Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
moments in your life that take your breath away.

Chapter 1

Thoughts Become Things

It’s amazing that as I read through this chapter, my
mind brings to life so many memories. Many of failure
and some of success.

It would be so easy for me to write about how my life
has been impacted by so many of the principles that
are talked about in this chapter alone. However for
the sake of time and to keep this lesson short, I
will focus on two words.

Faith and Fear

When reading the part about the small colored child
who went in and demanded fifty cents from Mr. Darby’s
Uncle and refused to take no for an answer. It brought
to mind how I met my wife.

Here was a small child who stood with faith and
determination,stepped into fear to get what she wanted.

For me, after failing in two other relationships I just
about had given up. I was so afraid of what the next
relationship would bring. So fearful of what could
happen that my mind was stay focused on all the past
hurt and pain that I went through.

Finally I stopped focusing my energy on the negative
and started creating positive thoughts of what my ideal
relationship would be like. What I was willing to give
to the relationship and what I wanted in return.

I focused so much on it that I even started focusing
on the very person that I wanted to be with.

Here’s the kicker. At this point in my life I had never
been in a social gathering with her, Sure I knew Amanda
from a seminar that I attended, but that was it.

Then through a series of unusual events we started
seeing more and more of one another through mutual
friends. Boy did I have a crush on her.

Finally, Sue,  a friend of ours called me up and asked
me when I was going to tell Amanda how I was feeling.

Boy did it hit me then. FEAR. So much so that I was
sick to my stomach. At the same time there was about a
thousand volts of excitement coursing through my body.

I will always remember what our friend Sue said to me
on that call.

What you are feeling right now is what it feels like to
really risk in your life. What it means to step outside
your comfort zone.

So you have one of two choices turn and run from it, or
step into it.

Just like the little colored girl.

I decided to step into the fear that day. To take a
risk. Maybe the words were not perfect when I called
Amanda and maybe she could here the quivering in my
voice. But none of that mattered.

I stood in that fear, determined to say what I needed
to say and have faith enough that what was suppose to
happen would happen.

Faith and Fear at times go hand in hand. Many times
that fear is just the nudge of success setting in or
letting you know that you are getting close.

Well just like the little colored girl who walked out
with her fifty cents. That phone call to Amanda led to
our first date and eventually marriage.

Thoughts really do become things and everything that I
ever imagine and wished our marriage would be, has been
eclipsed by even greater outcomes.

Amazing what a little faith brings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first time I was on the Mental Cleanse, I became
aware of all the negative influence that was in my life.

As I shut off the TV, radio, stopped being around
negative people, I really began to realize how much
my surroundings affect my thoughts. Then I met, I mean
really met my worst enemy, ME. Now this was harder to
shut down. A TV or a radio simply has a switch.

So I began to do my self talk throughout the day as
well as a daily ritual of meditation and things are
really starting to click in my blue brain.

I had a breakthrough in those first 90 days about my
fear of poverty. But what I realize now is that it
wasn’t so much the fear, but the thoughts that I had
that manifested the fear. Here is what I mean.

I would think about what things would be like when I
was financially free. Because thoughts are things,
right? So I would think, When I am financially free,
then I will really be happy.

So it is almost as if I was saying to myself, I can’t
be happy now if I am not financially free. So I am
realizing that I had it all backwords.  You need to
first be happy. Smile. Feel wonderful. Be blessed.
Thank God for your blessings.

Now in this happy state that I am in, I am in a
vibrational place where I am sending out thoughts
of expectancy. I know it is coming but in Gods time,
not mine.

The universe will give me what I think about. So now
I choose to be happy and blessed. I choose to expect
abundance. And abundance I receive.

It’s funny how we send vibrations out to the universe.
As if the universe wanted to give me proof…

I came across a book at the library by Deepack Chopra.
I turned to a random page and he was talking about what
we all really want is the same thing… to be happy.

When you have a conversation with yourself and ask
the question, what do I want? Answer that question
and then ask  yourself why? Then answer that question
and then again ask why. You will always come to the
same answer. “Because I want to be happy.”

It works like this…

“I want to be Rich.”

Why?

Because, I want to not have to worry about bills.

Why?

Because I will live longer and not feel stressed.

Why?

Because I want to be here to see my grandkids.

