Changing one’s thought pattern may be a long and difficult process. But it can be accomplished by the practice of displacing unhealthy thoughts with healthy ones. You can pray out hate, for example. A man told me he had to pray 142 times to get rid of a certain hate but then, like a fever, it broke and he became a well man spiritually and emotionally. Don’t knock yourself out disliking or hating or resenting. It isn’t easy to shift from that habit to the love habit. But the person who does just that is in for a lot of happiness.
