We have often heard that we are what we think
we are. If someone thinks, lives, behaves like an effluent person, there are
strong chances that he will become on, if not already. Conversely people who
crib about everything in life including their luck, fate, conditions and
lifestyle, the person must be a struggling in life.
But how about using this very strong manta to
our advantage. How about feeding our sub conscious mind with our desires, our
wishes, our goals to tune ourselves with what we want to achieve. Napoleon Hill
in his famous book Think and grow rich explains the principles of auto
suggestion in a detailed manner. He puts a word of caution, simply wishing to
get something, reach somewhere of earn lots of money does not work. Firstly you
have to make auto suggestion with absolute faith and sincere feelings - your
emotions must carry your wishes to your sub conscious. Further, whatever you
seek has to be exact, with dollars and cents, the time frame in which you want
to achieve that also has to be exact. You also have to spell out clearly what
you would give or surrender in return to the nature for receiving what you
desire.
The concept to visualizing that whatever you
desired has already been granted to you, your ability to sense and feel the
money, success of whatever you desired has to be with all your five sensory
faculties. This is the only language, a definite desire laced with deep
emotions that our subconscious recognizes. And acts upon or engages it to
convert it into its physical equivalent.
An important condition to make the concept of
auto suggestion work for you is to feed your sub conscious with your desired
goal repeatedly, at least twice daily. You must pen down your statement of
desire on a piece of paper and read it aloud at least twice daily. Here also a
simple teat book reading mode does not work; you must read it with feelings,
faith and above all with sincere emotions. That is the only language our sub
conscious understands.
For the benefit of readers of this post, I am
reproducing relevant excerpts from the book "Think and Grow Rich" by
Napoleon Hill. I am sure this will help you.
Quote:
"The instructions given in connection
with the six steps in the second chapter will now be summarized, and blended
with the principles covered by this chapter, as follows:
First.
Go into some quiet spot (preferably in bed at
night) where you will not be disturbed or interrupted, close your eyes, and
repeat aloud, (so you may hear your own words) the written statement of the
amount of money you intend to accumulate, the time limit for its accumulation,
and a description of the service or merchandise you intend to give in return
for the money. As you carry out these instructions, SEE YOURSELF ALREADY IN
POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
For example:--Suppose that you intend to
accumulate $50,000 by the first of January, five years hence, that you intend
to give personal services in return for the money, in the capacity of a
salesman. Your written statement of your purpose should be similar to the
following:
"By the first day of January, 19.., I
will have in my possession $50,000, which will come to me in various amounts
from time to time during the interim.
"In return for this money I will give the
most efficient service of which I am capable, rendering the fullest possible
quantity, and the best possible quality of service in the capacity of salesman
of... (describe the service or merchandise you intend to sell).
"I believe that I will have this money in
my possession. My faith is so strong that I can now see this money before my
eyes. I can touch it with my hands. It is now awaiting transfer to me at the
time, and in the proportion that I deliver the service I intend to render in
return for it. I am awaiting a plan by which to accumulate this money, and I
will follow that plan, when it is received."
Second.
Repeat this program night and morning until you can see, (in your imagination)
the money you intend to accumulate.
Third.
Place a written copy of your statement where you can see it night and morning,
and read it just before retiring, and upon arising until it has been memorized.
Remember, as you carry out these instructions,
that you are applying the principle of auto-suggestion, for the purpose of
giving orders to your subconscious mind. Remember, also, that your subconscious
mind will act ONLY upon instructions which are emotionalized, and handed over
to it with "feeling." FAITH is the strongest, and most productive of
the emotions. Follow the instructions given in the chapter on FAITH.
These instructions may, at first, seem
abstract.
Do not let this disturb you. Follow the
instructions,"

As for me, I am following Napoleon Hill to the
point and am eagerly looking forward to a very bright and memorable future in
life!
To you success!