Why?

Because I want to enjoy them and my kids. I want to
live my life. I want to be happy.

You see it isn’t about being Rich. What I really want
is to be Happy!

We all want the same thing and we will all come to
the same answer when asking the question, Why.

Why not be happy now? Live as if I am already rich?

Because, you know I am. I am Rich. I am blessed. Live
an abundant life. The universe will only see me as rich
and prosperous and it will have no choice but to send
me what is expected.

I think, Michael, This is what you call owning your
life.

I appreciate you.

Chapter One,
I really connected with chapter one when hill mentioned
that opportunity presented itself in failure. Its what
we do with failure that makes us great.

Back when I started my venture I was with a company that
I thought was great. My upline supported and encourged
buying leads. If that is what my upline did to go from
0 to $100,000 per month, then I will start. $600 later
I sponsored one lady that lived in Florida? She was so
excited, I could not bring myself to tell her to go and
buy leads.

So I told her the truth and I moved on.Opportunity
presents itself in strange ways. Hill states that
before success comes we are sure to be met with
temporary defeat. That could have been mine.

I have a good job, a beautiful family, a nice home.
My mother lives next door to me. I am blessed in so
many ways and now take the time to be thankful every
day for these things.

I tell you this not to brag but to explain my “Why”
as it relates to chapter 1.

All I every wanted to do is work. I could not wait to
turn 16 so I could start working. By the time I was 17
I did not care about school anymore, as a matter of fact
I was skipping so much that I began to fail classes.

Everyday in the afternoon I could not wait to go to
work? I failed a grade but continued to work…chasing
that dollar and trading time for it. When I was 18 all
of my friends were getting ready to graduate so I
decided to join the Army.

Well the recruiter told me that I needed to get my high
school diploma. Well I did not want to wait another year.
He told me about a program in Chapel Hill that I could
get my GED from in a couple of months.

I got the address and went that day. When I arrived I
told the lady I was here to get my GED. She began to
explain that I needed to take 6 courses, one at a time.

When I was done with each course I would test on that
topic. She stated that I could take as long as I needed
on each topic before I tested. There I was, like Barnes,

standing before that lady and all I needed to here was
that I could take as long as I needed.

So, I asked her if I  could take a test today. She
looked at me and thought for a moment, well sure. You
see I was there to get my GED. I left there that day,
after taking all 6 test and passing them.

I got drunk that night and laughed at all of the
“suckers” that stayed in high school. The next day
I joined the Army.

I repeated this once again in my life when I was told
that I could not get a job in law enforcement with only
a GED. Again I stood there saying I will do this..this
is what I want.

Today 14 years later I have been a police officer at
a department of over 500 sworn..worked most divisions.
promoted to corporal, first line supervisor and I am
currently on the list to make Sergeant.

Again….Barnes standing there….or that little girl
getting that fifty cents….man I loved chapter 1.

Its what I wanted to do and no matter what I was going
to do it.Mentoring for Free, The Success Team Builders,
…this big family is what I want to do. I feel at home
and so close to so many of you that I have not even met
yet.

I am master of my fate and Captain
of my Soul….how exciting is that?

Chapter 1. Thoughts Are Things

This is my third time through the book…not counting
the times that I read it prior to the Mental Cleanse…
you know…the times when I couldn’t figure out why
this book was supposed to be such a big deal…it
even seemed a little boring to me then.

So much for the idea of a “30 Day” Mental Cleanse…
My First Time on Mental Cleanse started nearly
7 months ago on January 2, 2008.  I think my life
actually started in a new way on that day…And
Now…Finally…the Words “THINK AND GROW RICH”
are popping off the page at me as I read this chapter
so many times that I think I have it memorized.

The process has been so gradual that it’s tough to
even measure the difference in how I feel now
compared to seven months ago.  I think it is my
Belief level that’s changed….the KNOWING of it to
be the Truth and the Acceptance of that FACT
into my Being.  I no longer need to THINK ABOUT
whether or not I can believe that THOUGHTS ARE
POWERFUL…I KNOW IT NOW.  It’s difficult to
believe that I haven’t ALWAYS known it.  Every
day of our lives, we prove it to be true.

