Habit rules us all.
You have formed, perhaps, the habit of thinking of yourself as
a common person, as one of a limited ability, or as being more
or less of a failure. Whatever you habitually think yourself to
be, that you are. You must form, now, a greater and better
habit; you must form a conception of yourself as a being of
limitless power, and habitually think that you are that being.
It is the habitual, not the periodical thought that decides
your destiny. It will avail you nothing to sit apart for a few
moments several times a day to affirm that you are great, if
during all the balance of the day, while you are about your
regular vocation, you think of yourself as not great. No amount
of praying or affirmation will make you great if you still
habitually regard yourself as being small.
