Chapter 3: Lessons Learned

[CreateaBalance]

I'd love to hear your overall thoughts relating to chapter three.

Here are my thoughts and some of my favorite quotes...

1. We can all benefit from the repetition of affirmations. I'd love to start meditating using the power of affirmations.

2. NH suggests we conduct ourselves as if we are "already in possession of the material thing which you are demanding".

3. "...one may develop faith by voluntarily suggesting to the subconscious mind that one has faith."

4. "Faith is the only known antidote for failure."

5. "Your greatest weakness is self-confidence."

6. Create a detailed plan on how you will succeed. This plan should be powerful enough for others to visualize the results.

Hi Stacey,

The idea of affirmations - I'm starting to see this as a very good thing.  That which we hear, we start to believe.  So, in our own affirmations, we have the ability to set our self up for success.  And this is an easy one to implement - even if it's not as specific as you may want - just starting with something has the potential to be quite powerful.

Stacey, these are some great points you have pulled out of the chapter.  I like how you outlined this.  This is a great list to refer back to for chapter 3.

I think that this chapter on faith has been the most powerful one to me - or at least had the most impact (so far, anyway).  It's interesting to me that the affirmations have to be mixed with emotion in order for them to work.  I have heard the importance of doing affirmations for a long time, but never of the necessity of mixing emotions with them.  It makes sense though.  This idea of meditating using affirmations - that sounds like very good powerful stuff there.  I would like to hear your experience with that please as you do it.

This idea on faith and picturing and conducting myself "already in possession of the material thing which you are demanding".- I'm thinking that I can "trick" my subconscious kind of like I mentioned elsewhere in this forum by asking myself if I was was already in possession of the money or if I had already achieved my definite chief aim how would I feel?  This gets the emotions going.  I have found questions to be very powerful.

I did not remember this point from the book: "...one may develop faith by voluntarily suggesting to the subconscious mind that one has faith."  I like that.  I think that is so simple yet so powerful and it really does work.

And indeed our greatest weakness is self-confidence.  I can see how that makes so much sense.  If we truly have high self-confidence then we would naturally believe that we can achieve our dreams.
