How Does Auto-Suggestion Influence the Subconscious Mind?
Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
Chapter 4 Auto-Suggestion
The Third Step Toward Riches
Napoleon defines auto-suggestion as “the medium for influencing the subconscious mind.” “Auto-suggestion is a term which applies to all suggestions and all self-administered stimuli which reach one’s mind through the five senses.”
Self suggestion is the means of communication between the part of the mind where conscious thought takes place and that which serves as the seat of action for the subconscious mind. By the principle of auto-suggestion, the dominant thoughts that permeate in the conscious mind {whether they are positive or negative} get to the subconscious mind which is then influenced by those thoughts.
Furthermore, only thoughts that come from the ether, no other thoughts can enter the subconscious mind except through the principle of auto-suggestion. The conscious mind acts as outer-guard for the subconscious mind
More importantly, man has control over that which reaches his subconscious mind through his five senses. However, the majority of the time man does not exert this control. As a result, this is the reason why so many people live lives of poverty instead of riches or abundance.
Auto-suggestion is the means of control by which one voluntarily provides his subconscious mind on creative thoughts or destructive thoughts that enter the fertile soil of the mind. Your subconscious mind acknowledges and acts only on thoughts that have been mixed with feeling or emotion.
“Plain, unemotional words do not influence the subconscious mind. You will get no appreciable results until you learn to reach your subconscious mind with thought or spoken words which have been well emotionalized with belief.”
There is no such thing as something for nothing. When you are able to reach and influence your subconscious mind, there is a price that you have to pay for doing so. The price you have to pay is everlasting persistence. Therefore, it is important that you decide whether the reward for which you strive {the money consciousness} is worth the price you have to pay.
Finally, the principle of auto-suggestion will work for anyone once it is properly applied. “Man may become the master of himself and of his environment because he has the power to influence his own subconscious mind and through it, gain the cooperation of infinite intelligence.”
I appreciate your time and your comments.
To our success!

We beat ourselves up mentally, continually. We all do. It takes a concerted shift in consciousness to believe we are worthy of abundance and wealth. Even when we have "made it" financially in some field, there is that syndrome where we feel we are fooling people or it isn't real, even when the numbers say otherwise. So, yes, we need to believe in ourselves, that each one of us is entitled to take our shot, are deserving, and try to hold that thought. Your article speaks to that. Thank you.
And that was a very good share and I appreciate the time it took you to put it together. I'd like to elaborate on that however I am out of town right now consumed with another commitment. However I never Focus on the money as much as I focus on adventure have a win-win-win and result. You know the Simplicity of planting seeds within a conversation with a client or her a co-conspirator is the best route for me to travel personally. The seeds I watered start a conversation to give the client the proper decision making power in the close. Always leaving something to giveaway at the close . That validates they have made the correct decisions. Word of mouth now carries on as your clients are your best advertising.

Yes, the subconscious mind is the Enforcer.
Tap into it, know it, control it and you will stop living life on auto pilot and live your life on purpose.
Easier said than done. But entirely possible with vigilance, mindfulness and perseverance.
The subconscious requires repetition. Convince it that everything is okay, like speaking to a child. And to speak to it in the present, don't use negatives (no, not etc).
Have a great weekend Nichola, Louise
