One of the most difficult tasks is to convince a person that just because they wish something doesn’t make it so. I desired to write a book for thirty years yet in those thirty years, I never so much as wrote one page. I didn’t desire to be a writer. Why? Because I didn’t actually believe I could write.
I started listening to the negative thoughts from my Conscious Mind, telling me I was not a writer. Here’s a few reasons that could have stopped me:
1. I couldn’t spell worth a darn.
2. How could I write a book on success when I didn’t feel I was successful. I wasn’t in my mind a success.
3. My grammar is atrocious, etc., etc.
So how did I overcome these weaknesses? It was easy. The weaknesses didn’t exist. Number one, spell check on my computer worked overtime. Number two; I was a success because I never gave up. Number three, I got other people to check the grammar.
This book is a reality because I picked up a pen and started to write. My desire became my destiny. I’m sure my Subconscious Mind said, Finally, I’ve been giving you all these ideas for thirty years, what the heck were you waiting for?
Don’t waste any more of your valuable time. Start now, here, with what you have; do what your desire commands you do. Don’t try. Trying is just a whole lot of noise accomplishing nothing. Just do it. William James wrote, “Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.”
Don’t confuse true desire with wishing. Wishing is admitting to the Subconscious Mind that you want something for nothing, or that you don’t feel that you can achieve it at your present mindset. The Subconscious Mind is perfect. It will manifest your desires into reality once you believe your desires are real. Your desires then manifest into your physical reality. And then, it is so.
