Conscious thinking leaves a greater imprint than unconscious thinking. Controls exercised by conscious will are many times more powerful than thinking on an unconscious level. To change our nature it is better to make conscious effort. It is through our nature that all thoughts and actions arise , though it is known that even the will to change arises from our nature and is innate in us. Yet we have to strive such is the paradox.
