Making Your First Million
successful people use them whether they're aware of them or not because life's star chart
is never constantly up. To overcome the downs we need to have enough ongoing forward
momentum to bring us back up. Fear and self-doubt are the friction of entropy that drag
us down. Positive mental attitude is the jet thrust of synergy that lifts us to the
stratosphere.
It's not all hot air. There is substance to self-talk. There is truth to it. You can do it. You
are not a failure. Your past actions may have failed to produce the desired outcomes but
you now have one more arrow in your armory. That didn't work. I know not to do that
again. But we can become habituated to failure and come to expect it. And of course we
get what we expect. The brain, at the autonomic level, is a very simple servant. It sifts
through the chaff to the dominant thought or emotion, and wishing to please its master, it
obliges by clearing a path so the dominant thought can be realized.
Now, you may have been laboring all your life under the delusion of free will and selfcontrol.
Sadly, I now need to disabuse you of your misapprehension. You are not in
control. Your subconscious is. Your autonomic system, the subconscious, allows you to
have these delusions of grandeur because it knows you're a sensitive soul and may well
sulk outrageously if the sweets are taken from you. It's rather like the relationship
between Sir Humphrey and Jim Hacker in "Yes, Minister". Jim thinks he's in control,
Humphrey knows he is. Try this: Go to the pool and make the conscious decision that
you're going to topple stiffly off the diving board with your hands by your side. You
know intellectually that you won't be hurt (much). You've steeled yourself for the fall.
You've told your hands to stay put. You close your eyes and allow your body to fall.
What do your hands do? They have a mind of their own. You see, the autonomic system
takes over and says "What are you doing you fool? I'm going to have to take charge here
to stop you killing us both." It will take a great deal of practice to override the
subconscious but only after the conscious mind has satisfied itself, and more importantly,
the subconscious, through trial and error that the body which houses them both really
won't suffer damage.
We can use our autonomic system to advantage. By planning for success, preparing,
practicing, rehearsing we condition our subconscious mind to start working on our behalf.
Achieving our goals becomes the dominant thought and emotion and creates a furrow in
the mind for all future actions to travel down, rather like playing golf on a sand green. If
you scrape a furrow the ball has to go in the hole. If you condition your subconscious to
only visualize success and refuse to accept failure as anything other than a pop-up
signpost telling you where not to go next time, you have enlisted the aid of your most
powerful ally and you have no other choice but to reach your goal. Your subconscious
will not permit any other outcome. The catch-cry of the subconscious is "There is nothing
so powerful as an idea whose time has come." Or to quote Alice: "Nothing is so lest
thinking makes it so."
