However, let’s explore reasons for change. Firstly, aspects in your life that negatively affect self progression, whether put upon yourself or not, scream loudest to be changed.

Many times guarded vaults inside ourselves mask this need for change, due to false pride, or mere misperception of how change can improve our quality of life. As a result, a vicious cycle of negativity will hover if these changes fail to be made.

So then, how do we know when to prioritize a needful change so that it can be properly made?

No matter how blind one can get, signs from friends and family, or negative reactions to your conduct by others can definitely be most telling, and that’s where you would start.

This recognition is a crucial beginning point, because if you can’t recognize and then admit, then you will always be in denial of your infractions.

For example: If you are a drug addict or any type of addict for that matter, only way you are going to get clean of that chemical is not by force from state or your family, but from within.

This introspection, though through a haze of chemicals or denial is tough, cannot be overstated in its importance. Although, when done with logic and perspective, it can be utterly empowering.

And without power to concentrate; that is to say, without power to dictate to brain its task and to ensure obedience; true life is impossible. Mind control is first element of a full existence.

Hence, it seems to me, first business of day should be to put mind through its paces. You look after your body, inside and out; you run grave danger in hacking hairs off your skin; you employ a whole army of individuals, to enable you to bribe your stomach into decent behaviour. Why not devote a little attention to far more delicate machinery of mind, especially as you will require no extraneous aid? It is for this portion of art and craft of living that I have reserved time from moment of quitting your door to moment of arriving at your office.

"What? I am to cultivate my mind in street, at office, in bus, and in crowded street again?" Precisely. Nothing simpler! No tools required! Not even a book. Nevertheless, affair is not easy.

When you leave your house, concentrate your mind on a subject (no matter what, to begin with). You will not have gone ten yards before your mind has skipped away under your very eyes and is larking round corner with another subject.
