If a picture speaks a thousand words, then a parable speaks a
thousand truths. When a storyline’s latent truth rises to the surface,
the sparking of an “A-ha moment” captures us. That’s what parables do.
Parables have been told across all cultures for centuries, and
they’re just as profound today. Here are three timeless parables to
challenge and change the way you think.
1. The Muddy Road
Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.
Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.
“Come on, girl,” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.
Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself.
“We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”
“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”
Life doesn’t always follow the script — rules are bent and broken,
and the ideal doesn’t always correspond with the real. Doing the right
thing isn’t always black and white either, and at some point
frustrations and disagreements will arise. You will hurt others, and you
will be hurt. But refusing to let wounds heal long after a battle is
over means that no one can properly move forward in life. Letting go can
be difficult, but you’ll torture yourself mentally and emotionally by holding on. Breathe deep, and let it go.
2. The Two Wolves
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life…
“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
“One is evil — he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, self-doubt, and ego.
“The other is good — he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion,
and faith.
“This same fight is going on inside you; and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
“Which wolf will win?”
The old chief simply replied,
“The one you feed.”
It’s no surprise then, that expressing gratitude increases positive experiences. Focusing on something good causes your brain’s reticular activating system
(RAS) to red-flag all things related. If your default is toward
negativity, you’ll always see the glass half empty. Start feeding the
good wolf to not only see, but live the silver lining.
3. The Farmer’s Fortune?
Once upon the time there was an old farmer
who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away.
Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,”
they said sympathetically.
“Perhaps,” the farmer replied.
The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “What great luck!” the neighbors exclaimed.
“Perhaps,” replied the old man.
The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses,
was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their
sympathy on his misfortune.
“Perhaps,” answered the farmer.
The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young
men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him
by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had
turned out.
“Perhaps,” said the farmer…
We’ve all had experiences where the curse turns into a blessing;
rejection turns into redirection, and the unanswered prayer is the best
thing that could’ve happened to you. Life is indeed a box of chocolates
— you never know what you’re gonna get. Yet the father isn’t delusional
or apathetic, but positively expectant through life’s ups and downs.
There’s a subtle optimism we should all carry; an expectation that
fortune will follow misfortune. It’s important to have foundational
beliefs that keep you composed, to appreciate and celebrate the good,
and to process trials knowing they soon shall pass.

If I could offer you a magic potion that would make you happier,
healthier, more optimistic and more productive, and tell you that potion
would cost nothing and will require very little effort to use, would
you be interested?
Let me ask the question differently.
If this potion existed would you want some?
Of course you would!Unfortunately, I don't have a potion that will do these things. But each of us has something even better than a potion that will do all of those things and more...
Gratitude.
Science tells us that an "attitude of gratitude" is a good health
choice. Being more grateful more often makes us happier and more
optimistic. But gratitude also adds to the bottom line - in very real
ways. And the best news about gratitude is that it requires little time
and no money.
Here are five reasons gratitude improves your productivity and results:
Gratitude attracts what we want. The universal law of
attraction says that we will attract into our life the things we think
about and focus on. Since this is true, wouldn't you want more of what
you are thankful for? (I think I know the answer to that!) Remember that
when you are consciously aware of your blessings, and are grateful for
them, you are focusing more clearly on what you do want in your life -
and are attracting more of those things into your life.
Gratitude improves relationships. We learn the importance of
saying "thank you" as little children. We are taught that habit because
it is "good manners." This childhood lesson is extremely powerful. Think
about those people that you know who are most appreciative of you - and
let you know it. How do you feel about them? Does their appreciation
positively impact your relationship with them? Of course it does! Be
grateful for people, their contributions, their talents and their
actions - and make sure you let them know how you feel.
Gratitude reduces negativity. It is hard to be negative
about your situation when you are thinking about things for which you
are grateful. One of the fastest ways to improve your mood or outlook is
to count your blessings.
Gratitude improves problem solving skills. Too often we look
at problem solving with a very jaded view. "Something is wrong. We have
barriers in our way. Then, we have to put in effort to fix it."
