Nine months later, <a href="http://wflewelling.com/2010/06/28/the-fall-of-a-leader/" target="_blank">my mentor Michael Dlouhy</a> did a training call on &#8220;BEING ALL IN&#8221;. That day I decided to BE ALL IN and write a lesson plan for every chapter from that day forth. And I have never missed. That is a LOT of lesson plans!</p>
<p>You would think, after all that practice, it would be easy for me to write a lesson plan now. Right? Nope. I think too much and try too hard and procrastinate and finally, when it&#8217;s almost down to the wire, I have that flash of inspiration and write down what was really there all the time and would have shown itself had I not been trying too hard!<span id="more-2902"></span></p>
<p>I dug deeper than ever before this last time through the book, and learned a ton about myself and what has been holding me back. It should be clear sailing now, and yet it isn&#8217;t. I still feel as if something is there, holding me back.</p>
<p><strong>BUT I CAN&#8217;T KEEP LIVING THAT WAY!</strong></p>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<p>There is a time for digging, and a time when a person is digging just for the sake of digging, out of habit. In other words, OVER analyzing and OVER thinking. </p>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<p>The time for digging is past. The time for ACTION is upon me. In other words, I&#8217;m taking that commitment to BE ALL IN to the next level. The lessons I learned in the past few months are enough to last me a lifetime, when diligently applied.</p>
<p>Take Action. THAT will be my focus in the next few months, during this round through the book.</p>

<h4></h4>
<h4>Chapter 15: The Six Ghosts of Fear</h4>
<p>~ written by <a href="http://margistarr.com/" target="_blank">Margi Starr</a></p>
<p>Music in a minor key starts to play and the shadows lengthen. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, I see three figures dressed in trench coats. Although barely visible in the foggy mist, their identities are unmistakable.<span id="more-2907"></span></p>
<p>These dark characters hide in the shadows like vampires. Sometimes I’m not even aware of their presence, but they are there…waiting to steal my thoughts and suck my blood. They look for advantageous moments when my thoughts spiral into negativity.</p>
<p>Their names are Indecision, Doubt, and Fear.</p>
<p>They clearly are the enemies of my soul, attempting to steal my birthright.</p>
<p>These three are mere Cowards, preying on my emotions. They try to convince me that I am undeserving of a better life. Their voices trick me into sometimes believing them.</p>
<p>When I’m lazy and let down my guard, Indecision, Doubt, and Fear creep subtly into my mind, unleashing six basic fears: Poverty, Criticism, Ill Health, Loss of love, Old Age, and Death.</p>
<p>Each one of Fears is birthed in my mind. Within minutes I actually have a physical reaction to the chemicals being released in my brain. Nausea, dry heaves, and cold sweats become debilitating. There have been times when my bed has become my sanctuary as I’ve tried to hide from Fear.</p>
<p>Ever since beginning this amazing journey of Personal Growth, I’ve been learning the weapons of warfare against them.</p>
<p>Just as my innermost Thoughts can allow these dark enemies into my life and prevent my attainment of wealth, my Thoughts can also LOCK them out.</p>
<p>The secret for me is to daily surrender to God’s presence in my life. This means that I speak words of Power and Love into MY own life. The vibrational energy that is created from these Positive Thoughts eventually wrecks havoc with the negative thoughts. The negative forces are losing their grip in my life.</p>
<p>Love is after all, the most Positive force in the entire universe. Because I am God’s Child, I have the right to live out my purpose with joy and abandonment.</p>
<p>The Light in my life is turned ON. The shadows are lifted. The mysterious figures in trench coats are leaving me alone.</p>
<p>I am free because I have learned to guard my mind.</p>
<p>Thank you, Michael and Linda, for being such powerful role models as to the power of “Think and Grow Rich.”</p>
<p>Thoughts are Indeed Things,<br />
<a href="http://margistarr.com/" target="_blank">Margi Starr</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>Napoleon Hill calls them the GHOSTS of Fear. More recently someone coined the term, False Evidence Appearing Real. Either way, we have a choice: Live life governed by our fears, or recognize them as mere ghosts which only appear to be real.</em></strong></p>

