DAY 6
YOU HAVE GREAT POSSIBILITIES
There Are Unlimited Resources Within You
What is man that thou art mindful of him? Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands: Thou has put all things under his feet. (Psalm 8:4, 6)
Now that you realize that life holds nothing against you, that It is depriving you of nothing, ii would naturally follow that all of It is available to you. What you are is an expression of infinite Intelligence, partaking of ITS nature and creativity. So wherein does your responsibility lie?
THE DIET: There ever lies within me the birthright, the privilege, and the obligation to discover in the depths of my own being the greater person I already am. I know longer limit myself in any respect. From the infinite Source of all things I accept and express greater health. All my creative endeavor, which is but the pressing forth through e of the Divine urge to creativity, is now brought to fuller fruition. Ideas and inspiration flow in an endless stream from the One Mind. Just as every thought in the Mind of God is in its nature creative, so every idea that flows into my mind carries with it the power, the ways and the means of its own accomplishment and fulfillment. In every aspect of my life I expect, I accept, I now experience the continuous dynamic flow of infinite possibility into tangible manifestation. I have no barriers, limitations and all good is mine.
Capsule: God is not limited, neither is His expression in and through me, I accept and experience in all ways the abundant flow of Life’s greater potential

DAY 7
DISCOVERING YOURSELF
You Are in Partnership with the Creator of the Universe
..as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself (John 5:26)
Your consciousness, intelligence and ability to think are part of infinite Intelligence in you as you. Its thought is creative, and so is yours at the level of your expression of It. You are a co-creator with the One Mind! As a tangible creation and manifestation of the One Mind, what are you doing about it? What can you do about it? What do you need to do about it? There appears to be a responsibility that is largely unrecognized; an obligation to fulfill that is not fully comprehended. This comes from not knowing the nature of what you are.
THE DIET: Every man is a creation of God – a Child of God – and I am that Child now. God is forever creating and becoming His creation. The nature of God is never diminished by what He creates; I have yet to fully awake to all that I am. God is what I am. All of God is where I am. God speaks and it is done. I declare and affirm that only the perfect, harmonious action of God is what appears in and through my life and experience. I straighten out my thinking. As a co-creator with God, I now declare that from this moment on, all the patterns of my thinking shall always be in accord with the greatest possible good.
CAPSULE: I recognize and affirm that the creative action of the sport of Divinity that resides at the center of my being, is unhindered by my negative thinking, goes forth anew into fuller expression in my life.

DAY 8
Essence Live with Enthusiasm
Expression is the of Life
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure (Philippians 2:13)
The salient factor in all living things is a purposeful, constructive action. There is a continual growth and progression toward a goal. This is one of the criteria that scientists use to separate those things which they term alive from the so-called inanimate material of the world.
THE DIET: I am a part of Life. I turn to the infinite Intelligence, recognizing that It is also my intelligence. Infinite Mind always fulfills Its every desire. I am guided and directed into new situation, possess new ideas, and discover new ways to be creative in what I am now doing. I am supplied with the knowledge, the means, and the ways to become a more active, dynamic channel for the purposefulness of Life.
Capsule: Today in all ways I express ore fully the creative activity of Life. I discover more joy and happiness through a greater influx and outflow of Divine ideas.

DAY 9
HOW TO REMOVE LIMITATIONS
Life Does Not Limit You
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God…. All things were made by him; and without his was not anything made that was made. (John 1: 1, 3)
By definition, the universe is limitless, and as such must contain infinite possibilities. Within the bounds of law, physical and spiritual, it appears that there are no restrictions on the purposeful creative activity of man. Everything that has happened, everything that can happen, must of necessity flow from some activity of infinite Intelligence.
THE DIET: I know that there is nothing in a limitless universe that bars me from a greater experience of good. I recognize that there is no limit to my good and I place no restrictions on the amount I may accept and use. Although my good may come to me through human channels, it is the creative activity of God that provides it. I open my mind, encompass the greatest good I can possibly conceive and without a question of doubt accept and act as if it were mine now—God does the rest.
CAPSULE: Today I live the abundant life. Mentally and emotionally I know that the action of infinite Intelligence now creates in my experience those things which correspond to my connection that my every good need is fulfilled.