Conversely, when we think about what we are grateful for we open our
minds up to new possibilities and connections. We also enter a problem
solving situation with a perspective of improvement and opportunity
rather than challenge or issue.
Gratitude helps us learn. Every dark cloud has a silver
lining. Behind every problem lies an opportunity. Being grateful for our
situation - even if we don't like everything about it - allows us to be
thankful for the opportunity to learn something new.
That's Fine, But How?
At this point you may be thinking, OK, sounds great, but how can I really be more grateful, more often?
It's really very easy.
Let's practice right now.
1. Make a list of five things you are grateful for right now. These
can be big things (like your family) or little things (like the fact
that someone held the door open for you this morning). This can be a
mental list or written down. Do it now.
2. Reflect on your list and allow yourself to feel good about these things.
3. If there is a person you can thank or show your appreciation to, do that now too (a quick call or email is a good start!).
You can do this exercise anytime, and you don't have to stop at five
things. In fact, it is a great idea to keep a running list in your
Journal, planner or notebook - this way you can return to your list
anytime you wish, reinforcing your gratitude.
But at any moment you can make a list, bask in those thoughts, and share that thankfulness with others.
You've probably thought of being thankful as a good thing to do or
the right thing to do. But now hopefully you see it can be even more
powerful than "right."
Gratitude is an attitude. Gratitude is a choice. And gratitude is a
habit. When we consciously practice being grateful for the people,
situations and resources around us we begin to attract better
relationships and results. The habit will be strengthened as you make
the choice each day.
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson
One of the most common questions people ask me via email is how to become more of an optimist.
So today I would simply like to share three habits that I use just
about every day and that help me to stay optimistic in pretty much any
situation.
It may sometimes take a while before I find an optimistic thread of thought but these three habits usually help me to do it.
1. Ask yourself questions that let you see the optimistic viewpoint.
When I’m in what seems like a negative situation my most common way
of making something better out of that is to ask myself questions that
promote optimism and helps me to find solutions.
Questions like:
- What is one thing that is positive or good about this situation?
- What is one thing I can learn from this situation?
- What is one opportunity within this situation?
These questions are not something that I can always use right away.
Sometimes I need some time to process and accept the feelings and
thoughts that arise.
But after a bit of time, when those thoughts and feelings have mostly passed, I ask myself one or more of these questions.
2. Get optimistic support from the world around you.
One the most important factors for being able to stay optimistic are
the influences around you. Optimism is – just like enthusiasm –
contagious.
So find ways to create an environment that supports you.
So find ways to create an environment that supports you.
- The people in your life. Try to spend more time with optimistic people and less time with people who seem to always be negative about things. Positive people will support you, add upbeat energy and can help you to find a constructive change in perspective when you have a situation that is bringing you down and when you are just making a mountain out of a molehill.
- The information you let into your mind. One of the simplest things you can do to create and support your own optimism is simply to regularly read blogs and books and listen to or watch recordings created by optimistic people.
3. Start your day in an optimism creating way.
A stress-free morning leads to less stress and better focus during your day.
A work out early in your day leads to more energy throughout the day.
And optimism while you are eating your cereal or traveling to work or
school can help you to stay positive and constructive as you go through
the ups and downs of your day.
Practical ways to get this good start is to read, watch or listen to
something optimistic. Or to have an uplifting and/or motivating
conversation over breakfast or early in your day.
“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice
melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to
evaporate.”Albert Schweitzer
“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”
Henry James
Henry James
Kindness is often a pretty simple thing to spread in the world.
But we sometimes forget about it. Or don’t remember how it can help us all.
Three things that I like to keep in mind and that help me to try to be a kinder person are these:
- I get what I give. Yep, some people will be ungrateful, miserable and not reciprocating no matter what you may do. But most people will over time treat you as you treat them.
- By being kinder to others I am more likely to be kinder to myself. It may sound a bit odd but my experience is that when I am kinder towards others then my self-esteem goes up and I think more highly about myself.
- It creates a happier place to live in. Being kinder simply makes my own little world a nicer and happier place to live in.
So how can you start spreading the kindness in your daily life?
Here are 15 simple ways to do it.
