, by the manner of his own thinking.

Bad character can be transformed into good one, by good thoughts, and unfavourable circumstances can be changed into favourable circumstances by doing
good actions.

Improve the quality of your thinking

Human beings are mental organisms. Everything we are or ever will be, will be as the direct result of the way we think. If we improve the quality of our
thinking, we must improve the quality of our lives. And, there is no other way to do it.

In tests given to children ages 2 - 4 years, 95% of the children were found to be highly creative with curious, questioning minds and an ability for abstract
thought.

Sadly, when the same children, were tested again at age 7, only 5% still demonstrated high levels of creativity. In the years in between, they had been taught
conform, conditioned by repetitive mental programming.

Children are taught to colour between the lines, sit in neat little rows like soldiers, to do and say what the other children did and said, and to do as they were
told. Over time, they lose the wonderful fearless spontaneity of youth and learn to suppress ideas and insights that are unusual or different.

Most of us have experienced something similar. Fortunately, the human race is creative. Creativity is your birthright, and you can tap into it at any time, no
matter how long it has been since you really used it.

What you think upon grows.

Whatever you allow to occupy your mind will be magnified in your life. Whether the subject of your thoughts is good or bad, the law works without judgement.
Any subject that you release from your thoughts tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use withers. Page131
