Speaker 1:

We're back. We are on podcast number 11. Last week we took a little bit of a break from Power of the Subconscious Mind. We went to Gratitude and now we're back to Power of the Subconscious Mind. We are on chapter two, page 37. We're going to be doing a review of the chapter and close out chapter two today. Let's go to the book Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows.

Speaker 1:

You are what you think about all day long. Let's pause for a second. Earl Nightingale did an incredible recording called the Greatest Secret, and the Greatest Secret is what they just mentioned here, which is you become what you think about all day long and what most people don't do, and ask yourself this question do you do it? Do you pay attention to what you're thinking about consistently or does it go on an autopilot? What we want to do is again start paying attention, because what you're going to find is there's an indicator. We have. That indicator is how are we feeling? So if you just check in with yourself at any moment, you say how am I feeling? If you're feeling good, that's great. That's telling you that you're having some really good thoughts, because the thoughts always precede the feelings. So that gives you a great indication that continue what you're doing, because if we're feeling depressed down, worried, upset, anxious, any of those negative feelings that we don't want to be feeling, it's a guarantee that our thoughts are going in a way that they shouldn't be. So again, what we're starting to pay attention to now is what am I thinking about? And if we are having 65,000 thoughts per day, which is a lot of thoughts, it would be very challenging to try to track those 65,000 thoughts. Think about that. All these thoughts are flowing through your mind. How would you be able to pay attention to that? The easy way to do that again is not focus on the thoughts. Focus on what am I feeling now and again, if you're feeling good, that means your thoughts are good, and if you're feeling not so good, that means your thoughts are off base. So when you notice that you're not feeling good, then what do you do? Just shift your line of thinking.

Speaker 1:

Let's use an example. I'm feeling anxious. I'm driving in my car and as soon as I start to think about the anxiousness that I'm feeling, I ask myself what is it that I'm thinking about? And then I noticed that I'm thinking about an event that's coming up and I'm a little nervous about how it's going to unfold and I'm thinking these thoughts and they're leading me into that negative thought process. What would you do when you realize you're in that situation? It's really simple we just shift the way we're thinking.

Speaker 1:

Instead of me thinking about that upcoming event in a negative way, I may say to myself hey, what am I so grateful for? And focus on the gratitude of the fact that I'm going to be having this event. Maybe I would also think to myself how do I know that I'm so prepared for this upcoming event? In other words, I'm asking myself a question that's going to prompt my subconscious mind to look for specific answers that are positive, because I'm asking a question that's going to lead to a positive response. This is also another important thing to consider.

Speaker 1:

Our mind, again, works like Google, so whatever question we ask and a lot of our thoughts are questions. Example why don't I have more money in my bank account? If I ask that question, what do you think the subconscious mind is going to search for? If it's like Google, it's going to search for answers to that question, so it's going to look for negatives. In. Another way of doing it is I can ask myself the question what am I grateful for in this situation? And when I ask that question, what is my subconscious mind, the Google that's inside of me, what is it going to search for? It's going to search for positive answers.

Speaker 1:

So, again, there are these tools that we have, the questions that we're going to ask ourselves, the tool of paying attention to the feeling that I'm having and, based on that feeling, it's going to tell me what thoughts are going through my mind. And so, when I notice that I'm not feeling good, I switch it, I switch the line of thoughts. I ask myself a new question. One of the best questions you could ever ask yourself when you're not feeling good is what am I grateful for right now, in this moment? And I guarantee you, when you ask that question to the Google inside of us, what answer is going to be displayed. An answer is going to be something that you're grateful for. And when you start focusing on what you're grateful for, how do you think you're going to feel? And, of course, you're going to feel better. So, again, these are tools. You have them in your tool belt and you use them when you realize and when you become aware that you're off center. Make sense. Perfect, let's go on.

Speaker 1:

Let's move on to the next one, number two your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say I can't afford it, it may be true, but don't say it Select a better thought decree, I'll buy it. I accept it in my mind. All right, let's pause for a second. Here your subconscious mind won't argue with you. So again, think of your subconscious mind, that deep part of your mind. Whatever you're thinking consistently will go directly into the subconscious mind, and when it goes in there, the subconscious mind's job is to make sure that you get more of what you're planting in it. So, whatever you're thinking consistently, whatever you're planting in, you're going to get more of that to experience.

