Chapter 6, Think and Grow Rich
The lessons from Chapter 6 were some very powerful lessons I thought. Let me know what you think. Leave a comment and let me what you got from these wonderful insights from some awesome leaders.
The effective use of our Imagination is required,if
we can visualize it we can do it,whatever it is that
we so desire.
However I know that for me to use my powers of vis-
ualization to become successful then I have to
develop pure harmony with my constant focus, my
auto suggestion and my visualization.
If I can visualize clearly my burning desire and
keep it in constant focus through the use of
imagination and visualization then I can achieve
that which I truly desire. If my use of vis-
ualization is sporadic then my achievement levels
will be sporadic.
The message that Hill is strongly telling us in
this chapter is that we need to as the saying goes
"think out of the box".We can not allow the unused
muscles in our minds to lie dormant any longer.
We have to stretch them because what I now know is
that there is an answer for every question, is a
solution for every problem a work around for every
slight inconvenience. We can let nothing obstruct
our path to success and if we put our imaginative
powers to work when we are "inconvenienced" then we
will always be the ones that find solutions to
problems not the ones that are stopped by problems.
I was "working" too hard to believe - I was not
using my visualization everyday, not practicing
what I knew would work - Why I found it difficult
to belive it to be this simple I now know since I
have begun the daily practice of visualization tied
in harmony with my daily self talk that not only
are is it easier for me to complete tasks I can now
clearly see that I am on the right path to success
I know that I can achieve that which I focus on and
I can have my true desires all I have to do is begin
with belief, use my own internal powers of vis-
ualization, which grow stronger day by day and connect
those together with my self talk
Thank You Michael, Linda and the Mentoring For Free

Chapter 6
Imagination: The Workshop Of The Mind
Synthetic imagination is used by people who arrange
old thoughts, ideas, concepts into new combinations.
This creates nothing and produces a long and slow
road to becoming successful. Creative imagination
is used by people who want to achieve greatness
and want to become successful in the quickest
amount of time by following a blueprint of achieving
that path done by others before them.
Creative imagination can be achieved by exercising
your body, mind, and soul...... The 30 Day Mental
Cleanse stresses eliminating negative chatter,
saying and practicing positive self-talk, and reading
"Think and Grow Rich".
Like anything else that must be mastered on a daily
basis, soon the creative imagination will soon work
once it's practiced every day.
The great ones such as Henry Ford, Thomas Edison
use creative imagination to help them achieve personal
and financial success.
The group from Mentoring For Free also uses creative
imagination. They are the ones who never miss a phone
call and are always on the 30 Day Mental Cleanse calls.
I joined Mentoring For Free in February 2008 and during
my second stint on the 30 Day Mental Cleanse, I have
used positive self-talk and get on the phone calls.
Using positive steps learned from the calls and the
lessons, I too believe that I can own my own life that
only others dream about. I myself will do whatever
it's necessary to achieve that goal while associating
myself with a "Master Mind" group who feel the same
as I do and have taken the same path before me to
help me achieve the same success that they have.
If they can become successful in network marketing
which is the greatest vehicle in helping me own my
own life, then I should do the same and become
coachable doing what is needed to become like
them which means being with like-minded people
such as myself.
With creative imagination and like minded people,
most of the majority will use synthetic imagination
which I guess is okay for them but not for me. They
will travel the long road to becoming successful then
live in poverty when they retire not owning their own
life that they dream but not having.
Creative imagination produces a life of your own that
you get to experience thanks to network marketing
while synthetic imagination produces a life that you
never get to experience living in poverty during
retirement due to working a job for wages that barely
covers expenses.
The best things that I learned about learning how to
use and master creative imagination for myself is to
be in on all the Mentoring For Free calls and the 30
Day Mental Cleanse.
Then I too can finally sat that Iown my own life then
teaching like-minded people such as myself how to
do the same but only if they are willing to become
coachable like myself.