DAY 10
YOU ALWAYS SUCCEED
It is Impossible for You To Fail
Strange as it may sound, it is impossible for you to fail. For if you fail you have succeeded in being a failure!
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it (Isaiah 55:11)
THE DIET: From this day on, I determine to succeed only in those things which are worthy, beneficial, and provide the greatest good. Whether it is in relation to my health, those about me, or my affairs, I establish now in my mind ideas embodying the way I desire things to be. I am rightly guided to establishing and maintaining those patterns of thought that correspond to the nature of God, which is good. I let my thought dwell only on things of benefit to myself and others and I now expect only good things to happen to me...
CAPSULE: Success is always mine, and I now determine and declare that my thoughts – the pattern of my success—shall be like the thoughts of God which are only good.

DAY 11
DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF
Lean To Do the Right Things in the Right Way
I can of mine own self do nothing…the Father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works (John 5:30; 14:10)
Naturally you like to feel that you are doing the right thing at the right time. But too often in looking back you realize that you should have acted other than the way you did. To all intents and purposes you were sure that you did your best at the time. But did you? Did you use all the resources at your command?
THE DIET: I have confidence in my ability to achieve every good thing I undertake, for I know that from the Divine Center within, I am properly guided and directed to do the right thing at the right time in the right way. I cease hesitating, wondering and doubting. In God there is only right action, and as I now turn to and accept His action in my life today, all is as it should be. I now let God become a partner in all that I do, there follows increased confidence in living
CAPSULE: Today, through the action of infinite Intelligence at the center of my being, I am rightly guided in all my decisions and actions so that the greatest good comes to me and to others.