Speaker 1:

So here, when it's saying I can't afford it, if you say that to yourself, I can't afford to get that, car I can't afford to do that right now, let me ask you a question what do you think would be a better thing to say? It may be true that right now in your bank account, you don't really have the money to go out and buy that thing, and it would make sense not to do it at the moment. However, instead of saying to your subconscious mind I can't afford it. What do you think would be a better thought for you to have, perhaps, instead of saying I can't afford it is you know what? Right now, I'm not going to get it, I don't want it at this moment. So, by changing that directive to, your subconscious mind now understands oh okay, I just don't want it right now.

Speaker 1:

It's not that I can't afford it, because if you tell it that you can't afford it, what do you think your subconscious mind's going to do? It's going to give you more things in your life that you can't afford, and that same thought process is going to continue and you're going to notice more and more things that you lack in your life. All because that's the seed that you're planting in your subconscious mind. Does this make sense? You really have a lot of control here, and the control is what am I planting in the garden? There's that beautiful garden right there. It's your garden and you choose what to plant in it. If you have this beautiful garden that has carrots and it has broccoli and all these things that you really like, you're not going to plant bad things in there, but we do that all day long in our subconscious mind, that garden that's inside of us that will grow whatever we're planting in it.

Speaker 1:

So our job is to notice when we're not feeling so good and then think of our thoughts that we're thinking about, shift them and start planting those seeds that we want in our subconscious mind. That's where we do have control. You have absolute control over how you feel. At any moment, you can change it. You're not stuck feeling anxious. You're not stuck feeling worried. You're not stuck feeling depressed. The only reason you're going to continue to feel those ways is if you continue to think the same way that you've been thinking and continue to speak the same way that you've been speaking and continue to speak the same way that you've been speaking. A very good way to again notice what you're thinking about is notice what am I saying out loud to other people? If I'm saying I can't afford this, if I'm saying these negative things, then I know this is what's in my mind, this is what I'm thinking about and I need to start changing it Again.

Speaker 1:

Remember, you can always ask this question what am I grateful for in this situation? So imagine that you go. You look at this beautiful car. It's something that you would really like to get, but in your mind you had been saying I can't afford it. So you change that to hey, right now I don't want to get that. And here's the question. You can ask what am I grateful for in this situation? And then you listen to what you're grateful for. I'm grateful that I have the ability to get over here to look at this new car. I have a car that currently works. I have a car that gets me back and forth. I have the ability to fill up the car with fuel. I have the ability to get fuel the car with fuel. I have the ability to get fuel to fill up in my tank.

Speaker 1:

There is a million things that we can be grateful for, and when we start realizing how much there is to be grateful for, what do you think is going to happen to our mindset? Is it going to be more negative, is it going to be more positive? And, of course, it's going to be more positive. So these are the tools that we have at our disposal. The question is am I going to use the tool Now? If I have a hammer and I have all these nails that I want to hammer into the wall, if I don't use the hammer, what's the likelihood that those nails are going to be hammered into the wall. It's not very good. So I have to choose. I have to make a choice and say I'm taking this hammer and I'm going to hammer those nails into the wall, and it's the same thing with us. We have to make the choice and say I have this tool to speak in a way that I want to think, in a way that I want to be grateful, in a way that I want to, and those are things that I'm choosing to do, and when you choose to do that, your life experience will completely change.

Speaker 1:

All right, let's go back to the book, and it's interesting because we're going to number three and it's just talking about what we just said, which is that power to choose. So here is what it says you that's you listening in right now, sitting in your car, at the gym, wherever you are. If you're hearing this message, there's a reason and purpose for it. Here's what it says you have the power to choose. You can choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly or you can choose to be unfriendly. You can choose to cooperate joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality. So, again, we have a choice, and I want to point you back to what I just said a little while ago. The way that we realize that we're off base is by how we're feeling in the moment. If we're feeling positive, great, do more of the same, because you're right on track. If you're feeling negative, no worries. Pick out one of the tools, take out your hammer and hammer those nails into the wall.

