Good Morning,
Welcome New Recipients!
My current read is “The Secret Code of Success: 7 Hidden Steps to More Wealth and Happiness” by Noah St. John (http://www.successclinic.com/).
Early on in the book, Noah St. John poses an interesting proposition as to why people do not achieve their goals and seem to be living life with one foot on the brake pedal.
Our brain is composed of the conscious and sub-conscious aspects, with the conscious part (what we consider to be us) comprising about 10% of our brain functions. The other 90%, the subconscious drives a good part of our life, yet we rarely see what it is thinking, believing and doing.
This unknown can cause a fear of success to prompt us to put our foot on the brake pedal just when we are starting to get moving in life.
The process of getting my own book published has been a slow one. Part of the reason is due to the above. I knew I wanted to share a book with the world, and I had many of you urging me to do the same. Yet, as I came closer and closer to the publishing of the book, there seemed to be a growing resistance to actually getting it completed, most of it in my own mind.
This resistance was small fears, like will I just be throwing my money away, will I be laughed at for self-publishing and having a poorly written book, and many others, especially, I am very busy, how can I put time into writing and publishing a book with everything else I am expected and want to do?
I found that by facing these fears I was able to shut them down, one by one. When the fears would not get out of the way, I prayed. And in the end, you know that the book did get published.
We can let that 90% unknown in our sub-conscious stop up by giving in to the fears and concerns which will mount up if we let them.
To show this, just try counting up all the reasons not to go back to school and improve yourself. You will find that the list against doing it will often grow larger than the list for doing it. The more time you spend ruminating on why you can’t, the reasons will mount. Silly reasons will start looking good and sensible.
Our subconscious mind is very powerful, and we need to better understand it if we are to succeed in our endeavors. The first step is to understand that it can cause us to slow down whenever we are moving in the right direction.
More to come on this highly recommended book!
Enjoy!
