Chapter 15 Think and Grow Rich

*HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR*

Take Inventory of Yourself, As You Read This Closing
Chapter, and Find Out How Many of the “Ghosts” Are
Standing in Your Way

This is the second time I am reading this chapter, my
emotion is very different from the first time. I am
amazed at the effect of the mental cleanse. I have so
much peace in me that I am not afraid of what I will
find out about myself.

Just in the last few weeks I’ve gained tremendous
amount of confidence in my way of handling things.
I am becoming a critical thinker and no longer try
to take the easy way out.

In the past I will look at the inventory lists with
a sense of insecurity and doubt that brings on anxiety,
but this time I only find a number of issues that I
have already identified and I am on my way of over
coming them. I am very grateful.

I have talked to a few friends lately, several of
them all commented to me that I have grown a lot
just the short time they have known me.

Thank you Linda and Michael for giving me Your
valuable time, You have made a big different in
my life. I thank God for You all the time.

Basically it all comes down to controlling my own thoughts.Doing positive things on a daily and
consistant basis, my self talk (which I lack some
days to do ),reading my Slight Edge daily ( a couple
of days I did not read from it and I literally could
feel a difference ), attending my team meetings,being
on the calls, staying “close to the fire ” is so true.

I do have fears in the back of my mind,my biggest one
is fear of poverty,I have literally lived day to day
in my past..(yes I know I can’t change the past),but
it is still in my memory.

I have to fight worry and stress many days as right
now I am financially struggling. I am thankful for
the things I do have and it could be a whole lot worse,
so I just try to stay positive and just keep telling my
self that I am doing my best and since I am doing my best
I cannot do any more.

The other 5 fears are in all honesty something I dwell on .Since my injury I have a fear of getting worse at
times but I don’t dwell on it instead I am thankful for
the movement I do have….and now since I am on a diet,,
loosing weight will help me…

So in conclusion it still comes down to the fact that
I have a choice as to what occupies my mind and that
is what is going to either lead me to the failure
curve or the success curve..I CHOOSE THE SUCCESS CURVE.

MUCH LOVE

This week I had a minor setback thinking about the fear
of poverty once again. My husband took me shoe shopping
at the local shoe store, and as he was paying for the
shoes, I said “well I have my one pair of shoes for
this year”, and my husband kindly reminded me that we
are not living in fear of poverty anymore. He said”No
Ingrid, this year you will have at least 20 pairs of
shoes in your closet”.

He said fear of poverty is  a state of mind, and re-
minded me once again that we no longer live in that
state of mind.

For many years I have lived with the fear of poverty
in my mind. I would think of only owning one good pair
of sneekers, and thats is exactly what has happend for
the last 17 years. Every Oct.

I go shoe shopping and get one pair of shoes,and that
pair has to last a whole year. I let my fears into my
mind, and the very thing that I feared came true.

I did not understand what was happening until I read
Hills book Think and Grow Rich. Some other fears that
I had were…homelessness, no electricity, running out
of food before payday,my husband loosing his job, my
kids getting sick.

All these fears came true bacause I put them into my
mind and spoke them into existance.

Today, I have learned to think about what I put into
my mind, and to watch what I say. The day I went shoe
shopping was the day I didn’t say my self talk.

From now on I will say my self talk each and everyday.
The self talk really matters.

Thank you Michael and Linda for providing this
mastermind group. This group has helped me grow
and learn. I look forward to every Wed.
