What is programmed into a person's subconscious mind will ultimately determine whether they succeed at their chosen endeavor or not. What many of us fail to realize is how utterly powerful the unconscious mind is and how it makes or breaks a goal, dream, decision or plan. The conscious mind can be totally determined to carry out something but if that part of us that is below our threshold of consciousness does not have the programming in place that coincides with the conscious decision, then the likelihood of a person completing, carrying out or achieving that goal, plan, dream or decision is far smaller. This helps explain why new year's resolutions, for example, rarely last more than a few weeks.
To explain further, here are some basic facts about the subconscious mind...
It is 1 million times more powerful than the conscious mind
It makes up 96-98 per cent of our overall mind (with the other 2-4 per cent being our conscious mind)
It has no opinion on what it is programmed with being as it is like a computer just accepting any and all software programs or programming
It remembers every sight, every smell, every word heard and thing done to us throughout our whole life unlike the conscious mind which will remember very little by comparison
It is incapable of taking a moral stance on anything it is programmed with unlike the rational mind which can accept or reject what it sees or hears
It does not know what is real or imagined (and this is why visualization works so well)
It is connected to the universe like a child's umbilical chord to it's mother and is the link and the key to what manifests in a person's life from a Law of Attraction point of view
Living, as we do, in a world whose mainstream consciousness and mainstream media (which we are all affected by to some degree or other) cares more about materialism, war, power, negativity, and misery than it does about making a difference for positive change, it can be almost guaranteed that almost ALL OF OUR unconscious minds are filled with self defeating and self sabotaging programs of some description or other. In addition, unless a person has been brought up in a truly functional family - as opposed to a dysfunctional one (do they exist?) and on top of a mountain away from the negative influences of this consciousness as a whole, then we are all affected to some degree by negativity and this will be reflected in our subconscious mind.
The bottom line is this...
Unless the subconscious is programmed with software that fits in with success in the desired area, then some old program or other in the subconscious will come along and sabotage the plan, goal, decision or dream. It will not mean any harm by telling you not to move out of your comfort zone - it will simply be fulfilling it's "software role" and not allowing a square peg to fit inside a round hole. It will faithfully just be tapping into all those experiences it has remembered for a lifetime and will give you the sum total decisions of those experiences based upon what you have said to yourself over and over again you can do and what it has decided you are able to do. It will then stop you from fulfilling the dream, decision, goal or plan if it does not have the programming to support the completion of the dream, goal, decision or plan. A person can get away with sheer force of will or willpower for a while, but will have to succumb in the end to the programming of the unconscious. Period.
There are effective ways of reprogramming the unconscious mind. They include...
Affirmations (but which can only really affect the outer layer say, of the onion that is our subconscious)
Emotional Freedom Technique (or EFT - also known as Tapping)
Hypnosis
Subliminal programming
So, determination is all well and good but needs to be backed up by effective inner software that will transform obsolete and self sabotaging programming with programs that fit where you are choosing to go today and which will take you out of the zipcode of failure into the zipcode of success.
