Autosuggestion

As this blog grows into a global brand, I want to emphasise the importance of daily autosuggestion.

You must repeat the statement EVERY DAY.

A friend of mine, keeps his in his toilet, and says his statement with EMOTION. Sometimes he forgets to inject the emotion, and so on those days, hes just saying his statement with A MOTION.

Remember the importance of emotion. As NH says, words repeated blandly do not influence the subconscious mind. They are useless.

Desire 2008

Welcome back to the TAGR blog for 2008. After a slow start to the year (zero blog posts), its time to get back into it.

Desire is the cornerstone of achievement. Simply put, if you dont desire something enough, then you will not achieve it. Attempting something, when you are indifferent to it, is a recipe for bad apple pie. And yet, we see scores of examples of people doing things that they arent really into, and then failing.

One of my readers once asked me, "What do you do, if you don't desire anything at all?"
"Well Jimmy" I said "If you don't desire anything at all, you're probably dead"
Her name wasn't Jimmy, and she didnt think that was very good advice, but the question remains,

"What if I don't desire it enough?"

Answer:
If you don't desire it enough, you won't overcome all the hurdles that will present themselves. You'll stop short.
But don't forget, that desire doesn't always appear immediately. Contemplating, and working on something, mulling it over in your mind, over time, nurtures desire. It creates desire and strengthens it.

This is why reading the statement (see Autosuggestion chapter) is so important. Reading the statement over and over again cultivates the desire in you. And then... its only a matter of time.

Auto-suggestion

Napoleon Hill calls this chapter the "keystone to the arch of this philosophy". This chapter is where the money is.

In this chapter, you are instructed to read this chapter aloud every night, until you are sure that the principle of autosuggestion will work for you.
This is interesting, because I think its so easy to read something, nod your head, say "yeah that makes sense" and then apply nothing of what you have learnt. There's also a difference between saying "yeah, that makes sense" to actually believing that this will work for you.

Which is the reason why, I think, it is fully worth following his suggestion, and reading the chapter out aloud every night. I didn't follow this advice until well past my 12th reading of the book, and I have to say, without doing it, it is very easy to just theoretically agree with what he says, but not truly, emotionally believe it.