Maybe AWARENESS is what is happening now. It feels
like I’m about to explode with the realization
of this TRUTH.  And yet, I am also aware that if I
do not use this Basic Truth in a constructive way,
I am choosing to use this Basic Truth against My
Self.  And there would be NO reason that I would
choose to do that if I am remembering that my
Thoughts Are Powerful Things…
especially when I activate them with emotion.

I have grown to respect My Thoughts in a way that has
never happened to me before.  My Thoughts backed by
Definiteness of Purpose, Persistence, AND a BURNING
Desire for their translation into riches or other
material objects…Have I defined in my Mind Exactly
What IDesire?  Have I adopted that DEFINITE PURPOSE
and am I standing by that purpose UNTIL it has time
to become an ALL-CONSUMING OBSESSION?

My Answer is “YES” and I Must Remember At ALL
Times…IT IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THAT COUNTS!

I CAN THINK AND GROW RICH!
Friends Always,
Patti Blevins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1

From the story of Mr Barnes going into business with
Edison a great number of things can be learned…Mr
Barnes didn’t just show up at Edison’s door and
immediately go into business with Edison, It took
time. He did what he had to do and kept taking action
to be able to one day see his desire come true.

I see people in this business that seem to be success
ful over night while I am still working to get every
thing right and wonder what am I doing wrong? Then I
stop and think, I don’t know how long they have been
working on the same things I’m working on right now.

Michael went from nothing to the number 1 distributor
in his company in 33 months, but he had been working
on himself for twenty some years before.

I’ve been around this business for over twenty some
years but I haven’t been working on the correct process
until the last year and a half so why do I keep beating
myself up asking myself why I’m not where Michael is?

I must keep working on myself and taking the small
little actions on a daily basis and one day people
will look at me and say I want to be where he is and
all they will have to do is follow the recipe and ask
for help and then one day they will be able to help
others reach their goals.

The only way  I can truly fail is to quit and if I keep
working towards my goals the chances are that I will be
better off before I even reach my final goal.

Chapter 15:
HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR

I know this is getting to you very late, I really
struggled with the devil himself on this chapter.
So much so that my back mussels went into
spasms.

Old Man Worry - Hill writes _
An unsettled mind is helpless. Indecision makes
an unsettled mind.

I guess I never thought of worry this way and I must
confess, I do my share of worrying. Growing up,
I worried if Mom would make it home from work,
or if Dad would come home upset and angry or not
come home at all.

I grew up in poverty, many times I remember we had no
lights or phone because there was no money to pay
the bills.Or we ate toast and milk for supper. In the
cold Minnesota winters, blankets from the Salvation
Army would hang on my bedroom wall as insulation
to keep the cold out, We only had a space heater
in the living room to heat our four room house, and that’s
not four bedrooms, just four rooms for the five of us.
I remember when I was a teenager being
approached at the grocery store for the keys to the car.
The car was being reposed. How cool was that for a
teenager to experience, NOT cool at all.

I can be a real camelion and hide what is going on
inside of me quite well. Until my body starts to speak
to me in painful ways. I don’t really know where I’m
going with this lesson, other than I recognize I have issues
with the six Ghosts of fear and I take warning.

So, with out going back to dig up any more stuff that’s
in the past, I am pushing
forward to claim my willpower and put it into
constant use, until, as Hill says it, until it builds a wall of
immunity against negative influences in my mind.
.
I am charging ahead to conquer this beast once and for all.
If I stay close to the fire, close to my mentors and close
to my own thoughts, new habits will form and I will
“conquer self and force life to pay whatever I ask of it.

Thank you Michael, Linda and Sarah, for believing in me
while I re-build and strengthen belief in myself.

Your Friend for life,
Judy Narum

Chapter 15
The Six Ghosts Of Fear

I have lived and breathed Fear of Poverty my entire life. Every single
person in my life has added a stitch to my custom tailored suit of Fear
of Poverty and it has absorbed into every cell of my being and made itself
at home there.

That is every person in my life until now.

Every person I have ever known (up until now) speaks badly of someone else,
second guesses their choices, plants seed of doubt, adds a negative thought
vibration. They all have some comment about people who have money to bring
them down a notch. That they didnt do legitimate work to earn it, the bank owns
them or they are drug dealers or some other put down to say that these
rich people dont
deserve to have wht they earned, and every other example that Hill
listed as symptoms.

