Control over your thoughts is the hardest exercise in mental self-mastery that you will ever
engage in. See if you can talk and think about only what you desire, and not talk or think about
anything you don't want, for 24 hours. Then you'll see what you're really made of. It's a hard thing
to do. But with practice, you can reach the point where you are thinking about your goals and
desires most of the time. Then your whole life will start to change for the better.

Two things you can do to build a belief system consistent with the happiness you desire.
First, continually repeat to yourself the words, pictures and thoughts consistent with your dreams
and goals. Whatever you repeat often enough, over and over, becomes a new belief.
Second, set a goal for yourself to think and talk only about the things that will make you happy
for the next 24 hours. This will be one of the hardest things you ever do. But if you can keep your
mind on what you want, and off what you don't want, for 24 hours, you can begin to change
your entire future.

Whatever you believe with emotion becomes your reality. You do not necessarily believe what
you see, but you see what you have already decided to believe.

Your beliefs control your realities. You always act in a manner consistent with your innermost
beliefs and convictions. In fact, you can tell what you or anyone else believes by simply looking
at what they do. It is not what a person says, or hopes, or writes, or wishes or intends that is a
clear indication of his beliefs; it is only his actions. Actions truly do shout louder than any words. It
is only the actions that a person actually takes that tells you what he truly believes.
Since you act in a manner consistent with your beliefs, and you can control your actions, if you
engage in actions consistent with the beliefs you want to have about yourself and your life, you
eventually develop those beliefs, just as you develop muscles by lifting weights.

For example, if you absolutely believe that you are destined to be happy in your chosen
circumstances, and you walk, talk, act and behave every single day exactly the way a happy
person would act, you will eventually develop the mindset of a happy individual in your
circumstances. As you progress, you will begin to get the results. Your belief will become the
actual fact. Your beliefs will become your realities.
Two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.
First, begin to believe today that you are programmed and designed to be happy and
successful. Create in yourself the beliefs you most desire — the beliefs that serve you the best.

Second, make a habit of walking, talking and behaving as if you were already enjoying the
blissfully happy life you dream of. Your behaviour and actions will build your belief system and
will become your reality.
