About this episode
Welcome back to Episode 789 of the Daily Mastermind This week we are talking about Changing Your Reality ...and Creating the Life You Were Meant to Live Think and Grow Rich is the Ultimate Guide to taking control of your life and crafting a plan. Proven Success...Clues and Strategies to make it all happen. 13 Chapters/Sections...leading you to a great plan, results and execution. Today i want to talk about the first 3 sections...but you should read and go deep. 1. DESIRE This is the starting point to success and is perhaps the most important principle. Desire is a reflection of what you want (what you desire) as much as a verb or fuel you use to get it. If you desire it...you an achieve it. You wouldn't have the desire if it wasn't possible. But how to create a "burning desire"...it's all about the approach...How you do anything is how you do everything... Are you "all in"...are you hedging, wondering, testing...etc. In this chapter Napoleon Hill explains the 6 Steps to achieving your desire. (money example) 1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you want to have in your possession. 2. Decide what you are prepared to give in return (perhaps a service you will provide). 3. Select a definite date by which you will have acquired this money. 4. Prepare a definite plan and begin to implement it immediately. 5. Based on the first 4 steps write down a clear statement of the amount of money you will acquire, the time limit for its acquisition, what you will give in return and your plan for accumulating it. 6. Read your written statement aloud just before going to bed and once again first thing in the morning. As you read see yourself already in possession of the money. Difference between Desire and Want. 2. FAITH Faith is a key element to accomplishing what you desire. Also remember that faith is a decision to believe you can attain your desire...different from belief. Napoleon Hill says faith is a state of mind that can be induced by affirmations or repeated instructions to the sub-conscious mind (see principle 3). Another method that can provide the faith required is to create a mental image of achieving your desire over and over again. This chapter is filled with examples of how some great leaders in history accomplished the impossible through faith. Quote- “In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith” Friedrich Schlegel Remember...when you apply faith to a desire you have, you will begin to manifest or "create' that which you desire. It stems from what is deep inside you and also is created by talents you inately posses. But, all great things will require some form of faith, so take time to cultivate your faith. 3. AUTO-SUGGESTION This is the way you can put the sub-conscious mind to work for you through repeated suggestion. (affirmations) The idea here is that you concentrate your mind on what you desire repeatedly until you burn it into your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is ultimately what will help you to create what you truly want in your life...this is sometimes viewed as inspiration or gut feelings or intuition. The key here is that (obviously) it needs to be combined with effort and work. When you combine this principle of repetition (autosuggestion) to a written statement like we talked bout in principle #1, it forms a great daily ritual and one that will TRAIN your mind to go to work for you. NOTE; sometimes we simply don't accomplish things in life because we don't "believe" we are worthy or deserve them. I believe this is simply things we have learned over time from conditioning (brainwashing) from messages and people in our lives. Affirmations will us to program our own minds in a positive direction instead of them being programmed against our own desires.