I too have participated it that crap. Its like a gigantic
merry-go-round that you
cant get off and yet you need to question what happens if I dont?
It will be the battle of my life time.

I am married to a Green ( at first I thought him Red), his programming is very
deep rooted. He is not taking this journey with me. My mother is a
Yellow personality
also has some very deep hurts and has accepted poverty or so it seems
to me. I live
with her also along with my 17 yr old son. He loves “The Secret” movie.
So at times it seems its us against them. Trying to keep the negatives away.

None of them bad mouth, or try to hinder what I am doing with my MLM.
But neither
do they ask how its going. You can feel the doubt oozing off of them. This is
not a situation I can easily remedy. It will be a harder battle for
me to fight with
their extra resistance on me but I know I can win despite that.

I have to. I have to for my sake, but I also need to do it for their sake.
They were there when I needed them and I wont leave them behind. If at sometime
they are still not on board, then they and it will be them, that make
the choice to go.
And I will be okay with that.

As I travel this journey, I have grown gradually stronger, I can see
it. I do however
have some very bad days where I am really depressed and negative and
now I even fly into
rages. I never used to be like that.

At first I thought it was PMS But then the timing was off for that.
So recently I started
to look back to figure out when it started to happen.

I have come to this ah ha moment and realized that I started getting
crabby and moody
when I started my self talks a few months ago. Seeing as this is my
3rd time through this
particular chapter. Its the one I started the Cleanse on. 31 weeks ago.

So over a period of 31 weeks my moods have gotten increasingly worse.
Now I fly into a
rage over what seems like afterwards, nothing. I can not control
what comes out of my mouth.
I do not feel any positive emotions in this state. In a lot of ways
it feels like drowning.
Some may say that I am trying to push my husband
away because he is the one who takes the hit. But that isnt it. At
first it may have been
a test but its different now.

It feels as if my old self is being pushed out by my new self and self
talk. It is
resisting the changes and is putting up a fight to stay.

My good days lately have become more frequent. I feel more peaceful
and I feel more genuine
when I talk to people. Not just in my business either. I can feel my
money agenda subsiding
to.

But then the pendulum switches direction…I look in my bank account
and go over the budget
to make the puzzle pieces fit. I question how will there be enough to
go around. How will I
be able to go to my company’s convention in Aug.

I become angry because I KNOW if I would have set some money aside
each month starting when I
learned when convention was (Since last years convention) I could
have easily had my passport
in place, money for a plane ticket, which I could have probably also
paid for an extra ticket for someone
to join me, and my other expenses. But because of this ridiculous
fear of Poverty, I procrastinated
I made excuses. I used my husbands fear of me traveling alone as an
excuse to get in my way of
my dreams and desires. I sabotaged myself.

I really could write more on the effects Fear of Poverty has had on
me. But that won’t change the
fact that, it is what I choose today that counts more.

I battle my demon everyday that wants me to look at my past and my
failures, if I do that, I give it
the edge it needs to win. I need to focus on what I want, who I want
to help and who I want to be. I need to chant to
myself that “Thoughts Are Things and we reap the rewards of our
dominating thoughts.”

These calls are saving me. I may not speak up and share very often,
ok at all, but I listen. I learn
something from each person here. I feel safe and secure that I am not
the only one fighting this battle
I have my battle that no one can win for me but me, but I am grateful
for the warriors by my side.

Thank you Michael and Linda for this group. I know if it werent for
you and Sarah,
I would accept poverty as “normal” and suffered in silence the rest of my life.

So the battle continues…

Thanks for your love, belief and patience.

Chapter 13, The Brain

Our brains are both sending and receiving stations.
They send and receive thoughts from other brains.In
this manner,we are all truly connected to each other.

Through our emotions our thought vibrations are
stepped up to a higher level which can then be sent
to others and to our own subconscious minds. We are
also more able to receive when emotion is mixed with
the thought.

This is the reason there are no accidents. This is
the reason we find ourselves where we are. What we
are broadcasting comes to us, positive or negative.

This is why the Mastermind works. And it is powerful
because it is not just one mind attracting something
but two or more and the power of it multiplies.

We get what we focus on, what we think about. This
mastermind group is very important for each of us
individually as it allows each of us to move for-
ward more quickly than if we were by ourselves.

