Why
are so many people sick, depressed and broke?
Because on a subconscious level-they don’t believe they
are worthy. Their church, temple or synagogue programmed them
that they were a worm by the time they were eight years old. Their
parents got divorced when they were ten and they thought it was
their fault. Perhaps their father worked ten hours a day in a
tough manual labor job, and now they feel guilty for earning more
money than he did. And you can safely assume that they were completely
brainwashed by the media by the time they were ten years old.
If they grew up watching Mayberry, Mash, Gilligan’s Island,
The Beverly Hillbillies and dozens of other shows, they have subconscious
programming that:
- Rich
people are pompous, conniving and dishonest;
-
Poor people are the salt of the earth; and,
-
It is somehow noble, decent, and spiritual to be poor.
Now,
you may have attended a couple of self-development seminars, read
some positive books and set goals for positive outcomes. But do
you know how many thousands of hours of counter-programming you
are still receiving?
Are you really screening the books you read? Did you eliminate
the news outlets? Have you stopped watching 90% of the shows on
television? Did you eliminate all radio talk shows from your diet?
Do you excuse yourself from the conversation when it turns to
gossip, lack and negativity? Have you replaced former friends
and acquaintances in your life that were negative? Do you schedule
and restrict the time you spend with negative family members?
If you didn't’t answer yes to ALL of these questions, I
worry for the tremendous amount of lack programming you are being
exposed to on a daily basis. If you did answer yes to all of the
above, what that means is that you are likely getting ‘only’
about fifty exposures to negative programming a day!
So in either case-what are you doing to counteract this programming?
It may be much more important than you know. It is that constant
daily programming you receive that determines your mindset. And
it is your mindset that determines your eventual level of achievement
in everything you do.
Example: Suppose you get offered a chance to participate in a
business opportunity. You could approach this a number of different
ways, each one would be dependant on your mindset.
You could jump in blindly, without any research, just because
you are enamored with the idea of getting rich. You could enter
a very bad situation and lose a lot of money.
Or scenario two, you figure that any deal you find out about is
already too late. You figure the ‘insiders’ get all
the sweetheart deals and it’s probably much too good to
be true. So you passed up the chance to buy Microsoft when it
was $10 a share.
Another scenario occurs when you get offered a situation, you
have confidence in yourself, you study it thoroughly and you make
a sound decision.
There are other possible scenarios, but you get the idea. How
you will react to it is determined almost entirely by your mindset.
What you expect in life.
Some people are predisposed to think they will be wildly successful,
some figure they will get by, and others expect the worst to happen.
Your expectations will color how you view each situation you encounter,
hundreds of times a day. That in turn will color how you act in
each situation. And each one of those small, seemingly insignificant
decisions determines your future.
It’s important to remember that your mindset and the expectations
will be determined by the thoughts you give precedence to. James
Allen equated your mind to a garden.
If you leave the garden uncultivated, whatever the wind blows
in - plants, weeds or whatever is what grows there. If you consciously
plant it, and cultivate it - you keep it weeded and grow the flowers,
fruits, or vegetables you desire.
If you don’t screen out the kind of stuff I discussed earlier,
those are the weeds that blow in and choke out your prosperous,
healthy and happiness thoughts.