Chapter 6 Imagination
When I think of the synthetic imagination I think
of Michael Dlouhy always talking about stopping the
chatter in our mind. So if we are watching TV, or
listening to radio talk personalities our thoughts
are not really our own are they?
We think and act on what we see and hear. It is very
difficult to come up with a new idea if all we have
to use is the combination of others negative thoughts.
If we start now by collecting positive thoughts from
those around us, or even our own positive ideas, how
much more powerful would that be in creating a new
idea. Negative thoughts bring out negative ideas.
I do not think anyone will be truly successful by
thinking negative thoughts or having negative ideas.
So, if we surround ourselves with the good positive
thoughts and ideas of others, won't we be able to
achieve success much sooner?
Michael and others tell us of their history and the
sometimes terrible things that happened in their
lives. We hear it weekly on the mental cleanse calls
from all sorts of different backgrounds, upbringings.
This is part of our cleanse, but do you believe
Michael or any of the others want you to feel sorry
for them or want to create a negative thought in you
head? NO!! ..........Just the opposite!
What they are doing is bringing out in the open their
actual success story of how they are overcoming such
a battle. It helps me to know there are people out
there that have actually gone through things I have
gone through and to know they are overcoming their
obstacles.
I do not feel sorry for them, I feel alive with the
thought that we all can make it thorough anything,
if we surround ourselves with this type of master
mind group.
It said that we use the synthetic imagination all
the time. We come up with new ideas from older ones
floating around our brains. So if we make sure we
are using the positive ideas floating in our brains
what great new ideas we can come up with.
Now lets take a look at the creative imagination.
My son is a brilliant boy with a wonderful creative imagination. He is 11 years old and invites new
ideas daily. As an adult in my own thoughts, never
aloud, I think "ya right like that's ever going to
happen".
As adults we forget how to have that creative im-
agination. We forget how to think outside the box.
My son does it daily and without even knowing it,
I put a negative spin on all his ideas.
I felt terrible about that when I first realized
what I was doing to his great ideas. So now when
he tells me of his next great invention, I help
him by making him write down the idea and help
him think of ways to achieve what he is trying
to do.
By doing this with him I am not only encouraging
him to be creative, but I am opening up my own
creative imagination.
Go back to childhood and think of some of the
things you wanted to achieve as you grew. Have
you succeeded at any of them? If not really look
deep into yourself and see what you can do with
those old ideas to make new ideas.
Children do not usually have the burden of the
responsibilities that we adults have, so it is
easier for them to come up with creative ideas.
Try to think like a child again. Stop worrying
about what your future holds for you and work
at it one day at a time. It is not so easy to
do, but it is possible!
You can achieve any goal you put into your head.
Do not think of what you don't want, think of
what you do want.
We all can become the successful people we want
to be, but only if we use the resources we have
right in front of us. We all have great ideas
and desires, we all want something we do not
have right now.
But we also all have the power inside ourselves
to achieve it! I get more excited every time I
do a lesson plan. I know I am going to succeed
and I know it will be with the help of all of
you hear in this mastermind group.
By hearing and really learning from each persons
lesson they turn in and read on the call, I am
growing mentally every day.

Hi Michael
Chapter 6
Imagination
Hill says there are two types of imagination. The
one reorganizes known data into plans < He calls
this Synthetic And states it is the one most used
for changing the desire for money into it's
practical equivalent The other type is creative
and this is employed when there is no known concept
for what is desired He says this requires practice
to re awaken and is never really lost
So to me.. as we work with MFF and the system we each
take the knowledge that is obvious and begin to create
a plan to acheive our desire but what we need to work
on is our creative imagination because for many of us
we are stretching beyond the obvious to desires that
we have never envisioned .
Each of us has to develope the ability to reach beyond
the obvious which we have lived with up til now and
stretch for the things that will take us to new dreams
Thanks for helping us dream ever bigger and better...
Janice Warburton
I hope you enjoyed the lessons.
If you would like to be on the live calls, and be able to converse with like minded people such as these,
all you have to do is contact me and I will send you all the important information to you.
Have a fantastic day!

Chapter 5 Think and Grow Rich
Chapter 5 of Think and Grow Rich
Will these short lessons inspire you this week?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hill gives us several examples of imagination creating
ideas, and ideas stimulating imagination.
Imagination allowing, or causing, the use of ordinary
daily talents, writing, reading, pasting, speaking and organizing being marshalled together to create a master
piece. Something extraordinary.
This is a tricky chapter. Imagination and ideas, ideas
and imagination. Like the chicken and the egg argument.
I can't imagine one without the other.They go hand in
hand.
Hill talks about Ford and Carnegie and their mastermind
groups. Most of us don't have answer men handy on the
payroll, showing up at the push of a button, to
enlighten us on topics we may know very little about.
But we have an equally powerful tool. We have our own mastermind groups. This is one of them. We gather here
to get information and insight from each other.
To pose questions and answer them. To stimulate thought, imagination, and create ideas.
We have multiple mastermind groups throughout MFF. Each
topic or training call, a mastermind group in itself,
of people with specialized information sharing it with
those who need it. Whether you are ready to use it right
now or not.
They are not at the end of an inter-office button, but
they are at the end of a phone line or e-mail message.
Imagination creates ideas, ideas like a mastermind group.
Mastermind groups provide me specialized information that
I wouldn't have on my own. Information that my imagination
is then free to organize into another idea. A plan.
A plan that can lead to the creation of my masterpiece.
I don't need to be the possessor of the specialized information. I just need to access it. But I do need imagination to organize and use that information to
create that plan. A plan with the definite purpose of
moving me toward my desire, my vision.
To further the original idea. To make myself available
to opportunity.I've heard it said that if you're looking
for opportunity, it will usually find you first.
Is opportunity a state of mind? A state I create, as a
part of my desire? By moving forward in the pursuit of
that desire, do I invite opportunity?
Is it the marshalling of specialized information and
the building of a plan with a definite purpose that
invites opportunity? Set's the stage?
For Opportunity to find me, I must be seeking it too.
If I haven't gathered the specialized information I
need, and I haven't put that information into a plan
I can exercise intelligently, how can I be seeking
opportunity?
Chapter by chapter Hill is building me a road map,
that I can use to get from a state of confused thinking,
to a position of inviting opportunity.