When one of us has a real breakthrough, it creates
a way for the rest of us to do the same… And the
one who had the original breakthrough was able to
do that because of the help of the rest of the group.

It is like geese flying in formation where the
leaders break the trail for the rest of us to move
forward more easily.

Thank you Michael,
Cheryl Maples

Chapter 13

This chapter really put it all together for me.

I am starting to really practise these principles
daily.

I am seeing the importance of putting real emotion
into what my desires are.

I am focused on keeping the positive emotions so
strong in my mind that the negative ones do not
have any space or chance of creeping back in.

Doing my self talk as much as possible is so
important. It keeps me focused. I have noticed
that if I have some quite time and I start having
negative thought come to me, if I just say my
self talk and start to visualize my desires those
negative thought go away.

So I am now so much happier. I have gotten rid
of all those obstacles that were in my way.

I can now see the bright future that is ahead
of me. But I also see how great things are right
now.

I have such a strong and loving husband that
would not let even a stroke keep him from us.

I have a beautiful amazing daughter that has
filled my life with so much love and laughter.

I have a beautiful home that will not be taken
away from me. We have overcome so much and I
know that this is just the beginning.

Chapter 13,, THE BRAIN

This chapter makes sense and explains what
Hill said earlier about the power of the mastermind.

I liked his description of the huge number of cells
in the brain and his asking if they were all there
just for dealing with day to day physical problems.

I have not spent much time at all thinking about
meditation or esp, but I do know that there have
been many many times when Anna and I have said or
thought about the same thing, when neither of us
has been discussing it previously.

This has happened to me before with close friends,
so something must be going on!!

As I read the chapter again just now, I thought
about how Tom tells us that people make up their
minds about us in the first twenty seconds, and
how you tell us to call people with no agenda.

Could it be that our ‘transmitted’ messages are
stronger than our spoken messages?

If our mouth is saying we don’t have an agenda,
but our brain is transmitting that we do, which
message reaches the listener’s ear, or more
importantly the listener’s heart?

People’s body language will be more important
than their words every time, and perhaps their
brain language is most important of all.

The Brain.  My Lesson  7.9.08

I confess…..My brain has been swimming with so
much data this week following my awesome coaching
call with Sarah on Sunday afternoon and I’ve had
a challenge to settle down and write my lesson for
today.

I’ve actually read the chapter three or four times
and I am in awe!…..  Obviously, the brain is an
unbelievable piece of “equipment” that we generally
take for granted a good share of the time.

But when we actually stop to even consider the
potential of our amazing brains…WOW…

So…as I said…I confess…I dug out my lesson
on this chapter from last March and  guess what..
.it still works for me…

It gets overwhelming rather quickly for me when I
begin thinking about Hill’s explanations of the many
intangible forces in this Universe…most of which we
just take for granted every day and never really
think about them at all.  As he says, we humans
depend too much on our physical senses and most of
the time, we limit our knowledge to physical things
that we can see, touch, weigh, and measure.

Just as we’ve talked about in this group many times,
as young children, many times we’re programmed to
do just that…what you see is what you get; get your
head out of the clouds; get your feet back on the
ground; face reality; stop daydreaming; well…you
get the idea.

We are not encouraged to even think about the
intangible forces that affect our lives every day.
at least not much beyond reading about gravity in
science class anyway.

To consider the intangible forces of the world that
Hill speaks about…the rolling waves of the ocean;
gravity and all the unfathomable ways that it is at
work all around us; the forces of a thunderstorm and
of electricity…the list goes on and on.

Probably the intangible force that many of us have
probably thought about more often than some of the
others is the intangible force wrapped up in the soil
of the earth.

What little child hasn’t planted a tiny seed in a
cup of dirt for a special Mother’s Day gift and then,
fascinated by what that seed turned into…presented
it with total delight…and ignorance about what
happened?

And are we not still totally “in the dark” about how
those garden seeds turn into a mountain of produce
throughout the summer as we tend and nurture what
those tiny seeds have become.

But yet, even that most familiar intangible force…
planting a seed in the soil…we have faith, we expect,
and we watch that spot in the dirt…just waiting and
expecting and having faith that any moment we will
see something pop up through the soil and then…
we pretty much take it for granted again.