DAY 12
HOW TO CREATE NEW IDEAS
There is a Limitless Source of Inspiration
Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10)
Everyone has had the experience at one time or another of having an unusually bright idea. Some have them more often than others; some seem to be continually inspired. Such moments of insight are called hunches, bright ideas, inspirations, intuitions, strokes of genius, and other similar terms... They all add up to the same thing---something new has come into the mind.
THE DIET: This day, like every day, is a new beginning; it is filled with a wonderful potential of new ideas and new inspiration. Regardless of the situation in which I may be, I know there is always available to me the limitless resources of the One Mind, of which my mind is a part. I am ever alert to ideas seeking to find an outlet through me. I recognize them and act upon them, knowing that come provided with the ways and means for their fulfillment. God created me as an expression of Himself and as a channel through which He nay continually express. A new life of new ideas now is mine.
CAPSULE: I know my mind is of the One Mind and is an ever increasing channel for the flow of inspiration and creative ideas which open up a whole new world of richer living for myself and others.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 13:
STOP BEING AFRAID
Don’t Defeat Yourself
I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. (Psalms 23:4)
For the most part people seem to go through life being afraid of one thing or another. In fact, many appear to go out of their way to find things to be apprehensive about. Their thoughts emphasize what they are fearful of and overlook those things in which they may have complete confidence and security. In spite of all appearances and situations, of one thing you may be sure, and is that there is nothing in the nature of Life Itself that holds anything against you.
THE DIET: I acknowledge and accept that my life fundamentally is good and that all that appears otherwise doesn’t belong to it. There is nothing I need fear for the Life that flows through me can desire only the best of all possible tings for Itself. I live with the sense of security that the right thing is always done in the right way at the right tie for my greater expression and experience of the Spirit of Life that resides at the center of my being. All possible good flows from God and is mine to accept, and I do accept it now.
CAPSULE: I now declare that my faith is soundly found in the good I desire. Fear of any kind is removed and replaced with a complete confidence that God is only good and that this good now fills my every experience.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 14
LIFE OWES YOU NOTHING
Living Is What You Make It
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it will be opened unto you. (Luke 11:9)
The cause of a great many of the troubles people encounter rests in the fact they seem to have developed a sort of lethargy, which demands that everything be brought to them on silver platter without their having to do anything about it. This is a nice idea if it would work, but it doesn’t, for it overlooks the fact that basic and fundamental to all existence is activity and creativity.
THE DIET: Life withholds nothing from me. Life owes me nothing. In this knowledge and awareness I redirect and re-pattern my thinking so that I discover new abilities within myself, and I’m guided into new ways and means of expressing them. I no longer wait for God to give me that which I may need, for I know that all that there is has already been given. My thought and my action express my belief and as I give of myself to life I am abundantly rewarded.
CAPSULE: Life becomes to me what I am to It. Today my every thought and act is my giving to the world my highest concept of what I believe God is, and the lawful creative activity of God returns to me in tangible form the good I have affirmed is mine.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DATE 15
THE ART OF GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE
People Do Not Need To Be Problems
Therefore all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12)
Harmonious living largely depends upon the nature of your relationship with others; in your home, place of work, or casual encounters. You are influenced by and dependent upon others, by what they mean to you and what you mean to them. You can’t avoid contacting people so it becomes a matter of great importance that your contacts are of a harmonious nature.
THE DIET; Today, I firmly establish in my mind that I am at peace with myself and have harmonious relationships with all those around me. I rid my mind of all negative attitudes toward others and express only love, consideration, and appreciation for them. I know and declare that they can be to me only what I believe them to be.
CAPSULE: Today and everyday there is a harmonious relationship between me and everyone I associate with; it is a reflection of the love and good will I have toward them. All differences of the past are removed and replaced with an increasing mutual understanding.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 16
MAKE YOUR AFFAIRS PROSPER
You Live in the Midst of Abundance
What things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them (Mark 11:24
Why should you be prosperous? Fundamentally, Life is never stingy, never lacking; there is a superabundance of all that is. Nature is prolife in every aspect. One look about you and you can see this for yourself. Do you have a reason to suppose that Life’s abundance stops where you begin?
THE DIET: There is no limit to the abundance. I know that I am part of and not separate from the infinite Intelligence in which all things reside and have their being. In this knowledge and conviction I know that God’s creative action continues manifest itself through the pattern of thinking that I maintain. I let go of all ideas of limitations and accept the abundance and prosperity that is the very nature of God’s being and c creation. In everything I do I am prosperous.
CAPSULE: The universe is limitless abundant, prosperous creation and activity of God. I now accept His Life as my life and all that He possesses now becomes available to me to have and experience. I let loose of limitation and accept prosperity in all things.

DAY 17
HOW TO BUILD SECURITY
Proper Investments Pay Build Dividends
..seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. (Luke 12:31)
As incongruous as it may seem, security rests not in the tangible things of the world but in the security that you are able to establish within your own mind. This does not mean that you disregard such tangible evidence of security as you may possess, but rather, that which enables you to create and establish outer security is determined by your inner sense of security.
THE DIET: Every day I know that I am secure. I am no longer satisfied with just results because I have discovered That which is the cause of them. God is my partner throughout my experience of living and I accept His abundance in all respects. I have and unwavering and unshakable conviction that God can, does, and will always provide an abundance of all good things.
CAPSULE: My final security is in God and His infinite creative action. I know that as I declare that security is ever present in my life, out of His limitless abundance that which I need for my security is always supplied

DAY 18
LEARN TO LIKE YOURSELF
You Can’t Avoid Living with Yourself
He that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us. (1 John 3:24)
At some time or another, you reach the point where you must have a certain amount of respect and consideration for yourself. You cannot get away from yourself as much as you may sometimes like to. If the matter of living is to be an enjoyable experience, the first person to get along with is yourself. The manner in which you regard yourself if determines the manner in which you confront the world and the way it reacts to you. You are admonished to like others as you like yourself. Just how well do you like what you are?
THE DIET: Today, I know that the same as every other person, I am a purposeful creative expression of the activity of Life which seeks to find great fulfillment in Its creation. I love myself because I appreciate the life within me; I give thanks for Its vital dynamic expression of what I am. I know myself to be a wonderful person. As I come to like myself for what I really am, I dismiss all derogatory ideas. Life takes on a new meaning. To the degree that I like myself, I am now able to like others. I recognize and accept myself as the fulfillment of a Divine idea, an idea of power, beauty, joy and creativity. I permit this idea to fully express itself as the wonderful person I am.
CAPSULE: I now know that regardless of what I may have considered myself to be in the past, at the center of my being I am a wonderful expression of an idea in the Mind of God

