The Starting Point of All Achievement

My thoughts on chapter 2 of Think And Grow Rich.

Desire:

My thoughts are the starting point. I must chose
a definite goal and place all my energy, all my
will power, all my effort, everything, back of
that goal.

I think the biggest obstacle for me is actually
seeing myself in possession of the kind of money
that I desire. I have been so programed to failure
that my subconscious mind keeps putting that
message out there without being consciously
aware of it.

Hill writes, "Here is where a BURNING DESIRE
will come to your aid. If you truly DESIRE money
so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you
will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that
you will acquire it. The object is to want money,
and to become so determined to have it that
you convince yourself you will have it."

OK, here is a trigger point for me....
[The object is to want money]
Having been brought up in a strong Baptist
based faith belief, "money is the root of all
evil", the desire to have it, programed my mind to
judge myself as a bad person.

If I was worthy of God's love, I should not
have a desire to "want money", and if I did,
I was unworthy.

Wow, I am beginning to see and understand
the programing and how it has affected my life.
By thinking that money is evil, it will never
come to me. So changing my thoughts about
money, I can attract it to me.

Hill says, "You can never have riches in great
quantities unless you can work yourself into a
white heat of desire for money, and actually
believe you will possess it.

Now, I know a white fire is mighty HOT !
I believe that the past three years of dealing
with my husbands illness and preparing for
the inevitable, I worked myself into a white
heat of desire for his wellness and well being.
God had His own desire and plan for Gaylord
and took him Home. All of this has brought me
to a turning point where I have found my other self.

I am on a mission to change my world and
discover the genius which lies asleep within.
For I know that when I set my mind to a mission,
it comes to be. My mission has always been
about someone else and never about me.

I've lived in a yellow care giving mode all of
my life, secretly desiring the fun that blues
possess and frightened to death of a red's
short temper experienced during my childhood.
Only to discover, this past week while visiting
my dear friend and mentor, Sarah Thompson,
that I have some pretty strong green traits.

So, here it is, my burning desire, for right now,
is to find, nurture and believe in Judy. If I can
do this for others, I can and will, do it
for myself. I have always been sure that there
was a way to be successful with a home based
business and Mentoring For Free has come to
show me "How"

Gratefully, Your Friend