But, when we actually focus on the miracle of what
these intangible forces produce in our lives…it is
absolutely awesome.

But what about the greatest of all the intangible
forces…the force of our thoughts?  How often do we
consider how powerful they are.  I think before most
of us came to this Master Mind group, we probably took
our thoughts much more for granted than we do now.

To read what Hill explains about the intricacies of
the makeup of the human brain…I can’t really even
begin to fathom that the number of lines that connect
the brain cells with one another equals the figure
one, followed by fifteen million ciphers.

And keep in mind…that was in 1937.  And they even
knew then that all of those nerve cells in our
brains are arranged in definite patterns.  Their
arrangement is NOT haphazard, but orderly.

Hill says that it is inconceivable that such a net
work of intricate machinery should be in existence
for the sole purpose of carrying on the physical
functions incidental to growth and maintenance
of the physical body.

He asks us, “Is it not likely that the same system
which gives billions of brain cells the media for
communication one with another provides also the
means of communication with other intangible forces

I have to admit that question made me feel similarly
to when my husband will point out a beautiful sunset
or a fabulous double rainbow in the sky, or an
awesome bank of clouds during a storm…and when I
realize that I hadn’t even noticed what was right in
front of my face, it’s also the moment that I realize
that so very much passes us by without our even
noticing, understanding, or even making use of what
is right before us all the time.

I usually always respond in those moments by saying
to myself…”I need to look UP more often and see
what I’m missing.”  And in response to Hill’s
question…of course, it is evident to us now that
our brain’s are capable of far more than we use
them for in our everyday lives.

With regard to the intangible force of thought, and
the knowledge that through autosuggestion and the
power of the Master Mind principle that we can indeed
“work with” this intangible force…or let it work
against us.

Just the realization that we can affect this intangible
force of thought at all is amazing.  I think it’s just
one of those little secrets that God planted for us to
find and realize, once again like the little child full
of awe watching the tiny seed grow into a beautiful
flower for Mommy…that no matter our age when we
discover it, the power of our thoughts is not a mistake,
but an amazing opportunity to make life as wonderful as
we want it to be…and let the rest go on by.

Friends Always,

Chapter 12, The Subconscious Mind.

The subconscious mind is scarry to think about
but also exciting to think this can link us to
infinite intelligence.We must control our thoughts
is overwhelming at the least how do we do this.

I struggle with doubt and fear I am not good enough
to reach my goals.  How can I keep focused and
keep the seven positive emotions active at work
and keep the wolves at bay?

This is my struggle each and every day. Stay close
to the fire I hear,  We must stay around positive
people if we are to keep these seven positives in
focus.We must have faith.

We must be patient we must be persistent.

These are very hard things for man to do.  The sub
conscious mind is very scarry because it is at work
so either we control its outcome or it controls our
outcome.

I must have faith and believe to reach my goals.

It works even if we do not.  So if i do not influence
it who does?  Am I willing to let this control my out
come or is it worth working on so I get where I want
to go?

It will not remain idle so I am going in some direction
but who is in the drivers seat.  We create everything
through thought good or bad.  So we are where we
choose to be.  That leaves a very bitter taste in my
mouth.

My thoughts brought me to where I am now?  Are
thoughts are a magnet drawing to us things equal
to what we give to our subconscious.

How do I control my thoughts, o yes mentoring for
free,  positive peoples influence, close to the fire,
great mentors Each thing creates its own kind I
must control my destiny or what will it be?

I must form a habit of positive thought  but I thought
21 days formed a habit.  I have been involved more
than 21 days why do I still struggle.  How can I get
the positive so strong the negative has no room?

I must have faith, patience , persistence, and sincere
desire.  For me the hardest is faith so I just stay
close to the fire and mentoring for free!  I must belive
In me and have a burning desire to reach my goals.

I must strive with everything in me to reach my goals.
I can have it all whit faith desire and passion in my
daily activity.  I will reach my dreams!

Thank you Michael and Linda for believing in me, I
can never let you know how much this means to
me.  You will always be close to my heart.

I love You

This chapter is so easy, yet so hard. Just reprogram
your subconscious mind by consciously allowing only
certain thoughts in.

