    About this ebook

    Words of praise are found in the papers belonging to Dr. Bloodworth, for the widely acknowledged importance of balance as being essential to successful living. In a few brief lines, she has set forth an explicit explanation of the relationship between the four drives: work, play, love, and worship, along with her views concerning the desirability of recognizing the value, and giving expression to each. "Right thinking is the most important thing in our lives. Most of us merely reflect the opinions of others. Some fear to express an opinion of their own, because they fear ridicule. Shake off the old ideas, fears, beliefs, and prejudices. Dare to have a few ideas of your own. Mind is the master weaver of your destiny. Stand porter at the door of your mind, and let no thoughts enter except those you want to live with." -Venice J. Bloodworth

      A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

      Although the book, KEY TO YOURSELF, was no doubt the greatest single accomplishment of her career, Dr. Venice J. Bloodworth was also known through her works, to many people within and around the vicinity of Atlanta, Georgia, as teacher, counselor, and friend.

      Venice Bloodworth received her doctorate in psychology from Northwestern University, Chicago. The content of her teaching, and the practice of her chosen profession reflect both the findings of modern psychologists, and the principles taught hundreds of years ago by Jesus of Nazareth. In describing her work she has said this: The method is always the same, regardless of what is to be accomplished. First, the idea. Second, visualizing the idea. Third, manifesting the idea. First we make a decision; then, we use the marvelous function of the mind, the imagination, which I call the workshop of the mind, to visualize this change. Since it is a law that energy follows thought, then when the thoughts are flowing in a positive manner, we get positive results.

      She shared her formula for health, beauty, joy, harmony, and richer living through several avenues: writing, private consultations, public lectures, and class work. Dr. Bloodworth referred to her subject matter as Spiritual Psychology, and set for her purpose in teaching the goal of helping humanity, by explaining to people that they can THINK themselves into actually being well, happy, prosperous, and beautiful. In addition she provided helpful suggestions as to how her students might nurture this belief, and thus stay with it, until the desired changes appeared either in form or experience.

      The personal affirmation she used to begin her day’s activities was this: I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and happy. Standing before her mirror, she repeated these words for about ten minutes each day. Evidence of the effectiveness of her belief came to her in many ways. For instance, she discarded her glasses after realizing that her eyes were whole and perfect, and continually rebuild themselves.

      When Dr. Bloodworth was around thirty years of age, she decided that this was such a nice age to be that
