Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
moments in your life that take your breath away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CH 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, here goes
This was a very good chapter and not for the reasons I thought. I have been a Christian, a man of faith, and
and I thought i knew why. I never realized how much
our emotions played into building our faith and how it
brings about the changes that we desire for.
The book stated that the three strongest emotions,faith,
love and sex, when blended have the effect of”coloring”
thought in such a way by reaching the sub-conscience
mind changing it into it’s spiritual equivalent.
At first I was thinking this was a mystic gobbledeegoop,
but the more I read I realized that what he scriptures
says is true. That through God we are wonderfully and fearfully made. All of that works for a reason.
The scriptures tell us to ask, and we will receive.
Seek and we will find and doors will be open for us.
Isn’t it unique that as we do this we are allowing
our mind to take this and make it so. God says that
if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can move
mountains.
Something that really caught my attention was the
words of the criminologist. “When men first come
into contact with crime, they abhor it. If they
remain in contact with crime for a time, they become
accustomed to it, and endure it.
If they remain in contact with it long enough, they
finally embrace it, and become influenced by it.”
‘That works with everything we do in life. That can
work with bad things we do and also with good things
that we do.
I have have heard it said that it takes 21 days to
build a habit. Well..that is how it is built. A little
at a time unto we are hooked. That can be hooked on
crime, drugs, sex or hooked on prayer, excersizing,
eating right, and even making phone calls.
I honestly think, I know that people can talk them
selves into bad heath. That they DOOM themselves.
I have a friend that has done just that. she is a
wonderful woman, but with health problems galore.
But when you hear her talk.you know why she has them,
She has spoken those very thing into existance.
I could write another chapter here, but these were
some of my “AH HA” thoughts in this chapter. The
chapter on desire was incredible, but this chapter
struck a lot closer to home.
I will make it to the top. I will bring as many
people as I can with me.

Chapter 3: Faith
Visualization of, and Belief in Attainment of Desire
The three emotions mentioned in this chapter are
faith, love and sex. Faith and love are spiritual
while sex is physical. While they have their place in
this chapter, the two that have played a significance
role in my life are faith and love.
Faith in my case is setting to be in a positive state
of mind whether I seek it myself or with a higher
spiritual power. Love is being able to tell yourself
how much you love yourself then telling others how much
you love them.
Without those emotions, one would never know how Much
abundance they would receive unless they Practice using
those emotions.
A quick example comes from the book “How to Sell
Anything to Anybody” by Joe Girard who is known as
the”World’s Greatest Salesman”. In one chapter, he
uses faith which he calls his want.
When he lost his small business, he got a job selling
cars. He also developed his want which was a bag of
groceries to feed his family. When he selling a customer
a car, he used a word picture which was that customer
becoming a bag of groceries for him and his family.
By selling that customer a car he was able to get that
bag of groceries. To me, faith is being able to believe
that I have what it is I have set out to do in my
personal and business life.
My being in network marketing, I have the faith and
have already accomplished a better life for myself and
like minded people who want the same.
Love which I learned from “Think And Grow Rich”,
“Mentoring For Free”, and the “30 Day Mental Cleanse”
involves loving myself before I’m able to love others.
By using self-talk telling myself that I love myself,
then I am able to love others receiving love in return
after giving it. By practicing both emotions on a
daily basis, I can see the positive results it has
made on my personal and business life. To those who
have practiced and used those emotions on a daily
basis would know what I’m talking and can vouch for
what I am saying.
Thank you for planting the seeds in my life which
before I met you Michael, I never would have thought
it was possible to accomplish what it is that I want.
I don’t have to feel guilty anymore about wanting a
rich and full life that I only set out to accomplish
as long as I can help others do the same if they want
it bad enough. Again, thank you for that as I will
keep doing what needs to done in being the best
person I can be.
Cordially,
Paul Rosen

Faith.
How appropriate that I would begin my 30-Day Mental
Cleanse with this lesson. Faith is a subject that’s
been on my mind a lot lately. And, God has been good
to me in that He has been showing me how to have
greater faith. This lesson is right on time for me.
I can see that it is a matter of “practice” that is
needed to change my thinking; to keep the right
thoughts, words, and visualization along with them
to bring them to life.
In Proverbs 18:20, it says “A man’s self shall be
filled with the fruit of his mouth (what he speaks,
even thinks); and with the consequence of his words
he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].Clearly,
our thoughts and words affect ourselves and others.
I must remember that faith is POWERFUL. There are illustrations in the Bible where Jesus has responded
to individuals by healing them and telling them that
their FAITH has healed them.
He gave them their burning desire because they had
faith. He also said that if we just had the tiniest
amount of faith we could move a mountain and that
nothing would be impossible for us (Matthew 17:20).

