It can be changed;
and to believe this is the first step in that direction.
Change yourself to correspond with the change
you desire in your environment.
Change yourself
and all other desirable changes must positively follow.
Whatever a man's ideals may demand,
he can gradually change himself
and modify his nature to correspond.
To produce the change we desire
we must keep the eye single
upon the mental picture of that change.
We must live in the mental world of that change.
To change himself, man must change his thought,
because man is what he thinks;
and to change his actions, he must change the purpose of his life,
because every action is consciously or unconsciously inspired
by the purpose held in view.
When man undertakes to change himself or his environment
every power in his system must be directed
to so act as to promote that change.
The first power to be so directed is the power of thought.

The first power to be so directed is the power of thought.
To change his thought,
man must be able to determine
what impressions are to form in his mind,
because every thought is creation in the likeness of a mental impression.
The power of such thought will not produce any change in man
unless his personality is directed to live and express
those elements and factors that are contained within such a line of thinking.
When the superior man within is in action,
the will to think and the will to act practically become one will,
and every mental change is followed by a corresponding physical change.
Every mental change must be subconscious;
that is, the change must be a change of heart
or no change in life will follow.
To produce a change in any part of the mind or body
the conscious mind must first create that thought
that has the power to produce the necessary change.
Second, the conscious mind must will
to apply that thought in actual tangible action.
And third, that thought must be impressed
upon the subconscious, or rather,
the subconscious must be directed
to carry that thought into positive action.
If there is anything in our nature that we wish to change,
we should simply proceed to build up what we want
and forget completely what we wish to eliminate.
When the greater is built up,
the lesser will either be removed
or completely transformed
and combined with the greater.
If you have changed your thought,
but find no change for the better in your life,
you may know that it is only your outer thought,
your objective opinions, that you have changed;
the subjective causes remain unchanged.
What we permit to remain as it is
invariably corresponds to certain things
that we permit to remain in our own nature.
No mental change can produce a corresponding physical change
unless the new mental change contains the will to express itself.
Things will always take a turn
when we are determined that they shall.
