ONE GOOD REWARD LEADS TO ANOTHER
     Here’s a practical method you can use for inner health. The title is “One Good Reward Leads to Another.” Following is an example:
     When I relax I slow down my mind.
     When I slow down my mind, I gain control of my thoughts.
     When I gain control over my thoughts, I see my life clearly.
     When I see my life clearly, I make right decisions.
     When I make right decisions, I serve my real needs.
     You can continue by adding as many rewards that you like. You can do this either in your mind in spare moments or by writing them down. One reward could be “When I remember rightness …” then go on to the next one. Another reward could be, “When I don’t want to feel pain any more …,” and so on.
     Start any way you want, and use this as an example to go on and on and you'll see for yourself that one good reward leads to another good reward.

ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY
     You must accept the pain of seeing that whatever happens to you in your mind and feelings and in your life, you are responsible for that devastation being there and remaining there. When you accept the pain and responsibility for it being there, you will then see the explanation for your wrong and painful life.
     You see that you want to strike out at the world at some particular individual, some group, some situation in the world. If you don’t see it, you will never understand it and never put it out of your life.
     This self-examination and self-study of your own wide variety of agonies is essential, necessary and you cannot do without it.