Chapter 5 - Specialized Knowledge
"Knowledge is potential" - it will not attract money
or other desires unless I possess the ability to
organize and use the knowledge. As long as I know
where to access the knowledge, then organize it
into a definite plan of action I am educated.
Mr. Ford created his own Master Mind Group to
supply the knowledge he needed to access.
He created the ideas and others supplied the
specialized knowledge and experience that was
organized into a definite plan of actions that
produced the first 8 cylinder engine.
There are no time or age limits on attaining
knowledge, learning new skills, creating a
Master Mind Group or putting a plan into action.
As long as I have a burning desire I can find
these other ingredients to achieve what ever
my success looks like to me. If I have self
discipline, commitment, consistent action
and stay open to learning I can achieve
anything.
Thanks for all you do,
With gratitude,
Dianne Brodie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm finding Chapter 5 a lot easier to understand.
Maybe it's because it describes the way I've always
tried to live my life. I've never been afraid to work
more at everything I've ever taken on, and I believe
that in any thing I've ever put my hand to, I have had
good or reasonable success.
It made total sense to me when Hill described lifting
my head high enough to see opportunity, but I had
never thought about the reverse effect, which is that
when I lifted myself up, opportunity had a chance to
see ME!
It fits well with the idea that we are not just receivers
but transmitters as well, and what better way to
transmit to the Universe than with head held high,
as a tall antenna. Not the best word picture, I know.
A radiohead with antennae.
I may be missing something, but I love the simplicity
of this chapter. It reminds me of the simplistic but
truo old Boy's Home Journal type magazines of my early
childhood in the 50's, written in the Boy Scout style
of the 30's or 40's.
There were enough of those types of mags still around
to tell us that all we had to do was be agreeable and
occasionally useful, and things would work out alright.
Hill now tells me that by doing the right things with
head held high, we attract the attention of those who
can, and want to help us succeed.
It also makes me realize that there is plenty to go
around and we don't have to compete for success.
The truly successful want to share it with deserving
others, and all we have to do is become deserving.
I already feel deserving. Maybe I should be more
useful with head held higher. Maybe this is what
you've been talking about as a mentor with a
servant's heart.
This is getting a bit clearer, but I still don't know
what I'm learning. I'll reread the previous chapters
and work harder at their lessons.

Think and Grow Rich: Lessons from Chapter 4
Some more impressive lessons from some extraordinary people.
I think Chapter 4 is the most important Chapter in
Think and Grow Rich without belief there is no way
forward.
The challenge is to reach the subconscious mind
by thoughts or spoken words which are repeated
with emotion and belief.....The price that must be
paid is the need for persistence and the ability to
concentrate and hold those thoughts and see and
feel what you want to have and keep repeating this
until it becomes second nature. I control what I put

me.
Napoleon Hill writes"Man may become the master

has the POWER TO INFLUENCE HIS OWN SUB

say that this chapter is the keystone to the arch of

We all suggest things to ourselves as a child we
suggest we are a great president or astronaut.
As teenagers we suggest we are invisible and
nothing or anyone can hurt us. But today I also
see teens wearing shirts saying born to loose.
What kind of suggestion is that I wonder?
As adults we are programmed to suggest This
job will be ok. Why do we do this?
If our subconscious mind will do what ever we
suggest why do we suggest mediocrity. I have
read by the age of 16 we have been told that we
cant do something over 200,000 times.
That's a lot of suggestion! The conscious mind
will reject some thoughts so they never reach
the subconscious. For us to have are dreams
we must desire them.
Not only desire it but see and "feel" it as if we
are already there.. We must mix our thoughts
we desire with emotion and feeling, this is why
most people fail.
We must be persistent to succeed.....Why do
children reach goals, because they do not no
the meaning of failure. THEY PERSIST>
I wonder if this is what Jesus meant when he
said be like the little children?...... We must
concentrate and persist. When a child wants
something they will derive you crazy about it
because they are obsessed with it.
Does a child have a definite plan to reach their
goal? NO, but they press on toward it every
hour and day until it is achieved or they have
a new obsession.
WOW! I must be more like a child because
they not only believe they will have it, They
have complete faith it will be theirs...

Auto Suggestion:
Since I have not been doing my lesson plans
or being on many calls I have found that my
old thoughts are back again.
I am not programing my subconscious mind
with my burning desires, not doing my self
talk, negativity is creaping back in.... I have
been trying to please everyone else in my
life so I don't rock the boat. As you know I
have lots of things happen in the past and I
need to keep it under control.
So I am committing again to doing my lesson
plans, my self-talk, getting e-book downloads
and helping other leaders who want to learn
and be successful.
I am the one in control of what I think, what
I want , what I desire, what my success will
be and who I work with..... Autosuggestion
means I am in control of what I am putting
into my subconscious mind, I am the only
one who knows what I truly desire and want.
No one can stop me from having my desires
or stop me from my self-talk.
Speaking of self talk, it is just not the words
I say, but how I say them and also my emotion
I have when I am saying myself talk. It is truly
amazing when you can actually get your heart
racing, or close my eyes and picture myself
and my team at the success level we all want.
One other think I also do to help with auto-
suggestion is have photos of my team members,
and for people I am speaking with I will put
their names up so I can see them every single
day and focus on them.
Short but I have started on my journey once again.
Thanks to both of you, for the belief, the friend
ship and the love you both give me.

