Wealth is simply a
subconscious conviction on the part of the individual. You will not become a
millionaire by saying, “I
am a millionaire, I am a millionaire.” You will grow into a
wealth consciousness by building into your mentality the idea of wealth and
abundance.
The
trouble with most people is that they have no invisible means of support. When
business falls away, the stock market drops, or they lose their investments,
they seem helpless. The reason for such insecurity is that they do not know how
to tap the subconscious mind. They are unacquainted with the inexhaustible
storehouse within.
A
man with a poverty type mind finds himself in poverty- stricken conditions.
Another man with a mind filled with ideas of wealth is surrounded with
everything he needs. It was never intended that man should lead a life of
indigence. You can have wealth, everything you need, and plenty to spare.
Your words have power to cleanse your mind of wrong ideas and to instill right
ideas in their place.
The ideal method for building a wealth consciousness
Perhaps
you are saying as you read this chapter, “I need wealth and success.” This is
what you do: Repeat for about five minutes to yourself three or four times a
day,”Wealth
Success.” These words have tremendous power. They represent the
inner power of the subconscious mind. Anchor your mind on this substantial
power within you; then conditions and circumstances corresponding to their
nature and quality will be manifested in your life.
You
are not saying, “I am wealthy,” you are dwelling on real powers within
you. There is no conflict in the mind when you say, “Wealth. Furthermore,
the feeling of wealth will well up within you as you dwell on the idea of
wealth.
The
feeling of wealth produces wealth; keep
this in mind at all times. Your subconscious mind is like a bank, a sort of
universal financial institution. It magnifies whatever you deposit or impress
upon it whether it is the idea of wealth or of poverty. Choose wealth.
Why your affirmations for wealth fail
I have
talked to many people during the past thirty-five years whose usual complaint
is, “I have said for weeks and months, I am wealthy, I am prosperous,’ and
nothing has happened.” I discovered that when they said, “I am prosperous, I am
wealthy,” they felt within that they were lying to themselves.
One
man told me, “I have affirmed that I am prosperous until I am tired. Things are
now worse. I knew when I made the statement that it was obviously not true.”
His statements were rejected by the conscious mind, and the very opposite of
what he outwardly affirmed and claimed was made manifest.
Your
affirmation succeeds best when it is specific and when it does not produce a
mental conflict or argument; hence the statements made by this man made matters
worse because they suggested his lack. Your subconscious accepts what you
really feel to be true, not just idle words or statements. The dominant idea or
belief is always accepted by the subconscious mind.
True Source of Wealth
Your
subconscious mind is never short of ideas. There are within it an infinite
number of ideas ready to flow into your conscious mind and appear as cash in
your pocketbook in countless ways. This process will continue to go on in your
mind regardless of whether the stock market goes up or down, or whether the
pound sterling or dollar drops in value. Your wealth is never truly dependent
on bonds, stocks, or money in the bank; these are really only symbols necessary
and useful, of course, but only symbols.
The
point I wish to emphasize is that if you convince your subconscious mind
that wealth is yours, and that it is always circulating in your life, you
will always and inevitably have it, regardless of the form it takes.