<p>Unemployment is rampant in the valleys of south Wales. With so little opportunity for productive work, teenage boys have a lot of time on their hands. Social problems abound. What is there to do but hang around on street corners and get into trouble? Alcohol and drugs compound the problems, and often lead to illness and early death.</p>
<p>What can be done about this?<span id="more-2894"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.onlyboysaloud.com/">Only Boys Aloud</a> is a choir of 133 of those boys. They have been singing for two years. Their leaders inspire them not only to sing, but to do something positive with their lives, and instill them with the belief that they can do ANYTHING they set their minds to. </p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AARrVAHnkdY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>What an amazing testimony to what can be done when someone sees beyond the circumstances and the exterior, to the tremendous potential that lies beneath the surface. These boys have been given a priceless life lesson that they will not soon forget. They KNOW they can do whatever they believe they can, if they are willing to follow their dreams, set clear goals, and work persistently toward them. </p>
<p>Maybe they didn&#8217;t quite make the #1 spot in Britain&#8217;s Got Talent. But that doesn&#8217;t change the fact that THEY ARE WINNERS!</p>
<p>The boys are singing this song in their mother tongue. Here is the English translation. No wonder they sing with such passion and joy!  </p>
<p><em><strong>Calon Lan Translation:</strong></p>
<p>I do not ask a life that’s easy,<br />
Gold and pearls so little mean.<br />
Rather seek a heart that’s joyful,<br />
Heart that’s honest, heart that’s clean.</p>
<p>Heart that’s clean and filled with virtue,<br />
Fairer than the lilies white.<br />
Only pure hearts can praise God truly;<br />
A pure heart.</p>
<p>Dawn and sunset I’m still searching,<br />
Rising on a wing of song.<br />
Give me Lord, through Christ my Saviour<br />
That clean heart for which I long.</p>
<p>Heart that’s clean and filled with virtue,<br />
Fairer than the lilies white.<br />
Only pure hearts can praise God truly;<br />
Praise Him all the day and night.<br />
A pure heart!</em></p>

But attend to the good in something, and we act towards the best in everything.&#8221; ~ Ann Voskamp</em></strong></p>
<p>My mind is often a battleground between the need for organization and simplicity, and an abhorrence and avoidance of the same.</p>
<p>For example, I need a carefully planned and clearly defined schedule. And I have one, because I&#8217;m great at figuring out what I need, and making a great plan for putting it into action. But<span id="more-2881"></span> a schedule makes me feel trapped and hemmed in, and I find all sorts of creative ways to weasel out of it. And I don&#8217;t even realize I&#8217;m doing it, till it&#8217;s too late for yet another day!</p>
<p>A question I often ask myself is, &#8220;Where is my FOCUS?&#8221;</p>
<p>Is my FOCUS on the frustration of another chaotic day? Or is it on what I HAVE accomplished? For you see, in the midst of all the so-called chaos, is often a nice little bundle of Things I Did. But I only see them when I focus on the GOOD instead of the worst.</p>
<p>For myself, it works better to make a ROUTINE instead of a SCHEDULE.</p>
<p><strong>ROUTINE</strong><br />
~ a list of just a few things I will do each day, done in the order written, as I can.</p>
<p><strong>SCHEDULE</strong><br />
~ a longer, more detailed list of things to do, with a definite time frame.</p>
<p>I know those are probably not proper definitions, but hey, it works for me! Now I would like to know what works for YOU? Do share in the comments below! Who knows? Someone else could be struggling, and YOUR idea may be just the key that person needs.</p>