As I completed reading chapter 4 on auto-
suggestion, it accrue to me that all these
years I really thought that I had a positive
attitude, I now know what I had was only half
attitude and the rest was wishful thinking.
And you know what Michael after I have started
reading my affirmation over and over I lost count
how many times I have said my affirmation and
it finally clicked.
I don't care what people think about me it is none
of their business in the kind of business I am in,
because this is my life and I do deserve living
welland I do have abundance in my life, I have God
and good people that care and want the best for me,
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You so much,
May God Bless You and Your Family.

AUTOSUGGESTION
THE MEDIUM FOR INFLUENCING THE SUBCONSCIOUS
MIND..The Third Step toward Riches
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it I actually won the
cruise to Bermuda. I remember the day I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show. .I am always one of those
people who fills out the entry blank to win this or
that.
I looked at the picture of the Bermuda Cruise and
all of the wonderful memories of Tom,,,,,,my scuba
dive instructor husband came flooding back.
How I would love to go on that cruise.I could see the
water and the cabin and the wonderful silence of the
underwater world. The beautiful lumineus of the squid
and the colors of the fish. My mind was so focused I
didn't hear my friend Carol call me to go into the show.
Well, what do you know, a woman from the Travel Agency
giving away 25 cruises called me, her name is Darlene
and she was more excited than I was.If you can imagine
that.
Well I did and now I have the cruise.
So here goes. Oh my gosh, I just looked out my front
window to the driveway and there it sits.. Yup it is
the Candy Apple Red Mustang that I just won at
convention.
I loved walking over and having Michael hand me the
keys. I got right in the car. Wow, it was so cozy.
I of course had to drive it around the block.
Judi Sheehan jumped into the passenger side and we
drove around the block. Oh my gosh, what a time I
had driving it back to New Jersey.... I must have
stopped at every rest area just to admire it.
It drives so smooth, except when I miss the clutch
just a little, been so long since I had my 280 ZX.
What pick-up, oh, oh, highway patrol, whew he had
his red light on and whipped right past me. What
fun, I could drive this forever, but here we are home
and I am looking out into my driveway. Yup, there it
is my New Candy Apple Red Mustang.
Anyone want a ride.
Your grateful friend, and by the way Thanks for the
2008 Candy Apple Red Mustang.

Auto-suggestion is self-suggestion.
It is by this principle that thoughts reaching the
conscious mind can then reach our subconscious
mind.
This is a choice. We have the absolute control in
regards to the thoughts we want to send to our sub
conscious mind by first holding those thoughts in
our conscious mind.
Although we possess this absolute control, it is
obviously not easy to use all the time.
They key is to use the principle of auto-suggestion
mixed with feelings or emotions.This is the hard part.
Reading the statement of our desires is not hard but
seeing ourselves already in possession of our desires
with emotion is the key and can only be achieved with
practice and persistence.
There is no such thing as something for nothing and
we must pay the price to achieve our desires.
Practice and persistence.
Auto-suggestion can work for anybody. When failure
is experienced it is the individual that fails NOT the
method.
Try, try, try, until you succeed.
Success in using auto-suggestion depends on our ability
to concentrate on our desires until they become a burning
obsession.
We are masters of our own destiny because we have the
power to influence our subconscious mind.
Regards,
Michel Laliberte

Hello Michael,
I have absolute control over the material, thoughts,
ideas, beliefs, that reach my subconscious mind. So
says Hill. So it must be as far as I'm concerned.
The fact that I have absolute control over mt thoughts
reaching my subconscious mind,,,, does not mean that I
have exercised that control. Any control. So says Hill.
Don't I know it.
Here lies the recurring frustrations of my life, along
with all the voices of my ghosts, and any power they may
have been allowed to exercise. Allowed by me.
The preceding chapters have been a building of my self
talk, auto suggestion. Identifying my desire(s), naming
them, seeing them, untiI can feel them.
Desires I would not have previously dared to reach for.
Reaching for them by building Belief, and Faith, through
my own self talk. Self talking my way through this, into
it, becoming it, is such a foreign concept to my mind,
alien, but it feels so essential. So different from what
I have believed.
I don't know how to explain a craving for something I
have never tasted. But that's what I have. It's funny
how it works. At first it was just words, but I found
myself altering them, to something I liked better,
something that seemed to ring a bell.
Even if my self talk was not that passionate at first,
passion for what I am saying is building, as I edit
and rewrite, and get specific. The bell rings louder.
A war wages in me. A battle between the me I feel
that I want to be, and the me I drift back to, if
I allow my mind to drift.
I can't lose this war. I've been conceding ground my
whole life, without realizing it.... If I lost this
growing faith in myself, belief in myself, and daring
to reach for what I desire, then I could lose my
growing faith and belief in that universe, higher
power, the ether.
What a shame that would be..... If I can't be who I
dream of being, what is my purpose here?
Hill asks us; What price is too large to pay to gain
this? Talking to myself seems like a ridiculously
cheap price to pay. Self talk is free. All I have to
do is stick with it and re-program myself.
I have a long way to go to master this, and really
get from it, all I truly want....I can tell, because,
when I read this out loud to myself, part of me still
cringes at thinking it, writing it down, and then....
God Forbid, speaking it.
This is my old programming trying to kick in, telling
me to get real, this sounds nuts. That programming
has kept me running into the same brick wall, over
and over again, my whole life. How sane is that?
At these moments, I have to meet my past programming
with my self talk. But I know that with each expression
of my self talk, I'm replacing the old programming with
my new programming a little more each time I say it.
I think other people can hear it? Old programming
says things like "What do you mean you get your
plans from the ether?"
It's a scrap. A real battle in here. I knock that
voice down with my self talk. I'll win this scrap.
With each head on, I am gaining back ground I
previously surrendered.
Left to outside programming, others programming,
my mind is wide open to every influence, except
mine, and not working toward my desires.
Hill says, if your not so good at self talk, just
because you're a beginner, just keep practicing.
That's what Michael says. That's what Patti says.
I wonder how many people I couldn't hear say that
to me, until I hit that familiar wall again?
Like a drunk stumbling past the building where '
the AA meeting is, and never noticing it. Like not
noticing the step by step how to instructions with
each chapter in this book, the other times I passed
by.
ORDERS, given to my mind, by me, in the SPIRIT
of Faith, my faith, in me, and in the universe,
in Hill,in Michael, ORDERS based in my BELIEF
that this works, is all underpinned by my self
talk.
Without it, I'll build another house of cards,
and it will come down on me again.
I cannot trust to reason. Reason thinks I'm nuts
and keeps running me into the same brick wall.
At this wall, faith, belief, and desire fade away.
I should not wonder how I missed this chapter
before. Understanding it, and using it, was not
serving my old programming.
Carry out these instructions as though you
were a small child - Hill