Speaker 1:

Focus on gratitude. I'm choosing now to focus on gratitude. I'm going to think what am I grateful for right now in my life? Why am I so grateful for my health? Why am I so grateful for my family? Why am I so grateful for anything else that you have in your life? It doesn't matter what it is. Ask that question and I promise you'll get an answer, and when you focus on that, you're going to get more of it. So, again, you have the power to choose, and that is your choice. That is your power.

Speaker 1:

We don't have the power over some of the events that occur in our life. Something may happen, something you don't like. That's an event, and we don't have the power to choose all the time over these events that show up. However, what we do have the power to do is choose how we're going to respond to that event and, based on how we respond to that event, it's going to determine our outcome. Again, we have an event that occurs. Let's use an example. We have an event that occurs.

Speaker 1:

I find out that someone was in a car accident. This is bad news. This is clearly not a good thing and it could potentially really upset us. That's the event Someone gets in a car accident. The response is everything. I can get myself all anxious and all worried, or I can ask myself a different question. I found out they were an accident, they were hurt, but they're okay. What's a question that I can ask myself right now that's going to lead me down a positive path? Wow, why am I so grateful that they're okay? How lucky am I? It could have been a completely different phone call. I could have received a phone call that said this person died in the car accident. However, they're hurt and it's upsetting, but at the same time, I'm super grateful that they're okay.

Speaker 1:

And then we go down the path of gratitude. This is our power to choose and this is what we do on a consistent basis, and when we use this power, which again is our power to respond, how am I going to respond to any event that occurs in my life? And I choose to respond from a place of gratitude, then your outcome is going to be completely different than it would be if you chose to respond from a place of negativity. Get it Got it, good, let's go on to the next one, number four your conscious mind is the watchman at the gate. Its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Choose to believe that something good can happen and is happening now. Your greatest powers and your capacity to choose happiness and abundance. This, again, is our ability. This is our ability to choose. What is our response going to be in this situation?

Speaker 1:

And when it says your conscious mind, this is your thinking mind, this is the mind that you can choose to have, think in a specific way. This is the mind you can choose to think from a place of gratitude. That conscious mind is the watchman at the gate. That conscious mind acts like the virus software that's on your computer. It protects negative thoughts from coming in. So it can also not protect you if you allow your mind to do what it does, which is go off in its own direction of negativity. If you allow it to focus on the negative, it's going to do that. It's going to go into the subconscious mind, it's going to create all these false impressions and we're not going to feel good Again. We have the power to choose what our response is going to be in any situation, and the question is what's your response going to be? Think right now for one moment, think about something that's been bothering you, something that you're not happy about currently in your life. And now I want you to ask yourself this question why can you be grateful that you're in that situation right now? Why can you be grateful that you don't have that thing that you really want in your life right now? What's the gratitude behind it? And I really want you to think about that and I really want you to answer that question, because when you answer that question, your mind is going to go in a completely different path. Perfect, let's go back to the book. We're up to number five here.

Speaker 1:

The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react. And instead of saying how you will react, what I would say again is how are you choosing to respond?

Speaker 1:

Someone says something negative to you, and how are you choosing to respond? Someone says something negative to you, and how are you choosing to respond to that? Let's say someone says something negative to you, what about choosing to respond from this place? You don't say anything back and you say I'm going to practice right now pretending that I am so strong and powerful that I've literally set up a force field to block out that negative statement from coming in. And we have that ability because our response to that situation, how we're going to respond, is everything. And we can choose to respond from that place or we can choose to respond from this place. They're right. What's wrong with me? I am stupid, I am a bad person.

