After reading The Secret, I have come to understand that if you want something, you won’t have it unless you believe it’s already yours. I have applied this when choosing to better myself in the area of my personality and conscience. If I wish that I could be more aware of other people’s feelings rather than simply my own, and I believe that I have a better sense of awareness and conscious, “I will find that it is already there”, as Confucius said in Book 7 Verse 30 (“Is Goodness really so far away? If I simply desire Goodness, I will find that it is already there.”)
This is crucial, because wishing to have more awareness implies being attentive to the amount of awareness you already have. This self-assessment is the only thing needed to better oneself. This is why people who don’t think they do anything wrong don’t better themselves. When you’re perfect, what’s to amend?
