Think and Grow Rich , Chapter 2 – Faith
In chapter 2, Faith was mentioned by Mr. Hill as the following: Faith is convincing the subconscious mind that you believe you will receive that for which you ask. It can be developed by repetition of auto suggestion, aka affirmation. Any repeatedly passed suggestions to our mind eventually will become our dominated thoughts.
And the impulse of thoughts will transmute into physical equivalent eventually. The time of process may be determined by the intensity of emotion we add on to our thoughts. The stronger the intensity, the quicker our thoughts will become reality.
However, be careful, the process does not have filters. It will work the same as we have negative thoughts and we generate negative reality. Have you ever met someone who believes that they are cursed, and only bad things ever happen to them?. If you check their case, they tend to have bad luck most of the time. This is all due to the thoughts that they project in their own mind. If we repeat the thoughts we have to ourselves all day, it will materialize.
Therefore in the previous chapter, Mr. Hill gave us the 6 step of success. And the last step requires us to repeat our intension and plans twice a day. This is suggesting to our mind about the new thoughts, the new person and how much money we desire.
The biggest obstacle to achieve faith is to deal with the lack of self-confidence. In the chapter, the self-confidence formula is a review to us. There are 5 steps, and it is the summary for the whole chapter.
After I read this chapter I found I could relate to the concept of auto suggestion and change my mind by repetition. These happen to us every day when we turn on our TV, listen to radio and surfing the internet. The ads message repeats itself over and over again and they try to take a place in our subconscious mind, make us have faith in the product, and once our thoughts accept the message, it is impossible to stop. Thoughts must become things, and we’ll pull out our credit card to make the purchase. It is a very effective method.,how do I know? It is very expensive to place a commercial on TV, and there many merchants that keep doing this. Why? Because it works.
Since we know the power of affirmation, we should use this to our advantage. Use this tool to create a better future for ourselves, develop faith each day towards our goals and build our self confidence. If we do not exercise this skill, other people will, and our benefits won’t be very high on their list. Act today and take the challenge, follow the 6 steps in the previous cheaper. Do the instructions every day until your faith becomes your dominate thoughts and your thoughts will become a reality.
