Chapter 25

In fact, the reason why this person was able to jump from a blacksmith to a king is largely related to the strong desire in his heart-driven by this strong desire, the blacksmith stimulated his own potential and finally made his life A qualitative change has taken place.

Make Desire Cards
Take three or four cards (three or four pages ripped off a pad will do as well).Think about what the one thing you most desire is.When you have an answer and are convinced that it is your highest wish, write a verbal description of it on top of one of the cards.A word or two may suffice—for example, "a salaried job," "a good salary," or "a house of my own."

Then copy the verbal description on the original card on each of the remaining cards.Keep one in your purse or bag, one on the wall next to your bed, another secured to a full-length mirror or dresser, and one secured to your desk.

By doing this, as you might have guessed, you can see your desired goals 24 hours a day.Just use this power to focus your thoughts before you go to bed at night and when you wake up in the morning.But don't settle for just two periods of the day.Because the more you imagine your wish this way (or with a method of your own devising), the faster it will come true.

At first, you may have absolutely no idea how to make the above methods work.However, don't worry about that.Well leave that to the subconscious though, it has its own way of making connections and finding means and avenues that you may never have thought of.You will receive help from the most unexpected sources, and ideas useful for completing your plans will appear at the most unexpected times.An idea may pop into your head, such as calling someone you haven't seen in a long time, or writing an email to someone you've never met.You may have a sudden urge to read the newspaper or listen to the radio.Whatever comes to your mind, listen to it.

Before you can afford something, you must first express a strong enough desire for him, and you must always be ready to pay the price for obtaining this item.The price is that you have to give up other small desires that prevent you from achieving this desire for the sake of this greatest desire.Comfort, ease, leisure, recreation, and many other such habitual states, you must give up.

The subconscious mind holds the software for involuntary functions, emotions and habits.Most of your habits and emotional responses were programmed at an early age, when you had no ability to filter them.Psychologist Freud once mentioned: The emotional response methods learned in childhood are often carried into adulthood.In adulthood, we don't know how to advance and retreat, so adults usually respond in the same way as children.These old programs are still influential and can have adverse consequences for your actions if not properly controlled.

Think back, have you ever had the experience of setting your own destination before driving and unknowingly driving somewhere else.Let’s take going to work as an example. You used to take the same route to work every day, but recently, construction often caused traffic jams on the way, so you consciously planned another driving route for yourself.Unfortunately, however, you still unknowingly embark on the old road of congestion.

This habit of "walking the old road" is the result of subconsciousness.It's like our autopilot, it can drive itself without you needing to do anything.In the rush of mornings, when our conscious minds are already filled with countless work plans, tasks, and other priorities, our autopilot (subconscious mind) easily takes control and directs We are driving the old way to work, and there is nothing we can do about it but issue new orders and slowly correct it.

Obviously, "going the old way" seems more natural and energy-saving to our conscious mind, that is, unless I have to adjust my subconscious mind (i.e. habit), otherwise, I will not hesitate to repeat similar choices.

Indeed, although we have consciously noticed the bad traffic conditions and the reality that driving on the old road will inevitably lead to being late for work, but before our subconscious minds have adjusted accordingly, we can only face this dilemma: because we Our subconscious mind takes control of our steering wheel and chooses the old road. Of course, it is inevitable to stop in the congested queue and become restless.

When the conscious mind and subconscious mind clash, the subconscious mind wins, so if you know how to control your subconscious mind, you can win.You will learn how to influence and control the subconscious mind without being controlled by the subconscious mind.The conscious mind can direct the subconscious mind to act, change habits, and reverse the negative way of thinking, improving your physical and mental health. Our conscious mind even has the ability to affect involuntary functions.Meaning, your conscious mind becomes the master and your subconscious mind becomes your steed.

From here we can see that changing the habit (subconscious mind) is the key to the problem.We need to communicate and communicate with the subconscious mind consciously, and then carry out necessary training for it, and finally generate a new set of subconscious operating procedures.

Controlling potential and changing habits (subconscious mind) is not an easy task, but a protracted battle.It requires people to return to the depths of their hearts to explore themselves, and it also requires people to ask themselves and balance needs in the most practical reality. The struggle, anxiety and fear in it can only be borne by those who are truly brave enough to face themselves and life.
