Do not "Tell" the world what you can do "Show" it!



It is most appalling to know that 95% of the people of the world are drifting aimlessly through life, without the slightest concept of the work for which they are best fitted and with no concept whatsoever of even the need for such a thing as a definite objective toward which to strive.

No position in life can be secure, and no achievement can be permanent unless built upon truth and justice.

Any definite chief aim that is deliberately fixed in the mind and held there, with the firm determination to realize it, finally saturates the entire subconscious mind until it automatically influences the physical action of the body toward the attainment of that purpose.

Your definite chief aim in life should be selected with the deliberate care, and after it has been selected it should be written out and placed where you will see it at least once a day.

The psychological effect of this is to impress this purpose upon your subconscious mind so strongly that it accepts the purpose as a pattern or blueprint that will eventually dominate your activities in life and lead you, step by step, toward the attainment of the object behind that purpose.

The principle of psychology through which you can impress your definite chief aim on your subconscious mind is autosuggestion, or suggestion that you repeatedly make to yourself. It is a degree of self hypnotism, but do not be afraid of it, for it was through the aid of this same principle that napoleon lifted himself from the lowly station of poverty to the dictatorship of France.

Auto Suggestion

you need have no fear of the principle of autosuggestion as long as you are sure that the objective for which you are striving is on that will bring you happiness of an enduring nature. Be sure that your definite purpose is constructive; that its attainment will bring hardship and misery to no one; that it will bring you peace and prosperity. Then apply, to the limit of your understanding, the principle of self suggestion for the speedy attainment of this purpose.

The subconscious mind may be likened to a magnet, when it has been vitalized and thoroughly saturated with any definite purpose, it has a decided tendency to attract all that is necessary for the fulfillment of that purpose.

Like attracts like, and you may see evidence of this law in every blade of grass and every growing tree. The acorn attracts from the soil and the air the necessary materials out of which to grow an oak tree. It never grows a tree that is part oak and part poplar.

Every grain of wheat that is planted in the soil attracts the materials out of which to grow a stalk of wheat. It never makes mistakes and grows both oats and wheat on the same stalk.

People, too , are subject to this same law of attraction. Go into any cheap boarding house district in any city there you will find people of the same general trend of mind associated together. Or go into any prosperous community and there you will also find people of the same general tendencies associated together. Those who are successful always seek the company of others who are successful, those who are on the ragged side of life always seek the company of those who are in similar circumstances. "Misery loves Company."

Water seeks its level with no finer certainty than we all seek the company of those who can occupy our own general status financially and mentally.

Oil and water will mix about as readily as will people who have nothing in common.

You will attract to you people who harmonize with your own philosophy of life, whether you wish it or not.

This being true, can you not see now the importance of vitalizing your mind with a definite chief aim that will attract to you the people who will be of help to you and not a hindrance? Suppose your definite chief aim is far above your present station in life. What of it? It is your privilege -in fact it is your duty - to aim  high in life you owe it to yourself, and to the community of which you live, to set a high standard for yourself.

There is much evidence to justify the belief that nothing, within reason, is beyond the possibility of attainment by the person whose definite chief aim has been well developed.

 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage. They employ other people to work for them and their money to work for them. You do have to work hard for money. For rich people, however, this is a temporary situation. For poor people, it's permanent.. Rich people understand that "you" have to work hard until your "money" works hard enough to take your place they understand  the more your money works, the less you will have to work. To win the money game, the goal is to earn enough passive income to pay for your desired lifestyle. In short, you become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses. Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications.