I think Chapter 4 is the most important Chapter in
Think and Grow Rich without belief there is no way
forward.
The challenge is to reach the subconscious mind
by thoughts or spoken words which are repeated
with emotion and belief.....The price that must be
paid is the need for persistence and the ability to
concentrate and hold those thoughts and see and
feel what you want to have and keep repeating this
until it becomes second nature. I control what I put
into my subconscious mind - the answer lies with
me.
Napoleon Hill writes"Man may become the master

As I completed reading chapter 4 on auto-
suggestion, it accrue to me that all these
years I really thought that I had a positive
attitude, I now know what I had was only half
attitude and the rest was wishful thinking.
And you know what Michael after I have started
reading my affirmation over and over I lost count
how many times I have said my affirmation and
it finally clicked.
I don't care what people think about me it is none
of their business in the kind of business I am in,
because this is my life and I do deserve living
welland I do have abundance in my life, I have God
and good people that care and want the best for me,

AUTOSUGGESTION
THE MEDIUM FOR INFLUENCING THE SUBCONSCIOUS
MIND..The Third Step toward Riches
Oh my gosh, I can't believe it I actually won the
cruise to Bermuda. I remember the day I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show. .I am always one of those
people who fills out the entry blank to win this or
that.
I looked at the picture of the Bermuda Cruise and
all of the wonderful memories of Tom,,,,,,my scuba
dive instructor husband came flooding back.
How I would love to go on that cruise.I could see the
water and the cabin and the wonderful silence of the
underwater world. The beautiful lumineus of the squid
and the colors of the fish. My mind was so focused I
didn't hear my friend Carol call me to go into the show.
Well, what do you know, a woman from the Travel Agency
giving away 25 cruises called me, her name is Darlene
and she was more excited than I was.If you can imagine
that.
Well I did and now I have the cruise.
So here goes. Oh my gosh, I just looked out my front
window to the driveway and there it sits.. Yup it is
the Candy Apple Red Mustang that I just won at
convention.
I loved walking over and having Michael hand me the
keys. I got right in the car. Wow, it was so cozy.
I of course had to drive it around the block.
Judi Sheehan jumped into the passenger side and we
drove around the block. Oh my gosh, what a time I
had driving it back to New Jersey.... I must have
stopped at every rest area just to admire it.
It drives so smooth, except when I miss the clutch
just a little, been so long since I had my 280 ZX.
What pick-up, oh, oh, highway patrol, whew he had
his red light on and whipped right past me. What
fun, I could drive this forever, but here we are home
and I am looking out into my driveway. Yup, there it
is my New Candy Apple Red Mustang.
Anyone want a ride.
Your grateful friend, and by the way Thanks for the
2008 Candy Apple Red Mustang.

Auto-suggestion is self-suggestion.
It is by this principle that thoughts reaching the
conscious mind can then reach our subconscious
mind.
This is a choice. We have the absolute control in
regards to the thoughts we want to send to our sub
conscious mind by first holding those thoughts in
our conscious mind.
Although we possess this absolute control, it is
obviously not easy to use all the time.
They key is to use the principle of auto-suggestion
mixed with feelings or emotions.This is the hard part.
Reading the statement of our desires is not hard but
seeing ourselves already in possession of our desires
with emotion is the key and can only be achieved with
practice and persistence.
There is no such thing as something for nothing and
we must pay the price to achieve our desires.
Practice and persistence.
Auto-suggestion can work for anybody. When failure
is experienced it is the individual that fails NOT the
method.
Try, try, try, until you succeed.
Success in using auto-suggestion depends on our ability
to concentrate on our desires until they become a burning
obsession.
We are masters of our own destiny because we have the
power to influence our subconscious mind.