Pick one of the them that resonates with you and start spreading the kindness today.
1. Express your gratitude.
Think about what you can be grateful for about someone in your life.
Maybe that he is a good listener, that he often is quick to help out or
that he always adds great songs to a Spotify playlist. Or simply that he
held up the door for you.
Then express that gratitude in a simple “thank you!” or in a sincere sentence or two.
2. Replace the judgments.
No one likes to be judged. And the more you judge other people the
more you tend to judge yourself. So despite the temporary benefit of
deriving pleasure from the judgments it is not a good or smart long-term
habit.
When you feel the urge to judge ask yourself: what is one kind thing I can think or do in this situation instead?
3. Replace the unconstructive criticism.
Try encouragement instead of excessive criticism. It helps people to both raise their self-esteem and to do a better job.
And it will make things more fun and more light-hearted in the long run.
4. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes.
It is quite easy to resort to unkindness when you see things just
from your perspective. Two questions that help me to see and to better
understand other viewpoints are:
- How would I think and feel it if I were in his or her shoes?
- What parts of this person can I see in myself?
5. Recall how people’s kindness made you feel.
Just sit down for a few minutes and try to recall one time or a few
times when other people’s kindness really touched you and helped you
out.
Then think about how you can do those very same things for someone in your life.
6. Express kindness for something you may often take for granted.
It is easy to remember and to feel motivated to express kindness when
someone is having a rough time or have just finished an important
project.
But also remember to express kindness for how someone continues to
put so much love into the dinners you eat. Or for being on time every
day and doing their job well and keeping deadlines.
7. Hide a surprising and kind note.
Leave a small note with a loving or encouraging sentence in your
partner’s or child’s lunchbox, hat, tea-container or book that he or she
is reading right now.
That minute of your time will put a smile on her face and joy and motivation in her heart.
8. Just be there.
Listen – without thinking about something else – when someone needs to vent.
Just be there fully with your attention. Or have a conversation and
help someone find his or her way out of fear and to a more constructive
and grounded perspective.
9. Remember the small acts of kindness too.
Let someone into your lane while driving. Let someone skip ahead of
you in a line if he’s in a real hurry. Hold up the door for someone or
ask if they need help when you see them standing around with a map and a
confused look.
10. Give someone an uplifting gift.
Someone in your life may have a bit of a tough time right now. Then
send him or her an inspirational book or movie. Or simply send an email
with a link to something inspiring or funny that you have found like a
blog, article or a comic.
11. Help someone out practically.
Give them a hand when moving or with making dinner or arrangements
before a party. If they need information, then help out by googling it
or by asking knowledgeable people that you know.
12. Help the people in your life see how they make a difference in their lives.
When you talk to someone about his or her day or what has been going
on lately then make sure to point out how he or she also has spread
kindness and given value. People are often unaware of the positive
things they do or they minimize them in their own minds.
So help them to see themselves in a more positive light and to improve their own self-esteem.
13. Remember the 3 reasons for kindness at the start of this article.
It will help you to be kinder even when you may not always feel much
like it. If you like, write those reasons down on a piece of paper and
put that note where you can see it every day.
14. Pay it forward.
When someone does something kind for you – no matter how big or small
– then try to pay that forward by being kind to someone else as soon as
you can.
15. Be kinder towards yourself.
Then you will naturally treat other people with more kindness too. It is truly a win-win habit.
A simple way to start being kinder toward yourself is to each evening
write down 3 things you appreciate about yourself and about what you
have done that day in a journal.

How to Manifest Faster With Law of Attraction - Real Life Tips You Can Use
If you are using law of attraction to manifest something you
would like in your life and wonder if there is a way to make that
process happen faster here are a few tips you can use to make things
manifest faster in your life.
So you have picked out your desire
or goal that you would like to happen. You have been using
visualization, affirmations and practicing gratitude in your life, but
you are still waiting for your desire to appear. Where is it? Why is it
taking so long?