DAY 19
DISCOVER YOUR PLACE IN LIFE
There is a Need for Your Abilities
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (11 Corinthians 9:8)
You possess certain abilities which you need to recognize and work to capitalize on. In many instances certain abilities just naturally blossom forth. At other times you may seek to discover what new capabilities you might possess and then cultivate and develop them. In any situation, or in whatever direction you think you are best able to give to the world of what you have, there is a proper place for you to do so.
THE DIET: I know that in the Mind of God there is a reason and a purpose to be fulfilled in my life. I continuously seek the greater potentials that reside within me; I recognize them, accept them, and express them; there is a right way and a right place for this creative activity. I am never at a loss as to what to say or do that can in some way enhance all I undertake. I know that my way is made clear, that I am guided and directed in a manner that permits me to express to the utmost the innermost nature of my being.
CAPSULE: I know that God is continually active and creative through me and that there is a unique purpose for my g being. I discover my rightful place in life so that I may give the best of what I am.

DAY 20
PEACE OF MIND CAN BE YOURS
The Value of Being Discontented
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well…but will thou know…that faith without works is dead? (James 2: 19-20)
There has been a lot of talk and a lot written about “peace of mind.” Some seem to think that is it something to be desired and others say that they want nothing to do with it. Apparently, there is considerable misunderstanding as to just what it means. As a place to start, you might consider peace of mind as the absence of confusion and conflict in your thinking.
THE DIET: I welcome the discontent that wells up from within me; I recognize it as a Divine urge to express the purposeful activity of Life. I welcome the challenges, the problems, and the difficulties I many encounter, for living involves a continual endeavor, constant aspiration, and a never ending goal to achieve. I now find joy, peace, and happiness in all I do and in all my surroundings. My thoughts now reflect the nature of God thoughts and they are productive of harmonious action and satisfaction. Peace of mine is now mine; I know that is it the satisfaction that comes from the successful completion of a creative act and a contribution to Life.
CAPSULE: I discovered that true peace of mind, devoid of conflict and confusion, which comes with activity fulfilling my place in life. I permit myself to be a channel for the creative activity of God which never ceases.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 21
USING THE POWER OF LOVE
Love Alone Makes Life Worthwhile
…by love serve one another, for all the love is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Galatian 5:13-14)
It could be said that the most important single thing in your experiencing of a more worthwhile life is your capacity to love. Love has been described as the greatest thing in the world, a force that cannot be resisted and that establishes peace and harmony. You are probably so used to hearing songs about it, and reading what the poets have said, that for the most part you have failed to recognize the important practical benefits of love in your daily life.
THE DIET: All is a creation of the harmonious action of God, an expression of God’s Love. It is in this Love that I live, move, and have my being. As I love, I am loved; as I help another, I am helped. My whole life is filled with a sense of love for all people. Regardless of what confronts me, I meet the situation with the creative, constructive force of Love which makes all thing right. The Love that is God, the great motivating Power of all life. Love alone rules my life.
CAPSULE: Love, harmony, cooperation, and mutual assistance are the very foundation of my life. In my every thought, emotions, and actions I express only Love and this Divine Power make everything right in my world.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE HEALTHY
It’s the Normal Natural Way to BE
Be ye therefore perfect. even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48)
In spite of the way you many now feel or the way you may have felt on some yesterday, the basic fact remains that it is the nature of things that the life you live should be healthy and that every function and action of your body should be perfect.
THE DIET: There is One Life, that Life is God; that Life is perfect and that Life is my life, now. The Divine idea which created my body now maintains, sustains, and renews every aspect of it. What does not belong is discarded and what needs to be repaired is now being made whole. Perfection always exists in the Mind of God and I accept and declare that this perfection is manifesting in me now. God created me and His Intelligence now makes perfect His creation.
CAPSULE: There is One Life, that Life is God, that Life is perfect, and that Life is my life now. The intelligent, purposeful activity of Life is now freely manifesting Its wholeness is every part of my experience.

