Napoleon Hill suggested that Faith is the second step in gaining riches. He goes on to say that Faith is induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instructions to the sub conscious mind, through the principle of auto-suggestion. He talks about developing Faith if you don’t already have it, and he says that you can voluntarily develop Faith through the repeated affirmations to your sub conscious mind. In other words, if you constantly keep affirming something, your subconscious mind will start to believe it. And Faith is simply Belief.
Mr. Hill says, “Faith is a state of mind that may be induced by auto-suggestion. Faith is the eternal elixir that gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!” It is a well known fact that whatever we consistently repeat to ourselves, we will start to believe. It doesn’t matter whether it is a false or true statement. if you tell yourself a lie over and over, it will eventually become truth to you. Everyone of us is who we are because of the dominating thoughts we permit to occupy our mind. That is why we should write out our ideas, plans, or purpose and review it constantly.
That is also why we need to surround ourselves with like minded people. If we are constantly being bombarded by negative influences. we will eventually become negative. That is why I don’t watch much TV or subscribe to the paper media. Most the content is negative. We need to throw off the unfortunate environment and resolve to build our own life. Anything is possible if we keep telling ourselves it is. That’s just how it works. The greatest weakness of most people is self-confidence and well talk about how you can build your self-confidence next week.
Work on developing you faith and make it a great day.
