You Can't Help But Succeed.

It is funny way our minds work. Our conscious mind deals with world, accepting, rejecting, sorting, storing, forming opinions and generally letting us get on with out lives. But beneath that there is a powerful force that we ignore at out peril.
Our subconscious mind can be an incredibly useful tool, or a hidden enemy. It doesn't care either way.
The subconscious runs as a background program. Its main purpose seems to be to make things happen. Anything that it perceives as a requirement to your continued wellbeing.
Unfortunately, it has no ability to make a value call beyond limited feedback it gets from your consciousness.
How does this work? Lets us assume that you are painfully shy. Something may have happened to you at age of five to make you embarrassed in public. Your subconscious has observed that event 'x' produced unwanted response 'y' so forever after alters its programming to minimize risk of you being exposed to event 'x' again.
Another example. All your life you have heard people saying that business success is 'risky', that so-and-so lost his home after a business failed, that Joe down road worked so hard building his business that his wife and kids left him. What does your subconscious do with this input? It tries to protect you from suffering same fate by making you uneasy about success, suspicious about winning.
So when you are in a position to take a step towards your own personal success, something holds you back.
In this way, subconscious always succeeds. You may perceive consciously that you have failed, but your subconscious has succeeded in its aims.
We are all filled with negative programming and are busy succeeding at any number of things that may not match our conscious desires.
Is this all bad? Not at all! When our subconscious drives match our conscious desires there can be no stopping us. When we can drive forward with no doubts, no little voices in back of our heads telling us that this project or that idea is too big, there is almost no limit to what we can achieve.
