Perhaps you think you’ve heard all this before. Right now you are saying; “I’ve heard this before; just say ‘I’m wealthy!’ over and over and Manna will fall from the Heavens. Well I’ve tried Positive Thinking before and it doesn’t work, or it doesn’t work for me!”
Well, that’s true. Positive Thinking by itself is not very effective. We’re back to bailing out that sinking ship with a thimble.
At Dale Carnegie’s suggestion, Napoleon Hill interviewed over 500 rich and successful people in an effort to derive a system that others could use to elevate themselves to success and riches.
The product of this research was Think and Grow Rich, and in this book, Hill professes to mention the secret no less than 100 times. If you’ve never read this book, it is highly recommended. You can get a free copy of this book as well as 49 other self-help classics by following this link; http://www.xehupatl.com/oldschool.htm
Let us take a close look at a technique that is given in this book; Mr. Hill advises the reader to set a very specific goal for whatever it is that they want. You can read more about the details of proper goal setting either in Think and Grow Rich, or also look in the Personal Goal Setting category of this blog;

It’s very important to do the goal setting right.
What you are trying to accomplish with this special type of goal setting is to get your subconscious mind to respond with ideas.
Many prosperity teachers have stated that our thoughts are the instruments by which we manifest the prosperity that is all around us. This means that our subconscious is connected to the One Universal Mind and therefore has access to data and wisdom that our conscious mind does not.
Through the use of these special goals, we tap into a Higher Authority that will guide us into taking Right Action as, opportunities that seemed hidden before, begin to appear to us.
Mr. Hill relates how inventive geniuses like Edison and Tesla regularly used this method to get inspiration.
So the first point you need to understand is this; the object of this work is to create an accurate picture of your desire in your subconscious mind. (Step 1) Keep in mind that your subconscious is very literal.
What this means is that if you are repeating over and over “I am wealthy,” but, at the same time, you are worried about bills or thinking “no I’m not,” you’re back with that thimble in your hands.
Also, your subconscious mind works with images and feelings, not so much with the logic of your conscious mind. It is one reason why you have these two different types of mind.
Therefore you must communicate your desires to your subconscious largely by feelings. Create whatever feelings are appropriate to already having your desire!
Also, always phrase your affirmations in the present tense;
Not ‘I want,’ but ‘I have’ or ‘I am!’
This can be done with the right types of meditation techniques, done two to three times every day, until you ‘manifest’ your desire. Again visit my blog for more resources on these types of meditations;

Important to keep in mind, however, that it is not enough to do the meditations and then revert to your ‘normal’ state of mind, if it is one of worry and negativity!
What you are after is a complete change of outlook, thought and attitude. A complete change of being.
If you wish to change your life for the better, you must first change your mind for the better!