FAITH
Napoleon Hill makes the following statements about
FAITH…
* Faith is the Head Chemist of the mind, so obviously
I need it.
* Faith is a state of mind which may be induced,
created… by affirmation or repeated instructions to
the subconscious mind, through the principle of auto
suggestion.
* Faith is a state of mind I may develop at will.
* Repetition of affirmation of orders to my sub
conscious mind is the only known method of VOLUNTARY development of the emotion of faith.
* Any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed
on to the subconscious mind is, finally, accepted and
acted upon by the subconscious mind, which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent by
the most practical procedure available.
* All thoughts which have been emotionalized (given
feeling) and mixed with faith begin immediately to
translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.
* My belief, or faith, is the element which determines
the action of my subconscious mind.
* It is essential for me to encourage the positive
emotions as dominating forces of my mind, and discourage
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.
OK…I could go on and on–in fact, my favorite page
in this chapter is just ahead…BUT GUESS WHAT? This
is NOT some phenomenon we’ve never experienced before.
We ALL know how to do this already. We’ve been doing
it since the day we were born.
We think about what we want or don’t want (fear) and
what we DECIDE we really, really desire, or what we
really, really fear, and… WALLA…our life becomes
blessed or doomed with whatever we desired or feared–
or what we thought about and believed and sprinkled
some emotion on day after day!
NOW we KNOW it WORKS! All we really need to do is
take one more step and use our self-talk like its
an inhaler that we need for our “asthma” and breathe
deeply of that pre-written self-talk as many times
per day as we need to breathe–you know, like Michael
always says…”You need it MORE than you need oxygen”.
If I am too preoccupied or too lazy to take time to
bathe and brush my teeth, would the people around me
continue to put up with me day after day without
squacking about it? I doubt it!
Well, there’s also no excuse good enough for me to be
too busy or too lazy to keep putting off my self-talk.
I need it more than I need oxygen IF I desire to create
my dreams.
And if I’m inhaling, I am looking for oxygen to inhale
rather than the air someone else exhaled in my face…
and I don’t care if it’s my soul mate’s or my newborn
infant’s carbon dioxide… I desire oxygen… so I move
my head a little bit and breathe in what I desire rather
than what someone else just breathed out into my face!
Self-talk is even easier, but I have to do it if I
desire the “oxygen” of my own desires versus the left
over, spewed-upon-me “carbon dioxide” of fear and
negativity from myself or others.
Would I walk around with my hands cupped over my mouth
and nose trying to smell my bad breath all day?
Probably not!
Then, stop allowing used up oxygen into my head in all
the other ways it sneaks in…by doing my pre-determined
self-talk over and over and over again–it will be like
wearing an oxygen mask 24-7 and I won’t even have to
carry the tank!
So…we wrote it in Chapter 2..the self-talk is written. Michael has shared his with us…start with that if you
don’t have your own yet. You’ll only have to say it 2
or 3 times to begin making changes in it so that it
feels more like yours.
And remember…we need it more than we need the shower
and the toothbrush…MORE THAN OXYGEN! So, check your
self today!
Ask yourself: “How much fresh air (MY self-talk) have
I inhaled today?” Make sure it’s ENOUGH because if I
have not, my dreams won’t be coming true, and…
IT’S NOBODY’S FAULT BUT MY OWN.

Chapter 3
Hill says:
“Faith, the head chemist of the mind.When faith blends
with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind
picks up the vibration, translates it into its
spiritual equivalent and transmits it to Infinite
Intelligence, as in the case of “Prayer”.”
So really this can be translated to what we think is
what we get. In other words, our Dominant thoughts
are a form of prayer. If our dominant thoughts are
those of negative experiences, negative feelings,
negative beliefs, then we put these out in a form
of faith.
These feelings are our thoughts which blend with
our belief system. And if our belief system is of
negative memories and that we deserve bad things and
don’t deserve good, then this becomes a form of Prayer,
a faith blended with the vibrations of thoughts which
of course instantly reach the subconscious mind where
they are changed into their spiritual equivalent and
induce a response from Infinite Intelligence.
So…I guess this is why we get more of the same.
Why where we are is EXACTLY where we want to be.
EXACTLY the physical reality we have manifested
in our life. Hard to fathom, hard to ingest, but
true. This is the cold, hard reality. We have
manifested this on our self.
The good news is, we can out manifest it too. I
have just learned of a skill for this. And that s
kill is write my own movie of my life as if it were
now.
Not written as a goal into the future, but right now.
My movie, my life, my reality!
Once and for all! My New Amazing Life Reality…
here I come!