DAY 23
LEAN TO AVOID STRESS AND ANXIETY
You Create Your Problems
Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4)
Today’s living seems to be filled with stress, anxiety, and pressure. Everybody, in one way or another apparently suffers from being alive in our present civilization. Although the causes of such conditions may exist in the world about you, you alone determine how you are going to react to them. You have the privilege of allowing conditions around you to become the cause of problems within you, or to rise above them.
THE DIET: I face life with a calm of assurance, a feeling of strength and security that enables me to discover a new found joy. Gone are the damaging stresses, anxieties, and pressures I formerly experienced; I know the Life that is at the center of my being, knows nothing of these things and It now guides and directs me in all the I do. Mental turmoil, emotional imbalance, and physical disturbances cease to be part of my experience, for I know them to be no part of God.
CAPSULE: In God there is only good. There are no opposites, irritation, stresses, or strains. I accept God as the Source of my life, and experience only harmony in my daily living.

HOW TO ENSURE YOUR HEALTH
It’s Never Too Late to Protect Yourself
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm 42: 11)
There are many thing involved in being healthy and staying healthy. Fundamental pf course, is the requisite of common sense in the care, treatment, and feeding of your body. Once you have done all that can be done physically for the proper care of your body. You then want some kind of insurance that guarantees health will be maintained.
THE DIET: Everything that God made is good; it could not be otherwise. I know that health is always mine to experience and it is always available to me in accordance with my acceptance of it. I build my health, I maintain my health, though by though, and nothing can deter me in my acceptance of the perfection of the One Life as active and creative in and through me. I remove all ideas of fear and anxiety about my body. Infinite Intelligence governs all the function of my body and I keep my own thinking clear and receptive to Its action, health is mine. Today and every day I insure God’s gift of health to me by the healthy pattern of my thinking.

DAY 25
WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR VITALITY
Start to Use Your Resources
God is my strength and power; and he maketh my way perfect. (2 Samuel 22:33)
Too often you complain of tiredness, weariness, exhaustion, lack of vitality, and of feeling low physically. This could not possibly the way you should normally feel, although you may have established such a condition as your regular state of affairs. Daily living does have a cycle, a period of activity followed by a period of rest. To be tired all of the time without activity, or to be unduly exhausted with a minimum of effort, would indicate that something needs to be done. You need to discover the source of your vitality and make use of it.
THE DIET: I know that there is unlimited vitality in me for my every good undertaking. Every part of my body is stimulated to a normal activity and a new surge of well-being floods through me. I never lack the mental or phys8cao strength to do what I need to do to accomplish the good I desire. My body is a mirror of my mind and I let my mind be a mirror of the One Mind. God is my life and strength; it is what I am and this is the life I start living today.

DAY 26
YOU CANT AVOID OLD AGE
You Are as Old as You Think You Are
Behold, I make all thing new (Revelation 21:5)
For all practical purposes, it is the nature of your thinking that determines the aging of your body, because thought influences the functions of the body. A negative pattern of thought can slow down or inhibit the action of any organ or process so that it shows evidence of what is termed old age.
THE DIET: Within the Mind of God and the action of the Law of Like there is nothing that can age. All the material substance which constitutes my body is ever available to it and the laws that govern my body’s functioning never cease their action. I no longer condemn myself by what I think to a present or approaching experience of old age. The Mind of God never exhausts Itself. I release my body from adherence to any negative thoughts I may have had about it and leave it free to conform to the great Law of Life that continually renews it.
CAPSULE: I now determine that my thoughts shall contain nothing that is contrary to the vital and ever-new expression of Life in me. I discard all ideas of old age and affirm that my body is healthy, normal, and active.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 27
STOP BEING SICK
Ill Health Can Be a Habit
…put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. (Colossians 3:10)
Just as some people are said to be accident prone, this is, they are always having unfortunate things happen to them, so it is with others in relation to their health. They always seem to be sick, and not always with the same thing. The medical man provides relief for one aliment only to find the patient back in a short time with something else wrong.
THE DIET: Life resides at the center of my being and is what I am. There is no illness in Life – God –and there is no necessity that I should experience illness. I let go of illness and except health; I convince myself mentally and emotionally that health is mine to experience and I accept it as my experience... All is well in God’s world, this I accept
I let the dynamic action of perfect Life flow freely and unobstructed through me, I no longer invite illness but declare that health alone is what I accept and experience.