We all have them. Bad experiences. Baggage. Skeletons in our closet through no fault of our own. But what do we do with them? Bury them in the hope they will never resurface? Bash them down in the hope that they will go away? Expect the person who harmed us to make it right before we move on??</p>
<p>The following story comes from a <a href="http://www.impactministries.com/store/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=1377" target="_blank">book by Dr. James B. Richards</a></p>
<p><span id="more-2866"></span></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>The Man and the Seagull</h3>
<p>I once read an amusing story about a man walking down the beach. A seagull flew over and “pooped” on his nose. He became so angry at the seagull. He reasoned within himself, “That seagull did this to me and he&#8217;s going to have to come back and get this off of me!” When he returns to his group of friends they are all repulsed. “What is that smell. Stay away from me!” they all shouted. Then they ran away from him. He became even more angry at the seagull, “Look what you&#8217;ve done to me,” the man cried. “You come back right now and get this off of me.” When he goes home that night he wants to be intimate with his wife. She immediately kicks him out of bed and demands that he go wash his face. He lies on the couch lonely and rejected, contemplating how the seagull was ruining his life. His friends had run away from him, his wife had rejected him and he didn&#8217;t do anything. All he could think was, “It&#8217;s not my fault!”</p>
<p>When he goes to work the next day, people quickly go to the other side of the room to avoid him. The odor has become unbearable. The man had stopped bathing, because if he bathed he might remove the poop from his nose, then the seagull would have gotten by with his unfair treatment. Finally, his boss called him in and said, “None of the clients want to do business with you. None of the coworkers can stand to be in the same room with you. Either you wash that poop off of your nose or you’re fired.” The man’s response was, “How unfair can you get? Why are you all persecuting me? I didn&#8217;t do anything. I didn&#8217;t put this on my nose, I shouldn&#8217;t be the one to have to wash it off.”</p>
<p>So now he sits alone under an overpass, victimized by the world. And everyday he looks out at the sky, because he knows who is to blame. And one day that rotten seagull will have to come and clean up his nose.</p>
<p><em>Adapted from a story in Foundations of Intercession, Wes<br />
Daughenbaugh, Gospel Net Ministries, Omaha, NE</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The lesson in this story is both simple and powerful&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><em>Regardless of what has been done to me, it is MY choice what I do with it. Victim or Victor? The choice is mine!</em></strong></p>

<p>The truth is, the first half of the month of May is a special time in my family. May 10th is my birthday, and May 13th is my mother&#8217;s birthday. Since May 10, 1953 was Mother&#8217;s Day and I am the eldest in my family, I&#8217;ve always liked to say&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;I made my mother a mother on Mother&#8217;s Day, three days before my mother&#8217;s birthday!&#8221; </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a mouthful, and it&#8217;s fun to watch the expressions on people&#8217;s faces when I say it!</p>
<p>This picture doesn&#8217;t go back quite far enough to mirror the events of this day 59 years ago. But it&#8217;s close. I was only a couple of months old.<span id="more-2832"></span></p>
<p>This year, it is my mother whose birthday falls on Mother&#8217;s Day. And it isn&#8217;t just any birthday. It&#8217;s a rather special milestone&#8230; her 80th birthday. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t get to see my mother very often&#8230; only once in the past 14 years. She lives near Toronto Ontario, and I live near Edmonton Alberta. Both in Canada, but over 2000 miles apart. Since all four of my siblings also live in the Toronto area, I am very grateful for Facebook and Skype as a way of keeping in touch with everyone. </p>
<p><a href="http://wflewelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Mom-with-Jaiyana.jpg"><img src="http://wflewelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Mom-with-Jaiyana-264x300.jpg" alt="" title="Mom with Jaiyana" width="264" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2833" /></a></p>
<p>We moved around a lot when I was growing up&#8230; once every school year for about ten years. Always in the same town, but it meant switching back and forth between schools. I spent time in three different elementary schools before finally joining everyone in the high school. I was only 7 when my father died. I grew up feeling as if I didn&#8217;t have any roots. It wasn&#8217;t till I was a young adult that I realized that my home town WAS my home&#8230; my roots. My grandmother was born there and lived her entire 88 years there. My father grew up there and returned after the war. My mother has lived there since she was 15. It was a small town of 3000 when I was born, and still only 15,000 when I was grown. My mom and some of my siblings STILL live there today. I have lived in Alberta since 1978, but I will always think of that town in southern Ontario as my home. </p>
<p>This is a picture of my mom, 3 years ago, holding her youngest granddaughter, Jaiyana Elabd. </p>