Speaker 1:

And if we say that and we plant those seeds in the subconscious mind, what are we going to get more of? More negativity, more feeling anxious, more feeling bad, more feeling worried, more feeling depressed. And it's you that's causing that. And again, you didn't know it up until we started listening to this podcast. But the only cause of that is how you're choosing to respond to a situation, and your response can change by the way you change your thinking about it or the questions that you're asking about it, because a thought is also a question. A thought can be a question. Many of your thoughts are questions that you're asking yourself. So again, what am I grateful for in this situation? Ask yourself that question and you're going to get a very different response and you're going to get a very different outcome. Outcome Perfect.

Speaker 1:

Let's go on to number six. Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word. Never say I will fail. Never say I will lose my job. Never say I can't pay the rent.

Speaker 1:

Your subconscious can't take a joke. It doesn't know any better and it will bring all these things to pass. Our words create Whatever we're going to say. Enough, it's going to create a life like that. Think of an example in your life.

Speaker 1:

What's something negative that you've consistently said out loud and your experience in life is very similar to that? Maybe it's I can never lose weight. Every time I've tried, I failed. I'm so bad at this. I just have no willpower. I have no discipline. If you say that to your subconscious mind, you know what it says. It says you are so right. You have no discipline. You fail a lot, you're really not good. You can't do this, and it will give you more of that in your life.

Speaker 1:

However, remember what we said about responding to a situation. Instead of saying that, our response is I'm going to speak positivity in the world. It could be something like this when it comes to weight loss. Up until this point, I haven't been super successful with my weight loss, but I know my mind is getting stronger and better and I am going to keep getting better and better at this, and it's becoming more easy and more effortless for me to lose not lose to release the weight, to let it go, because I don't need to hold on to that anymore. So you see, our words are super powerful, and the only person that speaks words is the person that is listening to this right now, which is you.

Speaker 1:

If you don't think you're responsible for the fact that you're overweight right now and again, it's not a bad thing. It's not a good thing. It's just a fact right now. Right now, you're overweight. However, all you have to do is to start telling your subconscious mind I am getting stronger and I am getting better and it is becoming easier and easier for me to release this weight. I am strong, I am powerful, I can do this.

Speaker 1:

And you keep saying that over and over, and your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference. It will believe you. It will take you at your word. It's as if you're meeting someone for the very first time. You're on the phone with them. They can't see you. If you told them that I am in the best shape of my life and meanwhile you're 30 pounds overweight, what will that person believe on the phone? They can't see you. They don't know any different. They will believe you. So we want to speak words to our subconscious mind, because our subconscious mind is like that other person that we just spoke to on the phone. They're listening and whatever words we give it, it's going to give you more of the same. Got it? Make sense, perfect.

Speaker 1:

Let's jump on now to number seven. Your mind is not evil. Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends how you use the powers of nature. Use the mind to bless, heal and inspire all people everywhere.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I want to teach you this little trick. This is a trick that you can use anytime if you want to get better at the words that you're bringing into your own subconscious mind. This is what you do. When you hear someone else say something negative about themselves, you jump in and you take words and you plant them in their subconscious mind. Example someone says oh man, I can never lose weight, I'm so bad at it. You say to them hey, maybe up until now it's been a struggle for you, but I want to tell you, I believe in you. I've seen you do some amazing things and I know that you just keep getting better and better, and this is going to become an easier and easier process for you. What did you just do? You did two things. One you planted words into their subconscious mind. And let me ask you this question who else did you plant those words into who else's subconscious mind?

Speaker 1:

Yours, and so your mind is getting used to hearing these kind of words. It doesn't know, it hears it and it thinks you're also speaking to yourself. So when you say negative things to other people, what are you also saying to yourself? You're saying negative things. So the more positive we are with others, the more those words are going into our own subconscious mind and the more power we're creating in our own life. So to go around and to always look for opportunities to praise and give other people words of encouragement and words of love, you are doing the same for yourself, because your subconscious mind can't differentiate between them and you. It knows that these words are coming right into the subconscious mind, them and you. It knows that these words are coming right into the subconscious mind. Does that make sense? So you have a lot of power, and your power is how can I leave people with the impression of increase? How can I leave them better than I found them? And the more that you do that, the more you're leaving yourself better than you originally were.