You Can’t Have One Without the Other
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding (Proverbs 3:13)
Health may be said to pertain to a state of the physical body, while on the other hand happiness refers to a state of mind. But you are both body and mind and cannot divide yourself into pieces. The body is not separate from the mind, or the head from the body. The condition of one is reflected in the other, although the mind can be said to be the dominate part, the part that is conscious, has volition, and is able to direct the action and activities of you as a whole
THE DIET: It is in the nature of Life Intelligence God, that there is harmonious, Joyous creative activity. That which I am in body and mind is an activity and expression of God and there is no necessity that I be other than healthy and happy. In spite of any unhappiness or mental depression I may now have, I am convinced that Life flows through me anew and re-establishes Itself in me in accord with Its true nature. In both mind and body I reflect my highest concept of the nature of God, who can do Himself no harm or deprive Himself of the results of beneficial activity.
CAPSULE: Today and each day my life is an increasing experience and expression of health and happiness. I accept this as the normal activity of the Life that is within me.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 29
DISCOVER A NEW JOY OF LIVING
There is Nothing You Can’t Buy
The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Although they say the best things in life are fee and you have discovered that there are some things money cannot buy; you also have found that nothing is really free. The universal coin of the realm with which you are dealing, the payments that must be made can only be made with thoughts and ideas. Whether it is a tangible or intangible good that you wish to experience, the first and final payment can only be made by payments in thought.
THE DIET: In all ways in my acts, emotions, and thoughts, I more fully express the joyous nature of the Life that is at the center of my being. Joyous living now becomes my experience as I accept it as necessary and fundamental to a life that is a reflection of its Divine Source. Regardless of how rough or discouraging the way may seem, today, I know that tomorrow will be better because of the thoughts I establish today, I face life and living with joy in my heart, with enthusiasm in my mind, knowing that there is That within me which can and does express Itself through me in such a way that I continually grow, achieve, and mature into a better likeness of the Source which created me..
CAPSULE: Life is now a joyful adventure, for I know and accept the nature and action of the One Life flowing through me in all that I am and do.
Today, I will apply this idea to these aspects of my thoughts and actions:

DAY 30
YOU LIVE YOUR THOUGHTS
You Always Experience Your Convictions
..prove me now herewith, with the Lord of hosts, If I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it, (Malachi 3:10)
If there is one thing that you cannot do, it is to be and experience other than what you maintain in the content of your thought. Regardless of what you may say you are convinced of, it is what you actually believe that will manifest itself. You may give lip service to certain ideas and profession of belief, but it is meaningless in comparison to the seated emotional conviction you have relative to certain concepts basic to the nature of the life you are living. Negative ways of thinking declare themselves in your life until your remove or replace them with ideas that are for your benefit.
THE DIET: My life starts anew each day, each minute, and regardless of what the past may have been, or the present may be. Every instant is a new beginning. My future is determined by what I know, am convinced of, and have faith in, and there is That within me which guides and directs me in the acceptance of only the ideas which are for my greatest good. My conviction that the universe is a thing of law and order, and that in, though, and behind all things is the one Supreme Reality – God, Mind, Intelligence now enables me to change and redirect the course of my life so that I experience a greater degree of all good things.
CAPSULE: This day and every day I prove my conviction in a God that is good, and in His universe that is lawful and orderly. I believe that thought are things that ideas become manifest, and my every experience in testimony to the rightness of what I believe
