QUOTES ON WHY TO MANAGE THE MIND
Thinking creates an image.
Images control feelings.
Feelings cause actions.
Actions create results.
Leland Val Vandewall, as quoted by Bob Proctor
(One must accept this truism in order to make progress.)
Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
Buddha
You're nuts if you don't learn to manage the mind! Of course, being "nuts" is pretty much defined as having an unmanaged mind. Therefore, it seems the question is only "how nuts do you choose to be?" (I recommend as little as possible!)
The BuddhaKahuna
The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven.
John Milton
Now, let's get on to creating a heaven of life....
HOW TO MANAGE THE MIND
Much of what is on this website is oriented toward supporting the management of the mind and/or feeding it good stuff. All of the sections in Psychology contribute to that end and have pieces relevant to the process of managing the mind, but in "doable" actions so that no management training is needed. The Affirmations/Empowerment and Reminding/Inspiring/Grounding sections have materials that are directly related. The Confidence/Self-Esteem section can make a huge difference, as it sets up certain ways of viewing the world. See the navigation bars to the right.

WHY PEOPLE FAIL
"Fail" is not the exact right word. The right phrase to use is "not get the desired results."
The primary reason people do not get the desired results in this process is that they do not actually follow the process, at least not to the point of completion. Looking at the basic tenets in the Success section we can see the flaws (i.e. what is missing) in people's striving toward success. Looking at the basic tenets in the Power In Life section, we can see what is missing in the process of gaining full power in life. There is no mystery to it.
To gain full power (i.e. get the results desired) one needs to do the work until it is complete. (Duh!) See Completion.
To do the work to completion, one needs an absolute commitment to do it AND a laid out plan to follow, either one devised by someone else or, if the first is missing or doesn't quite fit, one's own plan.
Make no mistake about this, the consequences of not completing this adequately are unnecessary suffering and a life that is not as one would have wished it.