Speaker 1:

Speak kindness to others and you're speaking kindness to yourselves. Speak words of encouragement to others and you're speaking kindness to yourselves. Speak words of encouragement to others and you're speaking words of encouragement to yourself. This is a power that is super strong and for some reason it's easier to encourage others when they say these words of negativity. That's fine. Use that power that you have to help program their subconscious mind in a very positive way and at the same time, you'll be programming yourself and by also sharing with other people, it's going to become easier for you to hear yourself when you say to yourself these words of encouragement and these words of positivity Does that make sense? Awesome, love it, let's move forward.

Speaker 1:

Number eight never say I can't Overcome the fear by substituting the following I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. So the next time you feel like you can't do something because maybe you don't feel like I'm not good enough, instead of saying I'm not good enough or I can't say out loud to yourself I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. When Michael Jordan was in high school and he got cut from his basketball team, he could have easily said I can't do this, I'm a failure. Instead, he got driven to say I can do anything I set my mind to and he went out and he kept practicing and getting better and better and he became one of the best players, if not the best ever to play the game. We have a choice. Remember there's going to be events that occur. Getting cut from the basketball team is an event. The response to that event is going to determine your outcome. He responded in a way that supported him in getting the result that he ultimately wanted.

Speaker 1:

How would you have responded in that situation? Would you have believed the coach because he was smarter than you? He seemed to know more than you, he's coached other players before or do you use the power of your own subconscious mind to prove every other person wrong? What other people say that are on the outside world? That will not impact you unless you allow it. If that coach says you can't do it, the only way that becomes true is if you allow it to become true by allowing your response to be I can't do this. What's wrong with me? Something's really wrong with me. I'm not good enough.

Speaker 1:

If you do that, your subconscious mind will give you more of that to believe and it will be your reality of life. Your words are super powerful. Use words that are going to support you in getting what you want. And if you're not sure what to say, what it says here, I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. I just repeated that three times and, believe it or not, that went into your subconscious too. What would happen if you start repeating that for yourself and others? You'll see what will happen. Life will start to shift for you and you'll start to notice that things start working out, because you keep saying I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind. Make sense, you have the power. You are unbelievably strong.

Speaker 1:

Do not believe what all the other people may have said to you in the past it's all BS, it's all a belief system. It's not true. It's something that you accepted to be true, which is not true, because our subconscious mind can be programmed with whatever we consistently give it. Therefore, whatever was there in the past doesn't mean it has to be there in our present and future, because we can choose right now to use words of encouragement, words of love, words of gratitude for ourself and others, and when we do that, what's going to happen? Your life is going to change, period.

Speaker 1:

All right, let's go on to the next one. Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and principles of life and not from the standpoint of fear, ignorance and superstition. Do not let others do your thinking for you. Choose your own thoughts and make your own decisions. Do your thinking for you, choose your own thoughts and make your own decisions. This is so powerful what it says Do not let others do your thinking for you. Why? Why shouldn't you allow them?

Speaker 1:

If your friend comes up to you and says you know what you should get out of that relationship, should you listen to your friend or should you trust your own instincts about what you should do for your own relationship? Should you make your own decisions? Should you think your own thoughts? Should you come up with your own response or are you better off listening to other people? If you consistently listen to other people, does that strengthen you or weaken you? Of course it's going to weaken you because you're not using the power of your own mind to make a decision. And when you make a decision and you practice making decisions, you're going to get stronger and stronger. And when you get stronger, you become more powerful. And when you become more powerful, you get more of the things that you want in your life.

Speaker 1:

And power comes through choice, a choice of how am I going to respond to this situation. Am I going to let that person who's talking on the outside? Am I going to let their words come in and control how I'm going to act in my life, or am I going to say, hey, thanks for sharing. I'm choosing to have my own thoughts, to speak my own words and to create my own life. Don't let other people control your life. You control your life. If you mess up, if you make a mistake, if you don't get the result that you want, how are you responding to that? Is it a growth experience? Can you learn something from it? Then that is a great thing, because you just got stronger and more powerful, because you learn from your own mistake. Better to learn from your own mistake than to just keep listening to other people tell you what to do and never learn and never get stronger. All right, let's continue here.

