The Disaster of Negative Thinking

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” — Albert Einstein

The nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a real experience. It reacts to what you think and believe to be true. Conscious thoughts, put into the sub-conscious mind, have a self-fulfilling prophecy by influencing your behavior.

The subconscious mind makes no distinction between constructive and destructive thought impulses. It works with the material we feed it, through our thought impulses. The subconscious mind will translate into reality a thought driven by fear, power or greed just as readily as it will translate into reality the thought driven by courage or faith. However, no wealth or power will long endure, unless built on truth and justice.

Anger, fear, rage, anxiety, jealousy, hate, prejudice and resentfulness tear down and destroy your immune system and bring about mental and physical diseases of all kinds. All frustration is due to unfulfilled desires. If you dwell on obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind responds accordingly, and you are blocking your own good. What you affirm consciously and feel is true will be made manifest in your mind, body, and behavior.

The fundamental principal of autosuggestion works for the glory and success of mankind, if it is used constructively. It will destroy just as readily if used destructively. Those who end their lives in poverty, misery, and distress, do so because of negative application of the principle. The cause may be found in the fact that all impulses of thought have a tendency to clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.

Keep your conscious mind busy with positive expectation of the best, and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce your habitual thinking. Think good and good follows. Think evil and evil follows. You are what you think all day long. Whatever you conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.

Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!

“There are millions of people who believe they are doomed to poverty and failure, because of some strange force over which they have no control. They create their own misfortune, because of this negative belief, which is picked up by the subconscious mind, and translated into its physical equivalent.

It is essential that we encourage the positive emotions as dominating forces of our mind, and eliminate negative emotions. A mind dominated by positive emotions, becomes a favorable abode for the state of mind known as faith. A mind so dominated may, at will, give the subconscious mind instructions, which it will accept and act upon immediately.” -Napoleon Hill
