Unfortunately, some people master the power of the Subconscious Mind in some area and totally ignore it in other areas of their life. Some gain great wealth only to fail miserably in relationships with their family and loved ones. Others have a great family life and are always sick. Others are healthy and strong, and never seem to make any money. Only in a small portion of their life are they leaders and the rest of their life they are part of that large majority who do not know how to control their destiny. This power of the Subconscious Mind must work in all aspects of your life before you can find Success and Happiness.
Jesus said, “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” Power used the wrong way can destroy us. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Look at dictators such as Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Castro. They are all men whose power and ideas made so many people suffer and die. This is not what we are striving for.
When you discover the center of consciousness, prosperity and achievement will fill your life and you will truly understand that this achievement was not accomplished by your Ego, the physical I; by the power of the Universal Superconscious Mind. The Universal Superconscious Mind is that part of you that is true spirit; that part of you that will never die. That is the connection you share with God. Success comes from positive thinking, which comes from spiritual courage. Spiritual courage comes when you discover the eternal father (God) that dwells within your soul. No dream is too high, no task too great, for you will see that you must go about your father’s (God’s) business. This life is not a test to see if you will go to Heaven or Hell. This life is much more. This is your chance to fulfill God’s wishes here on Earth. It is up to you to do what you feel your purpose here is all about. Success and Happiness is your destiny. It starts with Love and kindness, then, throw in some faith and your whole world will change.
Today’s Exercise: Let go of your Ego. Let go and let God.
Today’s Affirmation: I have a positive mental attitude, therefore I am a success.
Points to Ponder: Success comes from positive thinking, which comes from spiritual courage.

Insufficient Education
Insufficient education! What a crock! People who use this excuse are simply saying, “I’m afraid to try.” We are educated every day of our lives. History books are filled with the lives of people who accomplish great things with little or no formal education. I barely finished high school.
Education can sometimes get in the way of success. People are not paid for what they know, but more importantly, for what they do with what they know. The computer has elevated everyone
to the genius level. Information is just a keyboard away. Education never got in the way of a good idea. The real culprit here is not a lack of formal education, but fear. Fear is a whole other animal that we must address. Once you overcome your fear, you will be surprised at how smart you are.
Persistence will also make up for lack of education. Before I realized I was too dumb to know what I was doing, I had it done. My wife kids me a lot. She says if there are two ways to do something, I will always do the wrong way, first. Good thing VCRs are on the way out. I never did know how to program them. I have a new rule at my house about birthday and Christmas gifts given to me. Don’t give me anything that comes with an instructional manual.
Education for education sake is overrated. Give me someone with street smarts, enthusiasm, and the right attitude, and I will make the worst of ideas work. Work on your reading, writing, and arithmetic. This is the only education you need. Specialize in math. People today can’t count to two without a calculator. Read all you can get your hands on. All the education necessary is already written.
Today’s Exercise: If you are not planning on going on quiz shows in the near future, stop worrying about education.
Today’s Affirmation: I do only those things that make me successful.
Points to Ponder: Give me someone with street smarts, enthusiasm, and the right attitude, and I will make the worst of ideas work.

Self-confidence
In my opinion, self-confidence is just an expectation of a positive outcome. When you have self-confidence and expect the outcome to be positive, then you are more willing to stay in the fight until you have reached your objective. You will become more willing to do whatever it takes to prepare yourself because you believe the efforts will pay off. It’s not having confidence by itself that produces success.
Many people walk around full of confidence, but never have the expectation of a positive outcome. Work backwards. First, see the lifestyle you desire. See success first in your mind. This will then give you the self-confidence to start the project.
Self-confidence is like the game of baseball. If you want to score, you must first get to first base. You can’t score from first base so you must do whatever it takes to get to second base. There are different ways to get to second base, or at least to move to third base. Here are the ways to score from third base. A hit will bring you in; a fly ball to outfield, and an error will bring you in as well. Even walking while the bases are loaded will bring you in. A wild pitch or a pass ball will do. A catcher’s interference will do it and a ground out that does not result in the third out will do it. You see, just having the confidence, you will score. The chances increase dramatically as you put forth the effort to increase your odds of scoring. Life is the same way.
People cannot envision success because the distance from first base to home looks too far, so they really never try. Self-confidence without an expectation of a positive outcome, is just wishing and you and I both know that wishing alone will not accomplish anything. So grab a bat and see yourself scoring in the game of life. Expect to score and prepare yourself to do whatever it takes. Look at the faces of the winning team when they score the winning run. Then, look at the faces of the losing team and you decide which face is yours.
Today’s Exercise: Start seeing things from the end.
Today’s Affirmation: I am enthusiastic and confident.

Relaxation
To manage tomorrow’s stress, you must begin today. Some experts agree that techniques like learning the “Relaxation Response,” meditating and doing aerobic exercise will benefit in managing stress. A simple way is don’t get hung up on yourself.
I was in Home Depot the other day and there was a lady dressed as if she was going to a tea party. She had on tons of makeup and jewelry, and was all over the place complaining and making a fuss. She was literally making everyone in the area nervous and uncomfortable.
We met in a busy intersecting aisle. There was at least ten people standing there, and she was carrying on about how Home Depot was a lousy store and she would never shop there again. I don’t know exactly why I did it, but I looked her straight in the eye and I said, “Lady get over yourself.”
She made a funny noise and said, “Well, I never!”
I replied, “I guess you never will.” She stood there with her mouth hanging open while I got a standing ovation from the people in the aisle. The results were one frustrated loud mouth and ten happy shoppers.
Don’t get hung up on yourself. No one cares.
Today’s Exercise: Say this everyday: I am a calm, peaceful, and patient person.
Today’s Affirmation: I am a calm, peaceful and patient person.

Imagination
True imagination is a belief in the impossible? It is your launching pad for creativity. Somerset Maugham once said, “Man consists of body, mind, and imagination. His body is faulty, his mind untrustworthy, but his imagination has made him remarkable.” Think of the imagination of Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Newton, Brahms, Bach, etc. What a poorer world this would be without their imagination! Were these people extraordinary? No, they were ordinary people with extraordinary imagination.
Don’t stifle your dreams because they sound impossible or too far-fetched. Dream on. Let your imagination loose; let it trigger your creativity. There is one simple rule: Never suppress your curiosity.
Do not stifle your children’s imagination; don’t yell at them if they crayon outside the lines. Look at it as a blessing if your child daydreams a lot. Encourage your children to ask a million questions and if they have this imaginary friend that only they can see, don’t tell them the imaginary friend doesn’t exist. The world needs dreamers; your children are the Edison’s or Einstein’s of tomorrow.
If you want to accomplish something of value, see it from the end. Visualize in your mind what it will look like when it’s completed and then work backwards to see what you have to do each step of the way. When you get to the beginning, you will know exactly what you have to do to take the first step. Then take it. Don’t look for problems. Look for solutions. There are many ways to accomplish your goal. Keep trying until you find one that works. Please do not try to go it alone. Tune in your Subconscious Mind to the Universal Superconscious Mind of God. God already knows the answer and God has been giving you hints through your imagination. God does not give you a dream without the ability to accomplish the dream.
“I would rather fail attempting something great than succeed in doing nothing at all.” I probably said this several times in these messages and it bears repeating. From Think and Grow Rich, “Whatsoever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
Today’s Exercise: Take a half of an hour, find a quiet place and let your imagination out of its cell.
Today’s Affirmation: The kingdom of God is within me.
