"You have probably seen those divers down in Mexico who plunge from a tall
cliff into the churning sea. In their original search for a proper diving
position they covered and rejected several possibilities. One position was
too low, another failed to offer enough clearance, a third was rejected
because of the shallow sea at the point of a diver's entry. But at last
they found a high pinnacle from which to dive with safety and skill. By
launching themselves from this proper position, their high-diving
succeeded. [Mental Picture 39
hat is what we must do also. We must launch our daily actions _from
correct mental positions._ If we do not do so, we have neither safety nor
success. But with them, we achieve a confidence that guarantees right
results.
What are some of these confidence-building ideas from which you can act? We
have already covered many of them up to this point in the book, but here
are five more solid mental positions from which to think:
1. The True Self is not subject to depression. 2. Mental Pictures enrich you. 3. All negative emotions can be dissolved. 4. Sincere work on yourself is always rewarded. 5. There is a way out!
From this day forward, think _from_ positive ideas like these. By doing so,
you will not fail to change whatever things in your life you want to
change."