If you want your manifestation to appear faster
you have to detach from it. Of course you still want your desire to
appear in your life but you can not be stressed or worried about it,
this will only defeat everything you're trying to do. Manifest faster
with law of attraction
When you come from that frame of mind you
are actually attracting exactly what you don't want, you're pushing your
desire away from you even further. What you are actually doing is
attracting the lack of your desire because that's really what you are
thinking and feeling deep down.
When you worry about a desire and
why it is not coming you are thinking of the lack of it and that's what
you're going to attract more of. You need to think about what you're
thinking about.
Sometimes I will tell people you need to
completely detach from your goal. When you detach and let go you are no
longer worrying about achieving your desire or goal and then, coming
from that frame of mind, it will appear.
Think about the last time
you needed a job really bad. You worried about it, stressed about it
because money was not coming in and so on. You visualized and used law
of attraction to get a job and eventually you did. What happened next? I
can almost guarantee you had a flood of offers come in, all at the same
time.
Why did that happen? It is because you let go and released
your goal or desire and were no longer worrying about it. You detached
from it. The universe still knew you wanted it and was now ready to
deliver it to you because NOW you were in the perfect frame of mind...
feeling like your "already had" what you wanted... because you actually
did... therefore the flood of offers poured in.
This is why you
need to FEEL, THINK and ACT like you ALREADY have something in order for
it to come into your life. Law of attraction works very fast and
efficiently if you can get into this frame of mind.
I've seen the
same thing happened many times in other situations when people let go.
Let's take for example you are single and looking for someone you can
date. You go on all these online dating sites write your profile, go on
many dates but still nothing is working out.
You eventually meet
someone that is a perfect match for you and soon after that you meet
three other people that you would like to date at the same time. Feast
or famine, isn't that the way it always works out? It's because you are
no longer attached to your desire and are coming from a better frame of
mind in other words you are aligning with your desire and now the
universe can deliver, and boy does it deliver sometimes.Tips to speed up
manifesting with law of attraction
Some of you are worried about
getting an ex back in your life. You worry and get stressed about it,
can't sleep and miss them so bad you can even eat sometimes. What do you
think this is going to bring you more of? You are basically showing the
universe with law of attraction this is what you want.
It's not
what you want of course but this is the way the universe works. You get
what you think about and feel about. This is the language of the
universal mind and this is how law of attraction really works.
You
think and worry about what you don't want and that's exactly what
you're going to get. Law of attraction and the universe knows no
difference whether it is good or bad it just delivers what you are
showing it.
I hope that helped explain how law of attraction works
to some of you that are new to this. You must only think about things
you want because this is what you are going to get.
Another way to
speed up the process is to use meditation. Meditation is a simple
process where you sit quietly and think of nothing, you completely shut
off your mind and relax. While it is a simple process, it takes a little
practice to shut your mind down. I will do another post on it shortly.
Meditation
can speed up the process of law of attraction because you are no longer
thinking or worrying about what you do not have, you just stop thinking
for a while and give yourself a break. The universe knows what you want
already and by meditating and shutting your mind off you can connect
with a higher power. This is where inspiration and great ideas come
from.
Another process you can use to speed up the process of law
of attraction is to use subliminals. I recommend making your own, in
your own voice, tailored exactly to your needs.
Subliminals will
speed up the process of manifestation the same way meditation does by
shutting off your thoughts, putting you into a very relaxed state where
the subliminals can seep into your subconscious mind and change your
beliefs, they are very powerful if used correctly.
Affirmations,
mind meditation, visualizations, gratitude journals and all other
methods of law of attraction basically have the same purpose and that is
to change your deepest beliefs. That is why I always recommend using
subliminals they can really speed up the process of manifesting your
desires.
I' am going to repeat something again and that is "think
about what you're thinking about" then ask yourself is this what time
want? Because what you are thinking about is what's going to appear in
your life, like it or not.
We are making decisions all the time. From the most trivial to
the life changing, we all need to decide what to say, how to behave and
how to respond to the people and situations that cross our path.
Ultimately, our decisions determine what we attract into our lives.
How
do you make these decisions? What do you base your decision-making on?
For many, it is something external, such as a religious belief system.
