impressed on the mind. This involves behavior. Behavior and actions determine results.
Want better results? Change your behavior. Want better behavior? Change the pictures
in your subconscious mind. How do you do that? Change the pictures in your conscious
mind.
You either choose your thoughts or accept them from an outside source. These
thoughts develop into images or ideas in your conscious mind. You then impress the images
upon your subconscious mind, causing feelings. The feelings cause actions and the actions
cause results.
The Farmer’s Field
The conscious mind is like a farmer deciding what to plant in his field. The
subconscious mind is like the farmer’s field. It has no choice as to what will be planted.
When the farmer plants a corn seed, corn grows in the field. When a dandelion seed is
planted in the farmer’s field, the farmer will reap a dandelion.
It would be foolish to think that by planting a dandelion seed, a stalk of corn
would emerge from the ground, yet many people believe this will happen in their lives.
When you think a negative thought, or concentrate on visions of failure, the results for
you will be failure.
You decide which seeds you will plant by the thoughts you think. It is no more
possible for you to think negative thoughts and reap positive results than it is for a farmer
to plant a dandelion seed and harvest corn. Some people have been careless in what they
have planted over the years, and now they have a field overrun by weeds. It will take a
little time to clear the field. Start planting corn right away, and soon you will have a rich
and bountiful harvest.
We have no idea how the forces of nature turn an acorn into an oak tree, but
we know it will. Your subconscious mind utilizes all of the forces of nature to produce
results.
It is no more difficult to plant a seed of corn than it is to plant a weed seed. The
subconscious is the servant of man; learn how to use it by giving it commands that will
produce the results you want.
Begin by asking some critical questions. The quality of your life is largely
determined by the quality of questions you ask. Start to think more effectively. Use the
following questions to get the ball rolling:
Why do you live from paycheck to paycheck?
How do you really feel about your current job?
What keeps you from improving your life the way you promised you would?
How do you feel when people around you oppose your efforts to improve yourself?
How do you think “winners” think about themselves? Can you think that way, too?