Speaker 1:

Number 10, you are the captain of your soul. You, listening right now, are the captain of your soul, which is your subconscious mind, and the master of your fate. Remember, you have the capacity to choose choose life, choose love, choose health, choose happiness, choose gratitude. You choose to go down the positive path consistently and you will have that in your life. You will have happiness, you will have peace, you will have the things that you want.

Speaker 1:

When I'm meeting with clients, it's really interesting. They give me this goal, mike, I want to make 700,000 this year, I want to make a million dollars this year. And I ask them this question how would you feel if you hit that goal? And most of them say I would feel peaceful. I would feel peaceful, I would feel freedom, I would feel happiness. But the question is why do we have to wait to hit our goal to feel those feelings? And when we have more of these feelings of peace, freedom and happiness, doesn't that actually put us on the frequency of our goal? Of course it does.

Speaker 1:

You're the captain of your soul, you're the captain of your subconscious mind. You choose Choose life, choose love, choose health, choose happiness. All right, we're going to go on to the last one, and this will end Chapter 2. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. If you don't read any more of the book and you just read that one sentence and you believe that one sentence, whatever your conscious mind, the thoughts that you're consistently thinking, the words that you're consistently speaking, that's your conscious mind, your thinking thoughts and your words, that you're speaking. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring the past. So, whatever you choose to think, whatever you choose to say on a consistent basis, it's going to be your reality. You are responsible. No one else out there is responsible for how you feel and how you think. That is all you, baby, and I hate to say it, but you got to take responsibility. Taking responsibility is saying there's nothing outside of me that controls the events of my life. It is my response to things that is going to control my outcome, and I'm choosing my response from now on. I'm not allowing other people out there to decide for me. All right, so let's go to that last sentence in this, which is believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action and all the blessings of life. You can choose.

Speaker 1:

Hearing this podcast this stuff doesn't work. He's so full of it. You just programmed yourself. You just use words to plant in your subconscious mind. You just said this doesn't work it. You just said this doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. Your reality is going to be it doesn't work. You have the choice to respond to an event. Your response can be this stuff doesn't work or it can be.

Speaker 1:

I have an unbelievable power in my subconscious. This power in my subconscious mind is incredible why it is controlling every aspect of my being. It controls my heartbeat. It controls my liver, controls my lungs, controls all trillion cells in my body. It controls my heartbeat, it controls my breathing, it controls my seeing, my hearing, my smelling, my tasting, my touching. You have that power. So for you to ever say to yourself I am not powerful, ever again, you're 100% wrong.

Speaker 1:

And you have to listen to this over and just keep using that response mechanism, that you have to respond in a way that's positive, that's loving, that's caring, not only towards others but towards yourself. And when you do that, your subconscious mind is going to give you a hug because it's going to say ah, finally, you're finally giving me stuff that I can give you back, which is positive love, kindness, abundance and all the things that you've been searching for. You've been looking outside, there, outside in the outside world, for the answer, and the funny thing is, all along, that answer is right inside of you. So that's what I want you to take away from today you have all the power to respond and you have all the power to have happiness and good things in your life. You have to make a choice, and when you make that choice and you don't allow the outside world to influence you anymore and the only way that happens is through practice when you do that, your life consistently changed. I love you, I wish you the best. Take this one and listen to it over and over again, because there's so much power in these 11 statements that we made today and you can't listen to them enough. The more you hear them, the better. So I appreciate you. I love you.

Speaker 1:

Share this podcast with other people that you think can use this. Don't just keep it to yourself. Don't say, oh, I don't want to share this. What if they think it's weird when they hear this? Don't make the judgment for them. Let them make the judgment for themselves and share it out with others, because think about the impact. If you're on podcast 11 now, this is having an impact on your life, and I know it is because you can't listen to 11 plus hours or less of this information and not have it impact you in a positive way. Keep sharing your love with others, keep making a difference, keep planting words of encouragement, kindness and love, and you're doing the same for yourself when you're doing it for others. Have a wonderful day and thanks for being here. See you next week.