I can sit here with my computer on, and others talking in the room&#8211;and hear the distant rattling warble of the sandhill cranes, or the trill of a single songbird outside my kitchen window.</p>
<p><strong>SANDHILL CRANES</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been hearing the cranes for the past week, but only on Monday did I see them en masse. THOUSANDS of them! For a whole hour, the afternoon sky was alive with swirling masses of sandhill cranes on their noisy and leisurely way northwest. Hundreds upon hundreds of V&#8217;s, all different sizes, but all flying as if in unison.</p>
<p>This video is not mine&#8230; it was taken by someone in Nebraska&#8230; but this is what I saw and heard here in northern Alberta on Monday afternoon.<span id="more-2825"></span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yap61H9mOOQ" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe></p>
<p>Every bird in that enormous flock is in tune and complete harmony with every other bird. Each one has its own role, its place in the amazing choreography. Individual birds don&#8217;t randomly decide to go off and do their own thing. Each bird is focused on the way ahead.</p>
<p>Every winter we see flocks of snow buntings at the edges of the fields, or even on the road itself. They wait until the car is almost upon them, before they rise in a cloud, flying every which way. It takes them about one second to get in sync, swooping and swirling as one. Even when it looks like chaos, they are in rhythm and harmony with the whole flock. Instinct and intuition intertwined.</p>
<p>Again, this video is not mine, but this is what we see often during the winter.</p>
<p><strong>SNOW BUNTINGS</strong></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oGefMjk2l18" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe></p>
<p>Every mammal mother knows how to nurse her young. She doesn&#8217;t have to observe or be taught&#8230; she just knows. Only human mothers have to be taught.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Even as a brand new mom, I knew the answer. The instinct was there all along, but it was buried under a huge pile of stuff and baggage from my childhood, and the culture of the day. I needed help for even for such simple things as the correct way to hold the baby while nursing.</p>
<p>The sixth sense&#8230; intuition&#8230; creative imagination&#8230; medium of contact between the finite man of man and the infinite mind of God&#8230; mixture of the mental and the spiritual.</p>
<p>Napoleon Hill says that next to being truly great is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as possible. In network marketing today we have many truly great leaders. Let us set our sights on the loftiest goals possible, and cultivate the belief we need to achieve them! Let us fall into step with our leaders. Catch their vision, and do what they are doing!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not allow our negative programming and our society muddle the messages that our sixth sense is bringing our way. Let&#8217;s be like the sandhill cranes and the little snowbirds and position ourselves so that we will know exactly where we&#8217;re going, and then we will reach our goals with confidence.</p>

