It is through continuous repetition of certain actions that you are the maker of your habits; and you must undo harmful ones by a similarly regular effort, implemented by conscious exercise of will and the discriminative power of reason.
A short, crisp, and clear way of telling somebody to dust away the bad habit and adopt the good ones instead. There were umpteen statements in this book that ear wormed their way to my head. Some of them were:
"As water by condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form".
"Thought by itself can do anything".
"Current experience is nothing but a series of ideas".
Altering habits isn't that difficult. With strong determination, anything is possible. Lastly, don't forget to be grateful.
What would you think of a son who says, "Mother, write a check for me," whenever he needs anything, bu otherwise gives no thought to her? Don't be like that; never be ungrateful.
I am glad that I read this book.
Signing off with my favorite quote from this book,
Man is the architect of his own destiny.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him shall bee taken away even that he hath.- Mathew 13:12
