PROTECT THE CHOSEN THOUGHTS

WE MUST GET OUR LIVES IN ORDER BY TAKING DOMINION OF OUR THOUGHTS. BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS EASY. FIRST IT IS NECESSARY TO CHOOSE THE KIND OF THOUGHTS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKING FORM IN OUR EXPERIENCE. SECOND, WE MUST STRIVE TO PROTECT OUR THOUGHTS AGAINST THE INFILTRATION OF RACE THINKING. THIRD WE MUST SET ABOUT TO ERASE OLD THOUGHTS PATTERNS THAT MIGHT TEND TO IMPINGE UPON OUR NEW THINKING. AND TO BE EFFECTIVE IN THIS WE MUST LEARN HOW TO DIRECT OUR SELF THROUGH AUTO-SUGGESTION. NAPOLEON HILL IN HIS BOOK "THINK AND GROW RICH" WRITES -- " YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER BUT ONE THING, AND THAT IS YOUR THOUGHTS. THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AND INSPIRING OF ALL FACTS KNOWN TO MAN! IT REFLECTS MAN'S DIVINE NATURE. THIS DIVINE PREROGATIVE IS THE SOLE MEANS BY WHICH YOU MAY CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY. IF YOU FAIL TO CONTROL YOUR OWN MIND, YOU MAY BE SURE YOU WILL CONTROL NOTHING ELSE. IF YOU MUST BE CARELESS WITH YOUR POSSESSION, LET IT BE IN CONNECTION WITH MATERIAL THINGS. YOUR MIND IS YOUR SPIRITUAL ESTATE! PROTECT AND USE IT WITH THE CARE TO WHICH DIVINE ROYALTY IS ENTITLED. YOU WERE GIVEN A WILLPOWER FOR THIS PURPOSE."
