________________ SELF-EXAMINATION always that, we must never think of the weakness, but of its corresponding power. We think that which we desire . to be, and gradually, inevitably, we become it. The law cannot fail; we have only to 'work with it in order to succeed. The desire-nature is similarly modified by thought, and we create the thought-forms of the opportunities we need ; alert to see and to grasp a suitable opportunity, our will also fixes itself on the forms our thought creates, and thus draws them within reach, literally making and then grasping the opportunities which the karma of the past does not present to us. Hardest of all to change is our environment, for here we are dealing with the densest form of matter, that on which our thought-force is least .potent. Here our freedom is very restricted, for we are at our weakest and the past is at its strongest.
