Ella Wheeler Wilcox was an American remarkable author and poet.<br />She started writing poetry at a very early age, and was well known as a poet in her own state by the time she graduated from high school. She married Robert Wilcox. Not long after their marriage, they both became interested in Theosophy, New Thought, and Spiritualism. She made efforts to teach occult things to the world. Her works, filled with positivism, were popular in the New Thought Movement.<br /><br />Her book &quot;The Heart of the New Thought&quot; is a classic text in the &quot;New Thought&quot; movement published in 1902, yet much of her advice and wisdom is still true today. If you want to be happy, the change must first start with your thoughts.<br /><br />Wilcox suggests ways to change your thinking and specific actions to take in order to feel better about yourself and improve your life.<br /><br />For instance, have you ever noticed that the more you talk about being sick, the illness worsens and stays with you for a longer period of time?