Michel Laliberte

Hello Michael,
I have absolute control over the material, thoughts,
ideas, beliefs, that reach my subconscious mind. So
says Hill. So it must be as far as I'm concerned.
The fact that I have absolute control over mt thoughts
reaching my subconscious mind,,,, does not mean that I
have exercised that control. Any control. So says Hill.
Don't I know it.
Here lies the recurring frustrations of my life, along
with all the voices of my ghosts, and any power they may
have been allowed to exercise. Allowed by me.
The preceding chapters have been a building of my self
talk, auto suggestion. Identifying my desire(s), naming
them, seeing them, untiI can feel them.
Desires I would not have previously dared to reach for.
Reaching for them by building Belief, and Faith, through
my own self talk. Self talking my way through this, into
it, becoming it, is such a foreign concept to my mind,
alien, but it feels so essential. So different from what
I have believed.
I don't know how to explain a craving for something I
have never tasted. But that's what I have. It's funny
how it works. At first it was just words, but I found
myself altering them, to something I liked better,
something that seemed to ring a bell.
Even if my self talk was not that passionate at first,
passion for what I am saying is building, as I edit
and rewrite, and get specific. The bell rings louder.
A war wages in me. A battle between the me I feel
that I want to be, and the me I drift back to, if
I allow my mind to drift.
I can't lose this war. I've been conceding ground my
whole life, without realizing it.... If I lost this
growing faith in myself, belief in myself, and daring
to reach for what I desire, then I could lose my
growing faith and belief in that universe, higher
power, the ether.
What a shame that would be..... If I can't be who I
dream of being, what is my purpose here?
Hill asks us; What price is too large to pay to gain
this? Talking to myself seems like a ridiculously
cheap price to pay. Self talk is free. All I have to
do is stick with it and re-program myself.
I have a long way to go to master this, and really
get from it, all I truly want....I can tell, because,
when I read this out loud to myself, part of me still
cringes at thinking it, writing it down, and then....
God Forbid, speaking it.
This is my old programming trying to kick in, telling
me to get real, this sounds nuts. That programming
has kept me running into the same brick wall, over
and over again, my whole life. How sane is that?
At these moments, I have to meet my past programming
with my self talk. But I know that with each expression
of my self talk, I'm replacing the old programming with
my new programming a little more each time I say it.
I think other people can hear it? Old programming
says things like "What do you mean you get your
plans from the ether?"
It's a scrap. A real battle in here. I knock that
voice down with my self talk. I'll win this scrap.
With each head on, I am gaining back ground I
previously surrendered.
Left to outside programming, others programming,
my mind is wide open to every influence, except
mine, and not working toward my desires.
Hill says, if your not so good at self talk, just
because you're a beginner, just keep practicing.
That's what Michael says. That's what Patti says.
I wonder how many people I couldn't hear say that
to me, until I hit that familiar wall again?
Like a drunk stumbling past the building where '
the AA meeting is, and never noticing it. Like not
noticing the step by step how to instructions with
each chapter in this book, the other times I passed
by.
ORDERS, given to my mind, by me, in the SPIRIT
of Faith, my faith, in me, and in the universe,
in Hill,in Michael, ORDERS based in my BELIEF
that this works, is all underpinned by my self
talk.
Without it, I'll build another house of cards,
and it will come down on me again.
I cannot trust to reason. Reason thinks I'm nuts
and keeps running me into the same brick wall.
At this wall, faith, belief, and desire fade away.
I should not wonder how I missed this chapter
before. Understanding it, and using it, was not
serving my old programming.
Carry out these instructions as though you
were a small child - Hill

I think Chapter 4 is the most important Chapter in
Think and Grow Rich without belief there is no way
forward.
The challenge is to reach the subconscious mind
by thoughts or spoken words which are repeated
with emotion and belief.....The price that must be
paid is the need for persistence and the ability to
concentrate and hold those thoughts and see and
feel what you want to have and keep repeating this
until it becomes second nature. I control what I put
into my subconscious mind - the answer lies with
me.
Napoleon Hill writes"Man may become the master
of himself, and of his environment,,,,, because he
has the POWER TO INFLUENCE HIS OWN SUB
CONSCIOUS MIND, and through it,,,,,,,, gain the
cooperation of Infinite Intelligence." He goes onto
say that this chapter is the keystone to the arch of
this philosophy. I have read this chapter a number
of times - I think however this is the first time I
have actually understood it.

