Want to build wealth? Close your mouth and open your mine.
Over many years I have talked to thousands of individual about building wealth, and I have learned that too many people can not and do not build wealth because they don't listen. Instead, they dispute or reject valuable information because they are too busy talking.
In this blog I am posting an insert from my book U's Rules for Financial Success: How To Unlink The Poverty Chain, rule 19, Close your mouth and open your mind.
Close Your Mouth and Open Your Mind
It has been said, “God gave us two ears and one mouth so we can talk less and listen more”. I will take it one step further and say close your mouth and open your mind. The reason I say this is because many people miss-out on good information and great opportunities because they talk too much and have closed minds.
The basic principle is that whatever your mind can imagine it can create. How does it do this? What your mind thinks, sees, believes, and feels is all sent to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind then works with the universe and creates your reality based on the messages that began in your mind. But it is not enough to simply imagine it and then hope it happens. That is not the way it works. If you can imagine it, you can achieve it -- but you need to know how to use the power of your mind. The great writer Napoleon Hill reveals this in every one of his books. But he does not tell you how to use all your powers.
Your mind can create wonderful things for you -- if you know how to use it and how to send the right messages to your subconscious mind. Most people do not know how to do this. Instead, they go through life never really using the power of their mind.
Doctors now passionately believe that 75% of all sickness and disease start in the mind, 75-Percent! That is an exceptionally large amount. That means that a lot of people who are sick today -- are only sick because they did not know how to use their mind.
Some Doctors will even tell us that most sickness and disease are caused by stress. This is another event that starts in the mind.
Scientists have long said that we only use 10% or less of our brain. 10-percent -- that is it. Think of going through life only spending 10-percent of your salary. Could you, do it? No! Yet most people go through life using only 10% of their brain. That 10-percent is creating a lot of sickness because we do not even know how to use it properly.
Imagine if we only used 10% of our brain correctly? What would happen? What would happen if we learned to use 30% of our brain correctly? The results would be astounding!
The mind is an incredible and powerful source – unfortunately for some people no one ever taught them how to effectively use this powerful resource. Throughout our entire life we have been taught how to do everything, but no one ever taught you how to “Properly” use your mind.
Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich, wrote that if we think properly, we can grow rich. But he was not just talking about financial gain. He was talking about making our lives rich. Napoleon Hill taught people how to use their minds so that they could continually “Think and grow rich” throughout life.
To create the things, you want in life you must first take control of your mind. It does not matter what else you do. If you do not learn to work with your mind -- nothing else will work. Most of us have seen people awfully close to us ruin their lives because they did not want to use the power of their mind. No matter what others tell them they refuse to take control of their mind. They refuse to work with it and use it to its full potential. I have seen people struggle and then tell me “That’s just the way life is and the way it was meant to be." Let me make one thing clear: NOTHING IS MEANT TO BE BUT DEATH.
The subconscious mind is an incredible power that most people fail to develop and use to its full potential.
To utterly understand just how powerful, the subconscious mind is, you must first understand and accept that there is no such thing as coincidence. Nothing happens by chance.
Your subconscious mind creates everything in your life based on the messages and information you send to it. You are constantly sending messages and information to your subconscious mind and 90% of those messages are useless or are working against you. Then you wonder why things never get better no matter how hard you try.
Your messages to your subconscious mind are your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. So, if you constantly worry about not having enough money -- you will never have enough money. It is that simple. If you do not think you can accomplish your goals -- you will never accomplish any of them. If you do not think there are enough opportunities for you -- you will never find the right opportunity. If you do not think you can get ahead in life -- you will never get ahead in life. If you think you are overweight -- you will always be overweight. If you do not think you can -- then you never will. Why? Because your subconscious mind is always working on the information you send it -- and if that information is negative then you will only have a negative reality.
Once your subconscious mind gets your message it then connects with the people and events that will help create the situation based on your message. So, if you think it is difficult to make money your subconscious mind will go out and draw you to people and events that will make it difficult for you to make money.
It is important to understand that your messages to your subconscious mind are not just your thoughts! Everything you do, say, and believe is picked up by your subconscious mind. So just because you start thinking you can -- that does not mean that things will miraculously change overnight. To get your subconscious mind to create the changes you want -- then you need to create a new way of thinking and living. And the first thing you must do is get your mind working for you and not against you. Always think positive and THINK BIG!
