Why does one person have success after success and another has challenges just meeting daily standards? Why do similar people in style, talent and opportunity have wide discrepancies in results? There are two types of people. One is energized with confidence and faith. He or she sees possibilities for success everywhere. He "knows" that he is born to win and succeed. She "knows" good fortune favors the bold. Calculated risk brings out the best in this person.
Then there is the type of person that is de-energized. He has fears and doubts. Not necessarily doubts or fears of reaching mediocrity, but low energy for reaching maximum performance potential. This person thinks problems. He fears risk and avoids confrontation. What is the secret that one person possesses that sets him or her apart from their contemporaries?
The secret to one's success lies in the power found in the subconscious mind, the computer storehouse for infinite intelligence. The mind governs, controls and directs your life. And yes... you have free will to protect it from negative influence and nurture it for your positive gain.
Your subconscious mind is behind the scenes like the Wizard of Oz. It is pulling the strings of your successes and your failures. It is amenable to suggestion. This is the good news and the bad news. And whatever you impress on your subconscious will be expressed on the screen of space as events, conditions, circumstances, situations or experiences. "Garbage in, garbage out!"
Plant positive seeds of thought and you'll reap a bountiful harvest.
Plant negative seeds of thought and you may rue the day.
Check the suggestions that people give to you. You will find that many of these suggestions are for the purpose of making you think, feel and act, as others want you to and in ways that are to their advantage. Study what is said. Much is propaganda. Many statements to you are based on false assumptions, hearsay or gossip.
Some examples are:
You need luck to do that!
You haven't got a chance
It's no use.
It's not what you know, but whom you know.
You're too old.
We can't win for losing.
You can't trust a soul.
The world's all screwed up.
What's the world coming to?
Life's an endless grind.
I figured that would happen.
You'll never amount to anything
That's just the way you are.
Love is for the birds.
Watch out, you'll get the flu.
Everybody's getting sick.
I told you that wouldn't work.
That's just the way it goes.
You can't expect to succeed all of the time.
You win some and you lose some.
It's all about the law of averages.
If you didn't have any bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all.
There's not enough time in the day.
If we had better direction, we would perform better.
Why try? It's not appreciated. It does us no good.
They don't care what we do.
I'm just going to do my job and keep my mouth shut.
Do not initiate or pass along these types of statements.
More importantly, do NOT accept these suggestions. Most people want to be liked. It's because of this feeling and the need for acceptance that we agree with other people's sentiments, statements and feelings. Living in Chicago, you can be asked daily about the weather (especially this time of year). "The weather is so cold here. Don't you wish you lived in a warmer place?" The best response is, "I love Chicago and I don't mind the changing seasons." But most of us want to be accepted and don't want to offend the person asking the question. The typical response is to agree. "Yeah, I hate the weather here. I wish I had a home on the beach."
You control what goes into your subconscious. You are the master filter. You have to give your mental consent. Other people's thoughts must become yours for it to be an action in your mind. If the words are not to your liking, dismiss them or replace them with what's positive for you.
Once your subconscious mind fully accepts an idea or thought, it begins to execute it. If the suggestion is negative and you accept it, you will be on your way to the mindset of a victim or judge. This is not the mindset of the champion.
Your subconscious does not reason or think things out. It does not argue. It does not make comparisons or contrasts. It is like the soil that accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. This computer storehouse doesn't know or care whether your thoughts are good or bad, true or false or right or wrong.
Remember!
Whatever your subconscious believes and expects will manifest into its physical equivalent. Thoughts of despair and money woes will keep you in poverty. Thoughts of prosperity will lead to wealth and abundance.
Stand guard and protect your greatest possession. Free Will.
Stay in the Zone!
