What Are You Feeding Your Mind?

We learn from Napoleon Hill in Think And Grow Rich that "Thoughts are things and powerful things at that".

So what are you feeding your mind?  What do you watch on TV?  What books, magazines, news papers are you reading?  What video games do you play.  What company do you keep?

Your brain is constantly absorbing and echoing whatever you feed it through your senses.  Your thoughts echo what you hear and see.  If you subject your brain to a lot of negativity and violence, you will be echoing this negativity and violence.  Just like the criminal who starts off being ashamed of the crimes he is commiting and gradually becomes desentisized to the crimes, you will become "imune" to violence if you watch too many horror movies and/or play too many violent video games.

Have you ever heard someone say that "You speak your reality into existence."?  What do they mean by that?  It simply means that you will get what you think and speak about the most.  If you are constantly talking about the bad things happening to you, you will recieve more bad things.  You are in control, think about the wonderful experiences you've had and you will recieve more of them.

Here is a quote from Raymond Holliwell's Working With The Law "The mind is a magnet and attracts whatever corresponds to 

its ruling state.  Whatever we image in mind, whatever we expect and think about, will tend to bring into our lives the 

things and conditions that are in harmony therewith. Science has convincingly proven the existence and constant operation 

of the Law of mental attraction. For this reason everyone should be doubly careful about how and what he thinks. Our 

predominant mental attitude is the primary cause of most everything that comes into our lives, and the sooner we realize 

this truth, the sooner we shall begin to improve our lives and progress."

Statistics reveal that the the average american watches and average og four hours of television every day.  That is 28 hours per week, 1,456 hours per year.  At that rate the average american will spend 13 years of his/her life in front of the TV.  That is 13 years of your life away from your family.  Lets face it, even if you are watching with your family, you are not really with them.

Whats even worse is that this is 13 years of your life where you are letting other people control what you are feeding your mind.  Is that what we really want.  Remember that we have the ability to control what enters our mind.  Also that most of what is on TV is often negative and includes wanton violence.

So why are we allowing the media to control our thoughts?   I believe that for too many people, they allow the "noise" to override their own thoughts.  They are afraid of the their own thoughts.  So watching TV is a way to drown their thoughts just like the alcoholic or the drug adict trying to "drown" his/her sorrows.  We all know that trying to "drown" our sorrows does not work.  We may be oblivious to them but they are still there and will resurface sooner or later.

The main problem that I see with the media in general is that it is telling us WHAT to think.  We need to learn HOW to think by becoming critical thinkers and form our own opinion.  And relax folks, you would be surprised how wonderful the inner silence is.  Once you get to know the real you, you live in peace and don't need that annoying noise to drown your thoughts.

The best way to learn HOW to think and to control what you feed your mind is to join our 30 Mental Cleanse program.  It is totally free, all we ask for is a few hours of your time each week.  Just go to http://30daycleanse.com/ and join us.  What have you got to lose?  Only your negativity.  You will gain control of your thoughts and your life.  No string attached and you progress at your own pace.  Oh, yes, we do ask you to give up TV, news papers, magazines, etc for 30 days.  If that is too much for you then I wish you luck with the rest of your life.  If you really want to own your life and learn how to feed your mind with positive thoughts, join us.  We accept anyone who is willing to improve their lot in life.

CHAPTER 15 HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR

This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

CHAPTER 15
HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR

What is fear anyway?  Wikipedia defines fear as "Fear is an emotion induced by a threat perceived by living entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behaviour, such as running away, hiding or freezing from traumatic events. Fear may occur in response to a specific stimulus happening in the present, or to a future situation, which is perceived as risk to health or life, status, power, security, or in the case of humans, wealth or anything held valuable. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis."

I can't help but notice that the word "perceived" is used twice and the word "perception" once, in this definition.

In his book The Motivation Manifesto, Brendon Burchard says "Fear rips us from freedom, it is the DESTROYER OF greatness."

He later explains what The Cost Of Fear is as follows "To tame fear we must first recognize the horrid effects on our lives.  What comes of us when we are motivated by fear?  We lose our emotional centre and mental character.  Our thoughts become frazzled and riddled with anxiety.  All conscious thinking, intelligence and behaviour narrow to self-protection, limiting our capabilities to be open and strong.  Our natural tendencies for genuine self-expression are paused, and our ability to act to fulfil our dreams is paralyzed.  When we allow fear as a constant in our lives, our ambitions and behaviours become small and constrained.  We become timid and stressed.  We withdraw.  We become cowards.  Life's energy entropies -- all things trapped in the cage of fear smother and die quickly."

Fear is but an excuse to not take action.  It is the easy way out of a daunting situation.  I fear rejection, therefore I will not call my ebook downloads.

