The third step toward riches that Napoleon Hill gives us is auto-suggestion. He says it’s the medium for influencing the subconscious mind. We all have absolute control over what thoughts and ideas reach our subconscious although most do not exercise that control. Auto-suggestion is the way we feed our subconscious mind with creative, positive thoughts or by neglect, with destructive thoughts.
Last week when we talked about desire, you were asked to read ALOUD at least twice daily your WRITTEN statement of your desire for money, and to SEE and FEEL yourself ALREADY in possession of this money. By doing this, you communicate the object of your desire to your subconscious mind in a spirit of absolute FAITH. By doing this with repetition, you create the thought habits that are favorable to your efforts.
Remember, when reading aloud your statement of desire, that you have to put emotion and feeling when reading it and you have to believe it with all your heart. Simply to read it aloud each day won’t make it happen. If we constantly recited the famous saying by Emil Coue’ “Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better,” nothing will happen unless we mix it with Emotion and Faith. Your subconscious mind will recognize and act only on those thoughts that are mixed with emotion and faith.
If you have ever attended a Millionaire Mind Institute with T. Harv Ecker, he actually teaches that you stand up do certain movements while you recite your desire statement or affirmations. This is lasting because it’s working with the physical as well as the mental realm. It takes discipline to do this, but the payoff is huge.
Have an awesome day.