Right!  Napoleon Hill forgot to mention the battle that
goes on when you try to reprogram.  After all, you
have years and years of negative thoughts that have
controlled your every action, word and deed.

And so much of it has been done so subtly, going
back to before we could even talk, that we don’t
realize what we’re fighting until we get hold of a
book like Think and Grow Rich.

The good news is that it does get easier with practice.
I was fortunate enough to come across this teaching
last year.  That’s why, at the ripe “old” age of 60 I’m
starting over again.  I’m starting an adventure!

And you know what?  I will succeed.

I refuse to accept less than success.  Over the past
year it has gotten easier…..easier to believe what I
tell myself now, easier to believe I deserve success,
easier to not hear the negative words from those
who would try to discourage me.

So now I”ll change the word ‘believe” to “know,”
because when one believes, then one can expect
it to happen or “know” it will happen.

I know I’ll succeed because I have believed it and
because I deserve it.  That knowledge gives me the
courage to seek out whatever I need in order to
succeed.

That belief, that knowledge, has led me to
Mentoring For Free where I can be assured
that I’ll learn whatever I need in order to be
successful this time.

Stand back and watch me grow.  Better yet,
join me and grow with me.

The Subconscious Mind

Have you ever had a childhood experience that was
relatively insignificant in the overall scheme of life
and it just keeps popping into your conscious mind
and you wonder why?

It’s an experience that was pretty significant at the
time, but it really doesn’t seem worthy of continuing
to think about it at all.  It’s over, it’s long gone, no
body got hurt…let it go!  Well, this week, I’ve become
aware of the fact that it’s over, it’s long gone…but
maybe someone did get hurt…me.

I read this chapter right after last week’s mental
cleanse call——-normally I wouldn’t get the new
chapter read until Monday or Tuesday of the next
week.  I’ve read this chapter many times in years
past, and a time or two since being in this group.
But this time was different…the first two paragraphs
wouldn’t let go of me…

Dr. Hill said, “The subconscious mind consists of
a field of consciousness, in which EVERY impulse
of thought that reaches the objective mind through
any of the five senses, is classified and recorded,
and from which thoughts may be recalled or with
drawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet.

It receives, and files, sense impressions or thoughts,
regardless of their nature.  You may VOLUNTARILY
plant in your subconscious mind any plan, thought,
or purpose which you desire to translate into its
physical or monetary equivalent.

The subconscious acts first on the dominating
desires which have been mixed with emotional
feeling, such as faith.”

So as I kept getting yanked back to these two
paragraphs and pondering what Dr. Hill was telling
me, I realized that the childhood experience that
kept coming back to my conscious thoughts 43
years after the fact was just like Dr. Hill said…it
was just as if the experience was filed away in
my mind at age 10 and for some odd reason, I
kept pulling that “folder” out of the file cabinet
of my mind with some regularity over the years–
not really dwelling on it, but just pulling the
“classified and recorded” file out of my “mind
cabinet” and leaving it lay on my desk of life for
a bit and then I’d file it away again and wouldn’t
give it another thought for a period of time.

Then, without warning, I’d find myself pulling that
same thought file out of my mind cabinet again.
I could never figure out why.

Another experience that flies out of the “file
cabinet” of my mind has tapped me on the
shoulder with a little more regularity through
out my adult life.  To put it bluntly, I’ve always
had an underlying distrust of most women–an
uncomfortable feeling when I had to be around
a group of women or even in a conversation that
lasted very long with one woman.

I’ve always believed it was because I got married
when I was very young; I had three children by
the time I was 25 years old–I was busy; I grew
up on the farm…my mother never taught me to
be a shop-a-holic with your girlfriends; I never
had a group of girlfriends that I hung out with
other than at school…yadda, yadda, yadda!

I’ve always believed most women were judg
mental and critical and controlling and my
instincts were always focused on: do what
you’ve got to do and get out.

And I functioned that way in my life being a
very active mother of three children all involved
in many school activities; an active church life;
and a full time career for over 25 years.

Oh, I could function and participate quite
successfully on the surface, but at age 53
now, I could definitely count on one hand
with several fingers left over, the number of
women I have really trusted over my lifetime.

In fact, as I’m trying to remember who they
are, I think I may have 4 or 5 fingers left over
as I count them.  But I never really experienced
that same anxiety and apprehension around men.