<p>Since this is a special day in my family history, I would like to share a little of my family. </p>
<p>130 years ago today, my Granny Cummins was born. Mary Ann King, known to everyone as Polly&#8230; or Granny, even to those who were not related to her. She was 71 when I was born, and it&#8217;s only a couple of years ago my brother <a href="http://www.blogto.com/people/2012/01/toronto_through_the_lens_of_patrick_cummins/">Patrick Cummins</a> sent me some photos of her in her younger years.<span id="more-2807"></span> </p>
<p>This picture was taken around September of 1923, when my father had just turned two. He is sitting on his father&#8217;s lap. Granny is holding my aunt Mary. Standing between his parents is my uncle John, and to Granny&#8217;s left is my uncle Bill. Aunt Eleanor wasn&#8217;t born till four or five years later. </p>
<p>Aunt Mary, the baby in the picture, is the only one of the five children still living today. Granny was 41 in this picture, and Granddad was 42. For most of my life, the only picture I had of my grandparents was when they were already elderly&#8230; so what a treasure this is for me!! </p>
<p>One day I was looking through family photos and realized what a strong resemblance there is in my family, from generation to generation&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://wflewelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/5-Gs1.jpg"><img src="http://wflewelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/5-Gs1.jpg" alt="" title="5 Gs" width="991" height="229" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2814" /></a></p>
<p>L to R: Granny&#8217;s mother, Granny, my father, me, my daughter Vicki</p>
<p>I&#8217;m guessing Granny looked like her father, but I don&#8217;t know for sure because I don&#8217;t have a picture of him. But I love the resemblance from one to the next in the other four pictures. And I REALLY wish I could have known my great-grandmother, because from the mischievous look on her face, I bet she was fun to know! </p>
<p>Our family has the distinction of very long generations. My Granddad Cummins was born in March 1881, and my son Nathaniel was born in 1999. 118 years between them! And my children are following suit, because I am turning 59 in a week, and I am not a grandmother yet!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://wflewelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/brain_computing_a2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2795" title="cloud computing A8" src="http://wflewelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/brain_computing_a2-300x279.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="279" /></a>During our <a href="http://wflewelling.com/mental-cleanse-3/" target="_blank">mental cleanse calls</a> this past Wednesday, we were reminded several times that what we put out there comes back to us in some form. In other words, we attract it. And at the same time, it struck me that the converse is also true. What comes IN is what goes OUT. It&#8217;s a two-way street, or a continuous cycle, if you like. What do I allow into my mind?</p>
<p>If I don&#8217;t like what is coming my way, not only am I attracting it by what I speak or think, but also I&#8217;m thinking that way because of what I have allowed into my mind in the first place. Which is why we have the mental cleanse, and our self talk.</p>
<p>So, to continue the concept of the brain as a receiving station&#8230;<span id="more-2793"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about ways that things get printed indelibly on our brains, never to be forgotten. I don&#8217;t mean life events that no one could ever forget, like our wedding day or the birth of a child or the death of a loved one. I mean things that could have a far greater effect on us if only we had a way of keeping them in our minds and making them part of the fabric of our lives.</p>
<p>Some examples&#8230;</p>
<p>Tonight I heard a man tell a story of an emotionally and spiritually significant even in his past. Michael commented later that the man would likely be able to tell you that same story a year from now, word for word the same as he did tonight. Why? Because, like any Green personality, he has taken a significant event and gone over and over the story in his mind, and done everything he can to make it easier to tell the story to others. He has kept the experience alive and very much in focus by repitition and reinforcement.</p>
<p>For many years I kept a journal, handwritten on lined paper in 3-ring binders. 20 binders full, covering 28 years of my life. That&#8217;s a LOT of writing! Ian will tell you that when I tell a story from my journal, I repeat it almost word for word as it was written&#8230; probably because it was written by hand in the first place. <a href="http://30daymentalcleanse.info/index.php/topic,6834.0.html" target="_blank">Ken Klemm</a> tells us that what is handwritten has far more meaning and is integrated much more quickly than what is typed.</p>
<p>Something I have had trouble with for years is falling asleep in church, or at any kind of meeting, or even while watching a movie. I don&#8217;t have this problem if I am doing something with my hands at the same time, such as crocheting. I don&#8217;t crochet in church, but I discovered another trick a few years ago. Taking notes the traditional way doesn&#8217;t do it for me, but taking notes in mind mapping format does. Connecting words with curved arrows, little sketches and doodles, words circled or in other shapes&#8230; I never doze while doing this!!</p>
<p>The more ways we can engage our brains, the better integration there is between left brain and right brain, and other parts of the brain. Thus the more well established learning becomes.</p>

It&#8217;s a short movie, only 11 minutes, but it&#8217;s power packed with truth. </p>
<p>What do you see when you look in your mirror? Do you see all your mistakes, weaknesses and regrets? Or do you see the strong, powerful leader you are, and who you are growing into? You will act in accordance with who you see. </p>
<p>You ARE a leader, with tremendous potential for more. Learn to see that leader, and your actions will follow suit.<span id="more-2776"></span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4o_FtENZGeA" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe></p>
<p>Napoleon Hill saw his society as being on the threshold of something great and powerful. He didn&#8217;t know there was another world war just around the corner. Would he have written with the same optimism if he had known? I believe he would have. I also wonder if there would have been a WWII if more people had taken to heart his teachings. It isn&#8217;t enough, even for us today, just to read the book and set it aside. Each one of us must catch the vision for ourselves. Each of us individually must internalize what we are learning, and weave it into the very fabric of our lives. We can&#8217;t be sitting on the fence with one foot on each side. We need to decide what it is we want, and get rid of everything that stands in the way of our moving forward.</p>
<p>Telepathy, or the sixth sense, is not some ethereal, abstract gift given to only a select few. We can stimulate our own minds so that the sixth sense described in the next chapter can be made to function in a practical way. And in THIS chapter he tells us how. Reprogram your subconscious mind and cultivate your creative imagination by formulating a good, positive self talk and saying it hundreds of times a day.</p>
<p>Mr. Hill speaks of his close working alliance between himself and two members of his staff. By meeting with them, he opened up his mind to new ideas and strategies. It was a practical application of concept of mastermind group. We have the same thing today with the mental cleanse. We choose to meet regularly with this group of likeminded people who give us all kinds of ideas that weren&#8217;t already there, which help us as we build our businesses.</p>
<p>Choosing a good mastermind group is all part of reprogramming your own mind rather than allowing others around you to continue to do it for you. It is a huge part of learning to see that strong, powerful leader when you look into your mirror.</p>

