Personality Development

When I want to think of things more pleasant, I close the cupboards of my mind revealing the more unpleasant things of life, and open up the cupboards containing the more pleasant thoughts. they do not see the trials and failures and struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience; have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable and realise the vision of their heart. They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it “luck”; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it “good fortune”; do not understand the process, but only perceive the results and call it “chance They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it “luck”; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it “good fortune”; do not understand the process, but only perceive the results and call it “chance”

Within your subconscious depths lie infinite wisdom, infinite power, an infinite supply of all that is necessary. The infinite intelligence in your subconscious can give you access to wonderful new kinds of knowledge. When your mind thinks correctly, when the thoughts deposited in your subconscious mind are constructive, harmonious and peaceful, the magic working power of your subconscious mind will respond. Those conscious thoughts form the matrix through which the infinite intelligence, wisdom, vital forces and energies of your subconscious flow.

This truth was demonstrated quite effectively by a man who was condemned to death. When asked how it felt to know that he was to die in another half hour he replied,” Well, it does not bother me in the least. I made up my mind that I had to go sometime, and it might as well be now as a few years later, because my life has been a constant source of trouble anyway. The man was actually relieved to know that the responsibilities of life to which he had been subjected, and which had brought him to such an ignoble ending, were about to cease.

I always use visualization technique before I speak to an audience. I quiet the wheels of my mind so that I present to the subconscious mind my images of thought. Repeating an affirmation, knowing what you are saying and why you are saying it, leads the mind to that state of consciousness where it accepts that which you state as true (positive desire). In this state the negative thoughts, which tend to neutralize your desire and so prevent the acceptance by subconscious mind, are no longer present.
