Wishing you sustained prosperity on this
festival of Diwali.
I recently read a book “Power of your
subconscious mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy. This book has many real-life stories
about how people transformed their lives by changing their beliefs.
The fundamental thought in the book is that
your conscious thoughts play less than 1% role in your reality. We are gifted
with a subconscious system. Ever wondered how we keep breathing, heart keeps
pumping, a cut clots quickly, without any conscious thought or action on our
part. That is our subconscious mind running our body system.
Dr Murphy says that everyone’s subconscious
mind is connected to an infinite intelligence (The FORCE – as the STAR WARS
fans would say). The subconscious mind makes your deeply held beliefs true by
attracting people and situations. The conscious mind codes the subconscious
mind through its internal dialogue: our every fleeting thought is coded !!
If you ever wondered why the flow of wealth
in your life is not in line with your potential, your internal dialogue may be
responsible and you can change it !
What struck a chord with me about this book
is what makes the wealth fly away is ENVY.
Many of us are envious of people who are
doing better than us. We rationalize and conserve our self-worth by our
internal dialogue. We find some points where we are superior to these people (e.g.
I have more time for my hobbies and family. I am healthier. I have work-life
balance). Sometimes we question the means used to accomplish the wealth (Must
have done some shady deals or manipulation. Being honest doesn’t pay. You have
to kiss up your way to success. These
methods my conscience doesn’t allow).
These internal dialogues of envy deplete our
energy (short term loss) as well as code scarcity in our subconscious and block
the wealth coming our way (long term loss).
The solution suggested? Rejoice in the
wealth and success of others. That is the only choice we have if we wish to be
prosperous in line with our potential. That way our subconscious will include
wealth and bring it to reality as well.
How to rejoice? By thinking “May this
person continue his success and do better in life”. This may appear difficult
in the beginning but it is worth the effort. The affirmation (in the image) “I
am attracting wealth & prosperity in unlimited abundance” will work well
with this thought. However, any envy will nullify this affirmation!!
This Diwali, may you rejoice in the wealth
and success of others and thus, wealth and success you truly deserve, come your
way!!