I’ve always wondered if I was some kind of real
weirdo or something because I just never ever
felt any kind of girlfriend comraderie going on
in any circle of friends–I just would not let my
self get that close to anyone.  And “being very
busy” always gave me that excuse I needed to
“escape” when I wanted to.

On May 13th, Richard Dennis’ Tuesday skills
call on marketing was about a chapter called
“Giving Up Resistance” from a book by John
Gray titled “How to Get What You Want and
Want What You Have”.

As Richard was sharing this chapter, a few key
points were grabbing me.  After the call, I ran
upstairs to my vast library of self-help books
and there it was on the shelf.  I turned to re-
read the chapter Richard just shared on the
call.

John Gray said, “By linking present negative
feelings to past situations, you can relive your
past and enrich it with your more mature and
loving perspective.  When you were a child,
you were dependent on your parents to know
the truth.

As an adult, you can go back to experience
the feelings you had as a child and make
corrections.  As children, we did not have
fully developed brains capable of reasonable
thought.

At that fragile age, we formed beliefs that were
incorrect, yet they continue to shape and mold
our lives  Although we can’t change the past,
we can change the beliefs we formed.

We can reevaluate what happened and how
we felt.  Our limited and incorrect beliefs can
be corrected by going back and revisiting the
past and using certain processing techniques
described in another chapter.”

I’ve read both of these books before…this one
and “Think and Grow Rich”…I’ve read them
both more than once…I’m green…they’re all
highlighted and have notes in the margins.

As is said…”when the student is READY,
the ‘teacher’ appears.”

This week, I became aware of my 10-year-
old perspective of an emotional experience
when I accidentally overheard my mother
telling my father, “Oh, for pete’s sake…
she thinks she’s bleeding to death!” .

…after I woke her up in the middle of the
night scared to death about the mess that
had awakened me.  I don’t remember any
thing that my mother said to me as she
came to help me; I only remember what I
heard her saying to my dad as I approached
their bedroom door to say something else
to her–I don’t remember what that was either.

And as I sit here writing this at age 53, the
tears are pouring down my cheeks, partly
out of sadness for how I felt then, partly
out of anger for how it’s likely played into
my misperception about trust over the
years; and partly out of sheer joy that I
can now understand the connection and
relativity of it all.

I can now see a 10-year-old child who did
not know that Moms and Dads talk about
EVERYTHING and what appeared to be
total betrayal of my most private experience
in a way that felt like judgment and criticism
and mockery were all filed away in my 10-
year-old file cabinet of my subconscious.

They weren’t given adult labels at that point,
but likely were labeled as hurt, embarrasment,
fear, and the fact that I shouldn’t have trusted
my mom with my “secrets”–my most private
moment of my life up to that point.  And all of
that was definitely steeped with emotion for
me and as Dr. Hill said, “the subconscious
acts first on the dominating desires which
have been mixed with emotional feeling.”

So, now that the “Teachers” have appeared
because the “Student” is ready, I have been
back over it all this week with my adult “eyes”
and can re-write the story at age 10 the way
I SHOULD have filed it away in my sub
conscious mind with emotions of:  love,
understanding, compassion, appreciation
of my 10-year-old concerns, comfort,
reassurance, specialness, respect, support,
caring, bonding, and joy to welcome my
womanhood into being.

And rewriting that story, I believe, has changed
my life from this week forward.  I’ve cried over
what’s needlessly been lost and I smile about
my mom’s continued lack of patience with my
“green personality”, but I rejoice over the fact
that I am learning to know and love me…may
be for the first time in my life.

It’s an ongoing journey, but thanks to Michael
and Linda’s belief in me, and Sarah’s belief in
me, and the awesome support and love that
this group gives to everyone, I am beginning
to see the light at the end of the tunnel where
the success curve starts turning upward and
I know that if I keep VOLUNTARILY planting
my positive desires in my subconscious mind
through my self-talk, the MFF Recipe, stay
“close to the fire”–the MFF calls which is the
best campfire in the Universe, this business
and personal growth journey can take only
the road called “Success”.

Thank You, Michael and Linda, and Master
Mind friends for blessing me with your presence.
You are changing lives…and I appreciate you
so much!!

Friends Always,
Patti Blevins