Most people, however - even those with strong religious beliefs - make
decisions based on those around them. When we are still very young, we
learned that the approval of our parents was vital for getting what we
wanted and, as we got older, our education system reinforced the idea
that the approval of other people is important. We were taught that
'making a good impression' and presenting ourselves well in front of
others is the key to a successful life.
The sad thing is that we
never get over this, and it often turns into a real problem. How other
people perceive us becomes so important that our behavior is completely
dominated by worrying about what we look like to others. In effect, we
are letting other people 'pull our strings.' We allow ourselves to
become puppets, dancing to the changing tune of other people's beliefs
and moods.
Our tendency to let other people pull our strings
means, however, that we lose touch with our connection to what could be
called our 'higher self' or our 'inner wisdom.' I believe that we are
all connected the same source - we all come from the same place, and a
connection to this 'life source' is essential to getting life to work
for us. We cannot be in the driving seat unless we are in touch with our
source or, if you prefer, our inner guide.
Being in touch with
source doesn't mean meditating for hours each day. It isn't esoteric,
but it does require a shift in our mentality. Instead of looking
outward, to other people, for our guidance, we need to look inward.
...
we are all connected the same source - we all come from the same place,
and a connection to this 'life source' is essential to getting life to
work for us.
It may be hard for us to trust ourselves - maybe
we've been told for decades that making decisions without reference to
the outside world is selfish or even dangerous. I've even heard someone
say that without an external code of conduct such as a religious belief
system, she would lie, cheat, steal and do all sorts of other wicked
things! I think it is very sad when someone loses sight of his own inner
guidance to such an extent, but it is not uncommon.
Regaining a
connection to our source, or 'inner wisdom' isn't hard, but it takes a
little time and gentle persistence. Try spending a few moments each day,
perhaps before you go to sleep, speaking to your inner guide. Share
yourself with your guide; share your problems and concerns; ask him or
her any questions you have. Over time, your connection to this inner
guide will become stronger - you'll get to know who s/he is. Your inner
wisdom will, if listened to, become a great friend and will enable you
to make good choices.
I guess the Law of Attraction needs no
introduction! I'm sure you've heard about it, and maybe you've seen 'The
Secret.' Let me clear - I think that a lot of the movies, the books and
the products you are bombarded with on the Internet are of little value
- hyped up, slick, well marketed and packaged, with one purpose - to
relieve you of your money.
But that doesn't mean there's nothing
in it at all. Far from it. I was reading about the so called 'Law of
Attraction' for many years before 'The Secret,' and I stared using some
of the stuff that's now so over-hyped in my own life. Let's go through
the basic ideas. This comes from Ester Hicks, the author of a number of
books on this subject which I do think are worthwhile.
'Nothing merely shows up in your experience. You attract it - all of it. No exceptions.'
But
how do we 'attract' these things? Abraham explains that it's all to do
with thought: 'You get what you think about; whether you want it or
not.'
Ester goes on to explain that there is a foolproof way you
can tell whether what you're thinking about is something you want to
experience or not. This is simply the way you feel.
Attracting Success
"Everyone visualizes, whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success." ~ Genevieve Behrend.
Visualization
is one of the many techniques of the law of attraction. Successful
people, from celebrities, politicians to athletes know how important it
is to picture or visualize themselves being successful or achieving
something in their minds, prior to actually realizing it in reality.
Steps to attract success
1. Acknowledge Success
Everyone wants success in his/her life. Most of us struggle to achieve it. As per the technique of Law of Attraction, we need to create a vibration of success, through acknowledgment.
The technique of acknowledgment starts with searching the rewarding parts of your life. We are so engrossed and embedded with our shortcomings and in abilities that we often fail to recognize even an iota of success present in our life and acknowledge the same.
For success vibration creation, we first need to transform our negative attitude into a positive one. The key is to focus our mindset into a success-centric one.
Start exploring your dominant and positive qualities, recall instances or incidents, where you thrived and accomplished a task, moment or accomplishment. The momentum can be anything.
