Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder and spiritual mother of Unity, changed the way people think about healing and transformation. She taught that we can change our minds — that our thoughts aren’t fixed, and by choosing new beliefs, we can shape our lives. This wasn’t just theory for Myrtle; she used these ideas to heal her own body and encouraged others to do the same.

Her story is one of persistence. Myrtle didn’t expect instant results. She stuck with her spiritual practices, day after day, and urged others to keep applying Unity’s principles even when change seemed slow.

Faith tied it all together. For Myrtle, faith was practical — a deep trust in the good at work within us. She encouraged people to lean on this faith, use it to guide their thoughts and actions, and believe in the possibility of healing and renewal. Through her example, Myrtle showed that with a change of mind, persistent practice, and unwavering faith, transformation is possible.