We all suggest things to ourselves as a child we
suggest we are a great president or astronaut.
As teenagers we suggest we are invisible and
nothing or anyone can hurt us. But today I also
see teens wearing shirts saying born to loose.
What kind of suggestion is that I wonder?
As adults we are programmed to suggest This
job will be ok. Why do we do this?
If our subconscious mind will do what ever we
suggest why do we suggest mediocrity. I have
read by the age of 16 we have been told that we
cant do something over 200,000 times.
That's a lot of suggestion! The conscious mind
will reject some thoughts so they never reach
the subconscious. For us to have are dreams
we must desire them.
Not only desire it but see and "feel" it as if we
are already there.. We must mix our thoughts
we desire with emotion and feeling, this is why
most people fail.
We must be persistent to succeed.....Why do
children reach goals, because they do not no
the meaning of failure. THEY PERSIST>
I wonder if this is what Jesus meant when he
said be like the little children?...... We must
concentrate and persist. When a child wants
something they will derive you crazy about it
because they are obsessed with it.
Does a child have a definite plan to reach their
goal? NO, but they press on toward it every
hour and day until it is achieved or they have
a new obsession.
WOW! I must be more like a child because
they not only believe they will have it, They
have complete faith it will be theirs...
Thank You Michael & Linda

Auto Suggestion:
Since I have not been doing my lesson plans
or being on many calls I have found that my
old thoughts are back again.
I am not programing my subconscious mind
with my burning desires, not doing my self
talk, negativity is creaping back in.... I have
been trying to please everyone else in my
life so I don't rock the boat. As you know I
have lots of things happen in the past and I
need to keep it under control.
So I am committing again to doing my lesson
plans, my self-talk, getting e-book downloads
and helping other leaders who want to learn
and be successful.
I am the one in control of what I think, what
I want , what I desire, what my success will
be and who I work with..... Autosuggestion
means I am in control of what I am putting
into my subconscious mind, I am the only
one who knows what I truly desire and want.
No one can stop me from having my desires
or stop me from my self-talk.
Speaking of self talk, it is just not the words
I say, but how I say them and also my emotion
I have when I am saying myself talk. It is truly
amazing when you can actually get your heart
racing, or close my eyes and picture myself
and my team at the success level we all want.
One other think I also do to help with auto-
suggestion is have photos of my team members,
and for people I am speaking with I will put
their names up so I can see them every single
day and focus on them.
Short but I have started on my journey once again.
Thanks to both of you, for the belief, the friend
ship and the love you both give me.

Lessons Learned from Chapter 3
More lessons from Mentoring for Free participants in the 30 Day Cleanse group. Enjoy!
Well, here goes
This was a very good chapter and not for the reasons I thought. I have been a Christian, a man of faith, and
and I thought i knew why. I never realized how much
our emotions played into building our faith and how it
brings about the changes that we desire for.
The book stated that the three strongest emotions,faith,
love and sex, when blended have the effect of"coloring"
thought in such a way by reaching the sub-conscience
mind changing it into it's spiritual equivalent.
At first I was thinking this was a mystic gobbledeegoop,
but the more I read I realized that what he scriptures
says is true. That through God we are wonderfully and fearfully made. All of that works for a reason.
The scriptures tell us to ask, and we will receive.
Seek and we will find and doors will be open for us.
Isn't it unique that as we do this we are allowing
our mind to take this and make it so. God says that
if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can move
mountains.
Something that really caught my attention was the
words of the criminologist. "When men first come
into contact with crime, they abhor it. If they
remain in contact with crime for a time, they become
accustomed to it, and endure it.
If they remain in contact with it long enough, they
finally embrace it, and become influenced by it."
'That works with everything we do in life. That can
work with bad things we do and also with good things
that we do.
I have have heard it said that it takes 21 days to
build a habit. Well..that is how it is built. A little
at a time unto we are hooked. That can be hooked on
crime, drugs, sex or hooked on prayer, excersizing,
eating right, and even making phone calls.
I honestly think, I know that people can talk them
selves into bad heath. That they DOOM themselves.
I have a friend that has done just that. she is a
wonderful woman, but with health problems galore.
But when you hear her talk.you know why she has them,
She has spoken those very thing into existance.
I could write another chapter here, but these were
some of my "AH HA" thoughts in this chapter. The
chapter on desire was incredible, but this chapter
struck a lot closer to home.
I will make it to the top. I will bring as many
people as I can with me.
Rick Spurr

Chapter 3: Faith
Visualization of, and Belief in Attainment of Desire
The three emotions mentioned in this chapter are
faith, love and sex. Faith and love are spiritual
while sex is physical. While they have their place in
this chapter, the two that have played a significance
role in my life are faith and love.
Faith in my case is setting to be in a positive state
of mind whether I seek it myself or with a higher
spiritual power. Love is being able to tell yourself
how much you love yourself then telling others how much
you love them.
Without those emotions, one would never know how Much
abundance they would receive unless they Practice using
those emotions.
A quick example comes from the book "How to Sell
Anything to Anybody" by Joe Girard who is known as
the"World's Greatest Salesman". In one chapter, he
uses faith which he calls his want.
When he lost his small business, he got a job selling
cars. He also developed his want which was a bag of
groceries to feed his family. When he selling a customer
a car, he used a word picture which was that customer
becoming a bag of groceries for him and his family.
By selling that customer a car he was able to get that
bag of groceries. To me, faith is being able to believe
that I have what it is I have set out to do in my
personal and business life.
My being in network marketing, I have the faith and
have already accomplished a better life for myself and
like minded people who want the same.
Love which I learned from "Think And Grow Rich",
"Mentoring For Free", and the "30 Day Mental Cleanse"
involves loving myself before I'm able to love others.
By using self-talk telling myself that I love myself,
then I am able to love others receiving love in return
after giving it. By practicing both emotions on a
daily basis, I can see the positive results it has
made on my personal and business life. To those who
have practiced and used those emotions on a daily
basis would know what I'm talking and can vouch for
what I am saying.
Thank you for planting the seeds in my life which
before I met you Michael, I never would have thought
it was possible to accomplish what it is that I want.
I don't have to feel guilty anymore about wanting a
rich and full life that I only set out to accomplish
as long as I can help others do the same if they want
it bad enough. Again, thank you for that as I will
keep doing what needs to done in being the best
person I can be.
Cordially,
Paul Rosen