Ask yourself these important questions - Are you a good daughter/son? Are you a reliable friend? Are you a hardworking employee? Do you drive your car safely and smoothly? Do you have any specific skill that you are proud of? These aspects of life are more important that the petty nuances that the society defines as features of being successful. Explore these minute aspects of your life, start creating a vibration of success and acknowledge them all.
2. Develop a firm belief
Belief helps in the manifestation of desires and enables us to work towards our goals. Practice by believing in a small thing or task. For example, get a plant and believe that it will slowly grow into a floral creation. Once you start believing, and your mind will be driven to make sure that you water and nourish that small plant in order to make it grow and bloom. After you achieved this task, take another step of belief and slowly move onto bigger platforms.
3. Explore your desire
We are human beings, filled with desires, dreams and ambitions. Few of us succeed to achieve or make our desires come into a full circle, through the absolute belief in our desires and their possibilities. The key is to explore, discover and find what you desire.
Once you find it, add all emotions into it, visualize your desires and create an emotional vibration around them and witness how your desires take shape into the reality.

A woman phoned me the other day to ask me about a product that someone else was selling. It was something she really wanted.
She said that it was an excellent deal but wouldn't be able to afford it as she was having too many challenges in her life. She even mentioned she could see how it could make her money, but needed to make some money first.
I am a believer that we connect with the people that we need to, whether it is for a minute or a lifetime as the other person can help or even remind us of a truth that we already know deep inside. For this woman it was "there is always away" and how you believe and communicate to your self will affect the out come of your life.
I have heard many successful people say, if you take 2 identical men the same age, background and financial level and one says he can and the other says he can't, they are both right.
So much of what we can and cannot do has a lot more to do with our belief systems and our attitudes than by our financial or life's challenges around us.
Telling the universe that you want it to supply you with money, before you spend any is like looking at a woodstove and saying to it, "as soon as you give me heat, then I will give you wood." If you are doing this, you will have a long cold wait.
This is one of the reasons that many people teach tithing. It is not about getting your money, (and yes, I am sure there are people who do want to get it, but I don't attract them into my life.) It is about teaching you one of the greatest prosperity secrets out there. However, it must be done with a loving heart and not with, well I'll try this, but it better work. If you are doing that, you are wasting your time and money.
I am living proof that you can have many things go wrong, face challenge after challenge, and still come out a head.
I kept a can do attitude through out all of my barriers and would repeat, there is always away. I have it up on my wall, because the message that I want to give myself is that nothing can stop me that I have made a commitment to achieve.
Remember it is important to ask yourself, what message am I giving to myself AND is it a message that I want to give myself. If you don't like the answer, ask why am I saying this, what is my belief around this. If you find that it doesn't work, throw it out and replace it with a new message.
One of the easiest ways to realize what you have been saying is to look around and notice what you have on some level attracted to yourself. This is not about any blame or judgments, it is about saying, if I don't like what is in my life then I need to communicate what I truly desire to be and have in my life.
Words are very powerful. That is the good news and that is the bad news. All depending on how you use them. With words we can hurt, destroy, and spread hatred or we can build confidence, give encouragement, or even attract success happiness, and joy into our lives.
One other poster I have on my wall says, "When you are thinking a thought, ask yourself...
Would I be willing to have THIS thought manifest into solid form or real effect in my life in the next three minutes?
If not, change your thoughts.
Why should we be concerned about our subconscious mind?
Up to 90% of our life is being controlled by our subconscious mind. The most obvious part of that 90% is off course the biological functioning of our body. We do not consciously control our metabolism, heart rate, the filling of our bladder and dozens of other bodily functions, although it has been proven that several of these functions CAN be consciously controlled.
But the subconscious mind controls much more than that.
The way we think, act, react, walk, talk, what we like and dislike are all being controlled by our subconscious mind.
It has long been known that our subconscious mind is very much like a computer. Whatever that computer does, depends on how it has been programmed. And the programming of it, depends on the kind of data it has been fed.
For example: if a child is being raised in a family where the parents openly consume high amounts of alcohol, the child will most likely grow up doing the same thing.
The reason for it is simple. The more you witness something (feel, hear or see), the more your subconsciousness will consider it to be "normal" and therefore decide it is absolutely accepted to do the same.
