You are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it.Collection: Believe
All transformation begins with an intense, burning desire to be transformed. The first step in the 'renewing of the mind' is desire. You must want to be different [and intend to be] before you can begin to change yourself. Then you must make your future dream a present fact. You do this by assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled. By desiring to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person. If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable.Collection: Dream
Your opinion of yourself is your most important viewpoint. You are infinitely greater than you think you are.Collection: Thinking
It is not what you want that you attract, you attract what you believe to be true.Collection: Believe
Disregard appearances, conditions, in fact all evidence of your senses that deny the fulfillment of your desire. Rest in the assumption that you are already what you want to be, for in that determined assumption you and your Infinite Being are merged in creative unity, and with your Infinite Being all things are possible.Collection: Creative

Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to re-infect yourself.Collection: Inspiring
Imagination and faith are the secrets of creation.Collection: Imagination
The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself! Do not question how it will come about; just go your way knowing that the evidence of what you have done must appear, and it will.Collection: Knowing
The great secret is a controlled imagination and a well-sustained attention, firmly and repeatedly focused on the object to be accomplished.Collection: Positive
You must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled until your assumption has all the sensory vividness of reality. You must imagine that you are already experiencing what you desire. That is, you must assume the feeling of the fulfillment of your desire until you are possessed by it and this feeling crowds all other ideas out of your consciousness.Collection: Reality
A change of feeling is a change of destiny.Collection: Positivity
Be careful of your moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.Collection: Positivity

Stop trying to change the world since it is only the mirror. Man’s attempt to change the world by force is as fruitless as breaking a mirror in the hope of changing his face. Leave the mirror and change your face. Leave the world alone and change your conceptions of yourself.Collection: Men
Man must learn to believe in that which he does not, at the moment, see in order to grant himself that which he desires to have. Man's prayers are always answered, for he always receives that which he believes. The law that governs prayer is impersonal. Belief is the condition necessary to realize the desire. No amount of pleas or ritual will bring about the fulfillment of your desires other than the belief that you are or have that which you want.Collection: Prayer
Because of your belief in external things you think power into them by transferring the power that you are to the external thing. Realize you yourself are the power you have mistakenly given to outer conditions.Collection: Thinking

Learn to shake yourself loose from what the world believes is the only reality.Collection: Hope
A change of circumstance happens as a result of a change in your state of consciousness.Collection: Consciousness

Changing your life means changing your past.Collection: Mean
Sleep conceals the creative act while the objective world reveals it. In sleep man impresses the subconscious with his conception of himself.Collection: Sleep

All you need is time... and you have it... NOWCollection: Life
All conceptions are limitations of the conceiver.Collection: Conception
What you consent to can only be discovered by an uncritical observation of your reactions to life. Your reactions reveal where you live psychologically; and where you live psychologically, determines how you live here in the outer visible world.Collection: Where You Live
Command any idea to clothe itself in form.Collection: Positive
The ideal we serve and strive to attain could never be evolved from us were it not potentially involved in our nature.Collection: Strive

Live your life in a sublime spirit of confidence and determination.Collection: Determination
I AM is a feeling of permanent awareness. The very center of consciousness is the feeling of I AM. I may forget who I am, where I am, what I am, but I cannot forget that I Am. The awareness of being remains, regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where, and what I am.Collection: Who I Am
Truth depends upon the intensity of imagination, not upon facts.Collection: Imagination
There is nothing more important than developing your imagination to transform your life from the inside world of your thoughts and feelings to the outside world of your results and manifestations.Collection: Positive
The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference between success and failure.Collection: Motivational
I AM (your true self) is not interested in man’s opinion. All its interest lies in your conviction of yourself. What do you say of the I AM within you? Can you answer and say, “I AM Christ”? Your answer or degree of understanding will determine the place you will occupy in life. Do you say or believe yourself to be a man of a certain family, race, nation, etc.? Do you honestly believe this of yourself? Then life, your true self, will cause these conceptions to appear in your world and you will live with them as though they are real.Collection: Real
I imagine that people see me as they would see me if I were the man that I want to be.Collection: Men
NOTHING is impossible to you.Collection: Positive
