If you wish to cultivate a certain habit of action,
begin by cultivating the mental attitude corresponding to it.
And as a means of cultivating that mental attitude,
start to "act out" or go through the motions of the act
corresponding to the thought.
If you wish to cultivate a quality in which you are deficient,
you must think of it, dream about it, concentrate upon it -
live it out in your thoughts as a "day-dream" or "mental picture" -
hold the visualized mental image of it always with you -
and last, and equally as important, if not more so,
act out the physical manifestation of it - play the part out.
Act your part earnestly, ardently, constantly, eagerly, steadily.