Faith.
How appropriate that I would begin my 30-Day Mental
Cleanse with this lesson. Faith is a subject that's
been on my mind a lot lately. And, God has been good
to me in that He has been showing me how to have
greater faith. This lesson is right on time for me.
I can see that it is a matter of "practice" that is
needed to change my thinking; to keep the right
thoughts, words, and visualization along with them
to bring them to life.
In Proverbs 18:20, it says "A man's self shall be
filled with the fruit of his mouth (what he speaks,
even thinks); and with the consequence of his words
he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].Clearly,
our thoughts and words affect ourselves and others.
I must remember that faith is POWERFUL. There are illustrations in the Bible where Jesus has responded
to individuals by healing them and telling them that
their FAITH has healed them.
He gave them their burning desire because they had
faith. He also said that if we just had the tiniest
amount of faith we could move a mountain and that
nothing would be impossible for us (Matthew 17:20).
Jeani Morrison

FAITH
Napoleon Hill makes the following statements about
FAITH...
* Faith is the Head Chemist of the mind, so obviously
I need it.
* Faith is a state of mind which may be induced,
created... by affirmation or repeated instructions to
the subconscious mind, through the principle of auto
suggestion.
* Faith is a state of mind I may develop at will.
* Repetition of affirmation of orders to my sub
conscious mind is the only known method of VOLUNTARY development of the emotion of faith.
* Any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed
on to the subconscious mind is, finally, accepted and
acted upon by the subconscious mind, which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent by
the most practical procedure available.
* All thoughts which have been emotionalized (given
feeling) and mixed with faith begin immediately to
translate themselves into their physical equivale

Without those emotions, one would never know how Much
abundance they would receive unless they Practice using
those emotions.
A quick example comes from the book "How to Sell
Anything to Anybody" by Joe Girard who is known as
the"World's Greatest Salesman". In one chapter, he
uses faith which he calls his want.
When he lost his small business, he got a job selling
cars. He also developed his want which was a bag of
groceries to feed his family. When he selling a customer
a car, he used a word picture which was that customer
becoming a bag of groceries for him and his family.
By selling that customer a car he was able to get that
bag of groceries. To me, faith is being able to believe
that I have what it is I have set out to do in my
personal and business life.
My being in network marketing, I have the faith and
have already accomplished a better life for myself and
like minded people who want the same.
Love which I learned from "Think And Grow Rich",
"Mentoring For Free", and the "30 Day Mental Cleanse"
involves loving myself before I'm able to love others.
By using self-talk telling myself that I love myself,
then I am able to love others receiving love in return
after giving it. By practicing both emotions on a
daily basis, I can see the positive results it has
made on my personal and business life. To those who
have practiced and used those emotions on a daily
basis would know what I'm talking and can vouch for
what I am saying.
Thank you for planting the seeds in my life which
before I met you Michael, I never would have thought
it was possible to accomplish what it is that I want.
I don't have to feel guilty anymore about wanting a
rich and full life that I only set out to accomplish
as long as I can help others do the same if they want
it bad enough. Again, thank you for that as I will
keep doing what needs to done in being the best
person I can be.
Cordially,
Paul Rosen

Faith.
How appropriate that I would begin my 30-Day Mental
Cleanse with this lesson. Faith is a subject that's
been on my mind a lot lately. And, God has been good
to me in that He has been showing me how to have
greater faith. This lesson is right on time for me.
I can see that it is a matter of "practice" that is
needed to change my thinking; to keep the right
thoughts, words, and visualization along with them
to bring them to life.
In Proverbs 18:20, it says "A man's self shall be
filled with the fruit of his mouth (what he speaks,
even thinks); and with the consequence of his words
he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].Clearly,
our thoughts and words affect ourselves and others.
I must remember that faith is POWERFUL. There are illustrations in the Bible where Jesus has responded
to individuals by healing them and telling them that
their FAITH has healed them.
He gave them their burning desire because they had
faith. He also said that if we just had the tiniest
amount of faith we could move a mountain and that
nothing would be impossible for us (Matthew 17:20).

FAITH
Napoleon Hill makes the following statements about
FAITH...
* Faith is the Head Chemist of the mind, so obviously
I need it.
* Faith is a state of mind which may be induced,
created... by affirmation or repeated instructions to
the subconscious mind, through the principle of auto
suggestion.
* Faith is a state of mind I may develop at will.
* Repetition of affirmation of orders to my sub
conscious mind is the only known method of VOLUNTARY development of the emotion of faith.
* Any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed
on to the subconscious mind is, finally, accepted and
acted upon by the subconscious mind, which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent by
the most practical procedure available.
* All thoughts which have been emotionalized (given
feeling) and mixed with faith begin immediately to
translate themselves into their physical equivale
