Thought Control Equals Success - Part One

If you have heard this before then I really don’t care because you are going to hear it again and one more time won’t kill you – “The only reason you are not successful now is YOU” Everything that you have or don’t have in your life is a direct result of your thoughts. Why? Because your thoughts drive your emotions, which in turn controls your actions - good or bad.

When I was younger I had little thought control. If I had important things to do to make me successful, I would straight away ditch these if somebody called me to spend a mindless, legless evening in a bar. Now I am not saying that you shouldn’t relax and play – I do this a lot but always after I have finished the important stuff first.

You have to be prepared to make some sacrifices in order to achieve your success. Time is a crucial factor – don’t waste it in front of the TV or in a bar. I lost many years doing this.

Back to your thoughts then. You may know that you have at least two minds (some will argue that you have three but we will stick with two for now). They are your conscious and subconcious minds. Your conscious is awake when you are and is responsible for the constant dialogue going on in your head. Your subconscious is awake even when you sleep and is the key to your success. Everything that you have learned or experienced in your life is stored in your subconscious. It doesn’t discriminate between good or bad things; if your conscious mind lets it in it will store it.

More tomorrow………..