She would smile and and answer in an easy manner, in as few words as possible. I thought she was painfully shy. Her mother said no, she is very comfortable in her own skin, and just has no need to talk.</p>
<p>Twice a year Ian and I met with our son&#8217;s teachers in junior high. Every time without fail, several of his teachers said he was too quiet and should seek to be more popular. Instead he would sit by himself at lunch time and write stories with his AlphaSmart. Was our son avoiding others in an unhealthy way? Or was he simply happy spending his spare moments at school by himself? We knew the answer, and so did he.</p>
<p>Listen to <a href="http://www.thepowerofintroverts.com/" target="_blank">Susan Cain</a> as she lays some key myths to rest.<span id="more-2730"></span></p>

<p>If you liked this video, you might also like Susan&#8217;s <a href="http://www.thepowerofintroverts.com/sixteen-things-i-believe/" target="_blank">manifesto for introverts</a>. </p>
<p>As an introvert who is married to an introvert and mother to several introverts, of course I love this video! It&#8217;s a refreshing reminder that it&#8217;s OKAY to be an introvert. In fact, it&#8217;s more than okay. It&#8217;s a blessing and a strength, when allowed to develop as it should.</p>
<p>More significant is the lesson within the lesson that Susan Cain is teaching. Whoever you are, be PROUD of who you are, and become the BEST YOU that you can be. Only then will you be truly happy, and only then will you make a difference in the world.</p>

<p>Is it possible to own your subconscious mind? Napoleon Hill tells us the answer is yes.</p>
<p>But HOW???</p>
<p>My friend David H. Paul, known to many as the <a href="http://neotrainingnetwork.com/" target="_blank">Follow Your Bliss Guy</a>, answers that question clearly and simply.</p>
<p><span id="more-2760"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><a href="http://neotrainingnetwork.com/how-to-own-your-subconscious-mind/" target="_blank">HOW TO OWN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND</a></h2>
<h4>What Happens When the Subconscious Mind Runs Us</h4>
<p>We can work really, really hard, putting in thousands of hours filled with effort in growing our businesses. We can learn the best ways to find people to talk to online and offline. We can learn all of the best techniques and tricks the universe has to offer in building a business that will pay our children&#8217;s children. Yet 97% of us will fail miserably in network marketing. Why? Because, even though Most People have been programmed to believe that success comes to those who work the hardest, this belief is not the truth. The truth is this: Above all else you Must Own Your Thoughts in order to Own Your Life and Be the success you desire.</p>
<h4>Are You Controlled By Your Subconscious Mind?</h4>
<p>Most people go through life never questioning their beliefs and never acknowledging that their lives are controlled by their subconscious minds. We do what we do, most of the time, on complete auto-pilot. There is an old saying, &#8220;If you always to what you&#8217;ve always done, you will always get what you have always gotten.&#8221; So, why is it, then, when we &#8220;try&#8221; to do things in our lives that will help us get better result, we often do not get the results we where told would come our way? The reason is this: In order to own your thoughts and own your life, you Must convince you subconscious mind to believe that what you want Is what&#8217;s best for you. In other words, you must dominate a life&#8217;s worth of programming that is hard wired into your subconscious mind. Sound like a tall order? You Are Right. It Is a tall order. The good news is that although reprogramming your subconscious mind takes patience, persistence and 100% &#8220;All In&#8221; commitment, the process is really simple. Here are the steps:</p>
<h4>Three Steps to Own Your Subconscious Mind</h4>
<p>1. Fully participate in 30 Day Mental Cleanse Mastermind. Be 100% Teachable and Coachable by following the instructions to the letter.<br />
2. Focus 99.9% of your time and effort on finding a Self-Talk, what you want to believe, that makes you feel So Good that your heart just might burst wide open.<br />
3. Say that Self-Talk Out Load 300-400 times per day, Every Day, for all long as it takes for your Subconscious Mind to believe it as Truth.</p>
<p>Follow these steps for the next year, and I guarantee that you will Be More and Have More than you have ever had in your life and business.</p>
<p>To you Peace and Prosperity,</p>
