When you become an expert at this practice
you can rapidly accelerate your opportunities for success. Instead of dragging
through life, learning only from trial and error, you can easily redirect your
consciousness in a short time by becoming more conscious and aware. You can
enrich every other area of your life. Furthermore, you’ll become a more
thoughtful person. You won’t forget the good parts of your day, nor the good
done you by others so constantly.
The question may occur, "What if I, in the safety of my
easy chair, create a new section in my film clip — a new way that I’d
ideally wish to behave — but then I go out into that situation again in a few
days only to find I fall back on my same old ways, ways I disapprove of, ways I
thought I had conquered?"
Don’t be discouraged. Keep in mind that as you do this
practice you are truly changing your tendencies. Remember how powerful
tendencies are? When you find that one period in introspection had not changed
an old, deeply ingrained habit, simply determine to keep up the practice one day
at a time, until this new state of being becomes your tendency, becomes your
habit.
You will be amazed by the benefits...
