The words that you read somehow seem to be more believable than if someone speaks them. That is not to discount what a well qualified person says, that dude might be as sharp as a cafeteria meatball; it's just way we learned from our childhood.

We believe what we read in books; it's a subconscious function, until we come across some scatterbrain that's full of alphabet soup. When he says something that completely goes against our personal beliefs or what we know to be true.

Let her Rip!

Let's look at some specifics: Let's take a person who is bothered by timidity. You already know what I think of fear; it's about as useful as a yard full of pump water.

Well, what's opposite of timidity? Aggressiveness! So, how can a person with fear motivate himself to round third and head for home? Two ways; first, by repeating as an example, "be aggressive", frequently throughout day.

He should do this especially when in a situation that causes fear. And, say "Do it now". Secondly, read books and articles that direct his mind in direction he wants it to go. If problem area is fear, he will want to read self help books about success and motivation.

The words that he reads will make an impression on his subconscious. That's why I caution people to be very careful what they read.

You will become what you feed your mind on. The subconscious is like a sponge. It will soak up anything and everything you feed it. And, it couldn't care less if you've strayed off reservation and now stewing in your own juice.

The Ball's in Your Court!

So, here is your formula for personal achievement. Read something that inspires you and then, to be enthusiastic, ACT enthusiastic. Or, whatever you're attempting to do. A great psychologist once said "if we act as if we feel in any given way, in time our feelings catch up with our actions".

And action can be physical or it can be mental. A thought can be stimulating but it's action that causes change in behavior from one direction to another.

Here are some techniques to help you. When you repeat an expression that you wish to use in changing a behavior, say it "loudly." This is particularly important if you are emotionally upset. If you have a fear of something like speaking in public, talk loudly.

Talk rapidly. Your mind functions faster when you speak rapidly. Plus, your mind doesn't have time to tell you that your doing something you're afraid of because you're too busy thinking of next sentence.

Emphasize words that are important in context of your situation. Example: If you are worried, say "PEACE", loudly and rapidly with emphasis to make an impression on subconscious. It will listen and will bring about peace to your emotions.

Your Mission In Life!

But, most important, and always, Do It Now!! . If you will do this, you will prove to yourself that you can motivate yourself to action and create desirable change to any behavior you want. Now, go look in mirror at that Cheshire-Cat Smile. :>)

Remember that our current physical world is a result of collective world consciousness. The wars, terrorism and disunity among countries at this time is direct result of choas and stress in our current world.

To change this one has to start at beginning. With ourselves.

And it's not as big a job as it appears. There is already a ground-swell of increasing spirituality emerging in our world. More and more people are accepting responsibility of directing their own lives, both physically and spiritually. More and more are finding out for themselves dramatic effects of positive thoughts on their own lives and on lives of others.

If this is really true then why not put this principle to work now? It may be just as simple as making decision to collectively increase our positives thoughts and feelings and neutralizing negative ones in this very stressful time.

Shall we put it to test?

Here are my personal aims:

I can choose to focus on facts of case, listening only to keep informed.

I can choose to 'know' that good will triumph over evil.

I can choose to pray for coalition leaders in their decision-making resulting in a speedy positive resolution to this war.

I can choose to help troops and country though letters, goods or donations to many related programs.

I can choose to remain loving, joyful and centered regardless.

I can choose to do my work to best of my ability regardless.

I can choose to fight this war in THIS way.
