Psychological interpretation

A person acts as he does and has the experiences he has because his concept of himself is what it is, and for no other reason; life is a psychological drama in which circumstances come to pass by attitudes rather than acts, so a changed self-concept changes conduct and experience.

The corner-stone on which all things are based is mans concept of himself
He acts as he does, and has the experiences that he does, because his concept of himself is what it is, and for no other reason
The drama of life is a psychological one in which we bring circumstances to pass by our attitudes rather than by our acts
all changes of concepts of self result in a changed relationship to your world
His concept of himself is the cause of all the circumstances of his life
As I change my concept of self, I change my world
Nothing is more important to us than our conception of ourselves
However we toil or struggle, we can receive no more than our concepts of Self affirm
The most important thing in this world to you is your concept of self
Your concept of self determines the order of events you encounter
the concept you hold of yourself determines the concept you hold of others
Our concept of ourselves determines the scenery of our lives
We are ever our own jailers. The prison doors that we thought closed are truly ajar
Everything depends upon man’s attitude toward himself. That which he cannot or will not claim as true of himself can never evolve in his world
If we wish to see the world a finer, greater place, we must affirm the reality of a finer, greater being within ourselves
A change of concept of self is the right adjustment – the new relationship between the surface and the depth of man
