Warding Off Negative Influences From Reaching Your Mind
Warding Off Negative Influences From Reaching Your Mind
We are surrounded all the time by negative influences that do not have any difficulty in reaching our subconscious minds for as long as they remain the main thoughts on our conscious minds.
It is important to point out sources of negative influences so that we can understand how to ward them off and keep ONLY positive thoughts on our minds.
One major source of negative influences is usually from the well-meaning advice and talk of our immediate family, relatives, friends and acquaintances. Examples of such advice could come when one is about to undertake a venture that he/she believes would be a success.
The mere mention of this proposed undertaking to loved ones and acquaintances would elicit comments and responses such as:
(a) "are you sure it would work?"
(b) "others have tried this thing before you and failed; what makes you think you would succeed if you also tried it?"
(c) "nobody has ever tried that before; why not forget this crazy idea of yours and find something more useful to do with your time!"
Another source of negative influences could be from the talk of the so called experts. When athletes used to compete for the 100 metres race in the early years of the modern Olympic games, Experts in sports said nobody would be able to finish the 100 metres race in less than 10 seconds.
We are all witnesses to the fact that at the finals of the last Olympic games in Athens, Greece in 2004, five men finished the same 100 metres race in less than 10 seconds.
When Henry Ford started work on his V-8 engine, the men who worked for him said it could never be done on the same engine block. Ford told them to go ahead and produce it. For over a year his engineers struggled to get it done and eventually achieved it.
We are also witnesses to the fact that today, there are vehicles that carry a 12-cylinder or V-12 engine in one block!
Just what am I trying to convey with these examples? I borrow from the statement of legendary author Napoleon Hill where he said "whatever the human mind can conceive and believe is achievable."
As you can see from the preceding statement, it all begins with the human mind. Whatever idea your mind is able to conceive and believe is achievable.
It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with your level of education, your current financial status (whether poor or rich), your family background, who you know, etc, etc. It has EVERYTHING to do with you and the state of your mind.
If you conceive an idea in your mind and you believe it by faith that it is achievable, it then means that you and only you can control the thoughts that reach your conscious mind and from there to the subconscious regarding your idea.
Please note that once you allow negative influences to take over your mind either consciously or unconsciously, those thoughts would find their way to the subconscious mind and MUST find a way of expressing the results in the physical.
The next logical question to ask is, how do I ward off or prevent negative influences from reaching my conscious mind? The thing you have to do is first, write down what it is that you want to achieve in life. Please be definite about it.
Put it in writing and place it where you can see it everyday and repeat it to yourself everyday, in the morning, at times during the day and just before you retire to bed at night.
For every time you repeat the words you have written down of what you intend to achieve in life, say it with conviction in your heart that you can achieve it. This simply means the words must be filled with faith or emotion.
After sometime, you will have memorized it and that would help you say it also during the course of the day.
Another important thing to do is to interact more with people who will encourage you in the direction of your heart's desire. I have not asked you to cut off from loved ones, friends and acquaintances who do not buy your idea on your intentions.
What you will do is to discuss all other things with them EXCEPT your desire or idea in order to prevent them from trying to fill and influence your mind negatively with their comments.
Even where they raise the issue of your innermost desire, do not get into an argument that would leave you sour or bitter with doubts (a negative emotion that will find its way into your conscious mind and then to your subconscious mind).
You have to become quietly rebellious within your mind on your idea for the simple reason that you have come to the clear understanding that the road to wealth begins with an idea or desire conceived in one's mind and that that thought of the idea or desire is achievable ONLY where there is absolute belief or conviction on your part that it is achievable.
Thirdly, you will have to, as a serious plan, read more of inspirational books and listen to inspirational tapes because they contain amazing stories of individuals who have tread a similar path of achievement as you intend and who in spite of the challenges, were able to surmount them and achieve their aim.
In the stories contained in those tapes and books you would see exactly the same message being conveyed in this blog: desire, faith, conviction, challenges, courage, persistence and achievement.
Fourthly, you have to begin a study of sacred scriptures because contained in it are inspirational messages that lift one's spirit and builds up one's confidence, courage and faith in whatever you intend to achieve in life.
A bible story of faith and courage could be seen about Abraham and his son Isaac. God made a promise to Abraham when he was 75 years old that he would give him descendants as many as the stars of the sky (Genesis 12: 1-4).
Again God reminded Abraham of the promise when Abraham was 85 years old (Genesis 15: 1-6). Verse 6 of that chapter states that "Abraham had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness."
God reminded him again when Abraham was 90 years old (Gen 17:1-16) and then fulfilled the promise when Abraham was 100 years old (Gen. 21:1-5). Abraham's real test of courage and faith came when God asked him to take his ONLY son Isaac and offer as a sacrifice. Abraham trusted completely in God and without any doubt took Isaac to offer as a sacrifice.
God then provided a ram for the sacrifice, but Abraham's faith was confirmed and it counted for him! (Gen. 22: 1-14). Another story of immense courage is seen between a young inexperienced shepherd boy David and an experienced soldier Goliath who was defeated by the immense faith and courage displayed by David! (1 Samuel 17:4-53).