This is of course a very clear and understandable example. However, most people don't realize that our subconscious mind does this with every imaginable aspect of our life.
The younger we are, the easier we will be influenced by such external factors, because our "hard disk" has not yet been filled with programs. The older we get, the more our subconsciousness is filled with these programs and the less likely we are to accept a new way of thinking and feeling.
Considering this, it would be a fairly accurate assessment to state that most part of our life and personality as adults is nothing more than the product of the environment we grew up in. And there in lies the danger!
As a child, we can not control the environment we grow up in. And yet, that environment controls (for the most part) how we will develop as human beings. Consequently, the quality of our life as adults is largely determined by the kind of environment we grew up in.
Reprogramming our subconscious mind.
It is generally known that our way of acting, reacting, thinking and feeling, strongly determines the way our life will evolve, whether that is on an emotional, physical or materialistic level.
It is therefore of the utmost importance that the programming of our subconsciousness has been done in a way that optimizes our chances on a successful development on all these levels.
Unfortunately, for most people, that is not the case. Even those who grew up in a seemingly "normal and positive" environment often have flaws in their programming, which are often not even detected because society considers those flaws to be "normal"!
However, what can be programmed, can also be re-programmed!
Just think about the subliminal publicity we're being bombarded with. Every single day we are being fed certain words and images, dozens of times, because these words and images are known to (re)program our subconsciousness and make us want (or fear, or hate) certain things.
Off course, before we can start making any changes in our subconscious programming, we need to be aware that something is "not right". Becoming "aware" might actually be the most difficult part of the reprogramming.
Once you are aware of whatever is holding you back from having a successful and happy life, you can start working on it.
How you can change the existing programming depends on what exactly is wrong with it. Basically, you will need to replace old ideas by new ones, and the way you do that is by realizing or accepting the new ideas or more useful than the old ideas, and repeating them to yourself over and over again.
This will take some time off course. But as the old saying goes: the more you practice, the better you get at it!
If you feel like you're not leading the life you could, or you're not as happy as you would like to be, it may be time for you to check out which part of your subconscious programming is holding you back!

The Law of Replacement is a universal law from the universe which allows you to extract positive energy from a person, place, or thing (thought) from within your atmosphere.
You then use what you recently extracted to replace the negative thought with the positive thought taken from your atmosphere. This is resulted from the energy delivered based on the extraction (from the sender) and mutually accepted (by the recipient).
Since the mind can only think one thought at-a-time, you can only replace one conceived thought at-a-time.
If you look back into the origins of science, you will find statistical facts such as; matter cannot be destroyed, it can only be converted or transitioned into another state.
The exact same concept works and applies the same way with your thoughts and the transitioning of your thoughts. The more negatives you learn to replace with positives, the more positive energy you will invite into your life.
For example: transitioning negative into positive. The moment you entertain your negative thought is the very moment you must think of something or someone else that makes you feel good to bypass the negative energy and fill it with a better thought. After you experience your first positive feeling, you want to stay focused on that thought and feed off of it with other leading positives.
You do this until you've established a healthy relationship with your thoughts and the behavior attached to your thought. You want to create a lifestyle out of the habit called positive thinking. Positive thinking is a habit you either possess or choose not to learn and obtain its magnetic aura of enjoyable living. Make the choice to possess the habit.
Your positive thought has more authority over the negativity that is looking to seep into your mind and prevail over your life.
The more you practice exercising your thoughts, the probability of it becoming a positive habit increases until you've reached the point of achievement. It is more likely you will program your mind to think better and live a lifestyle as a leading result of your positive persistence.
One of the most important questions pertaining to The Law of Replacement is this...
When does the healing process actually take place inside negative thoughts?
The healing process takes place during the very moment you subconsciously make the decision to obey your conscious state by replacing one negative thought with one positive thought.
You must believe it to be true in order for it to be known to your reality. It is the exact point in time within the transition (healing occurrence) that coincides with the law of replacement. You then become delivered from your negative thought resulted from the positive energy released by your positive thought of reinforcement. The healing process actually takes place during the transition as a result of your decision to do so.
