Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor.

Most of us are reflecting life and not affecting it. Your inner speech mirrors your mind, and your mind mirrors God. If you_x000D_ do not change your thoughts, you haven't changed their activity. And if_x000D_ you do not change their activity, the conditions of your life cannot_x000D_ change, for they are only bearing witness to the inner action of your_x000D_ mind.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Your thoughts shape your reality, and changing them is essential for changing your life.
This quote emphasizes the profound impact of our inner thoughts on our external reality. Neville Goddard suggests that by merely reflecting on life instead of actively affecting it, we remain passive in our experiences. Our thoughts and inner dialogue are powerful forces that reflect our relationship with the divine. Therefore, to truly transform our lives and circumstances, we must consciously change our thinking patterns to influence the activities of our minds, ultimately changing our life conditions.

But this was that view of human destiny which she had most passionately hated and rejected: the view that man was ever to be drawn by some vision of the unattainable shining ahead, doomed ever to aspire, but not to achieve. Her life and her values could not bring her to that, she thought; she had never found beauty in longing for the impossible and had never found the possible to be beyond her reach.
