My concern is that there is not a consensus on how to do it. I like the idea of mimicking others successes. I know that environment and associations play a big part. I also believe that mantras or incantations will help change thoughts and are very important. I am eager to learn more.</p> I have been studying this idea of identity level change and there are many who recognize the need for it. My concern is that there is not a consensus on how to do it.

That is brilliant;; You wrote: ‘ what things have to change and what people have to change, and what circumstances have to change, rather than what thoughts and perceptions—what mental habits—do I have to change "
This reminds me of the follwoing quote attributed Oliver Wendell Holems: ‘ Watch your thoughts, for they become your words; Choose your words, for they become your actions; Understand your actions, for they become your habits; Study your habits, for they become your character; Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny"
Negative thoughts -> Negative words – Negative actions -> Negative Habits -> Negative character -> Negative Destiny.
Positive thoughts -> Positive words-> Positive actions -> Positive habits -> Positive character -> Positive destiny.
Things do not always work out the way we want. Pain is inevitable in life, but suffering is optional ( source unknown from ‘ Chat with God ‘).
Thank you for your inspirational messages. Let me know if I can be of any help, Good luck with the wonderful messages that you are spreading.

Certain mental habits seem to cling like pit bulls to a nice, juicy leg. Upgrading the mental software is definitely a must. Thanks for the reminder Dennis.</p> Personal discoveries through introspection are indeed gold nuggets to treasure, but then the quest is still ahead–how to change " the governing point of view" to create lasting and lofty improvements to thought and life.