It takes courage and action to overcome fear.  When we realize that rejection will not physically harm us and that, unless we allow it, it will not harm us emotionaly.  Overcoming fear takes constant action, which builds confidence.

Conficence is the antidote for fear.  The more you do something that you feared, the less you will fear it.

Overcoming fear will give you freedom!

CHAPTER 14 THE SIXTH SENSE THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM

CHAPTER 14
THE SIXTH SENSE
THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches

Michael reminds us constantly to live in the "now", the past is dead and the future is the future.  We can't change the past and the future will happen by what we do NOW!

I was watching a short video on meditation where the author was trying to define meditation.  Here is the way it was explained and  I thought this was very appropriate to explaining what living in the "now" is.

When a musician plays music, the object is not to get to the end of the piece as quickly as possible because if it was then the musicians who play the fastest would be the best.  No, the point of playing music is to savour every note, play every note as if it were the only note you have to play.

When you dance, the object of dancing is not to reach the end but to enjoy every step and to want for the dance to never end.

That is what living in the "now" means, savour every moment!

With much love and appreciation

CHAPTER 12 THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND THE CONNECTING LINK

CHAPTER 12
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
THE CONNECTING LINK

The Eleventh Step toward Riches

Hill tells us that "THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WORKS DAY AND NIGHT. 

Through a method of procedure, unknown to man, the subconscious mind 
draws upon the forces of Infinite Intelligence for the power with which it 
voluntarily transmutes one’s desires into their physical equivalent, making 
use, always of the most practical media by which this end may be 
accomplished."

What does this tell us?  Hill is telling us that the subconscious mind is a robot that never stops working.  What is most 
amazing is that it is our slave and we program it whether we are aware of it or not.  Hill also tells us "You cannot 
entirely control your subconscious mind, but you can voluntarily hand over to it any plan, desire, or purpose which you 
wish transformed into concrete form."

What happens is that your subconscious mind will do its best to give you what you think about the most.  If that is 
negativity, then that is what you get.  That is why our self talk is so important.  You have to tell your subconscious 
mind what you want, over and over and oever again.  Say your self talk over and over and over agian until it becomes such 
a habit that you will be saying it without even thinking about it.

THE MYSTERY OF SEX TRANSMUTATION By Marsha Sortino

This is a direct quote form a "lesson" posted by my good friend Marsha Sortino in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

THE MYSTERY OF SEX TRANSMUTATION By Marsha Sortino

The Tenth Step toward Riches

Can you feel the change?

It is the change that has us vibrating at the highest level through the emotion of sex. The emotion of sex is passion, charisma and sex appeal, all bundled in the highest calling we call Love. Love is eternal and we amplify this emotion that transcends us.

As I read this chapter, Mr. Hill says it is about changing of energy; that passion swelling up inside that must come out. It will be expressed in some form!

We have learned that self talk, a constant positive conversation with our selves and it is the driving force in change because we are speaking to the Divine. We change as we tell ourselves to change. It is our energetic vibrant power within us that says we are superstars. Yes, we are superstars in this arena called network marketing. We do not begin as superstars, we grow into superstars.  If we don't tell ourselves this, then who will? Exactly-no one will, except me, my friends here at the mastermind group in MFF and Michael and Lind Dlouhy who believe in me and the people we have engaged with whom we have inspired and been inspired by. We attract this energy and are also attracted to this energy that flows around us and within us as we pour out more sex transmuting energy.

And then there are our ebook downloads from people who come to know like and trust us.  Are we creating the magic connection with them also? Are we being of service to them

So the mystery is me falling in love with me and my Life once again, renewing joy and inspiring myself and others intentionally. It was a process to feel fully and powerfully alive and authentic again. I feel free in the moment, which allows me to be present.

And as network marketers applying what we continue to study here in T&GR we attract what we want in life, the people, the places, the things and our spiritual growth. We become geniuses!  We demonstrate and communicate who we are and what we desire in Life.

As I change, the mystery becomes revealed to me. I become genuinely authentic, myself; growing into the person I was meat to become all along.

Get determined, get driven, find your courage, be your own cheerleader, find your passion and attract the people who become your superstars with you!

Sex transmutation is change from within and you must feel it. You cannot buy it. You cannot fake it. You must become that person people are attracted to through the good, positive, sexy energy you transcend.


Much love and appreciation,

Marsha Sortino

Think & Grow Rich - Chapter 10 Power of a Master Mind - The Driving Force By Russ Aker

This is a direct quote form a "lesson" posted by my good friend Russ Aker in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :  

Think & Grow Rich - Chapter 10 

Power of a Master Mind - The Driving Force By Russ Aker

The Ninth Step toward Riches

The power of connecting with a Master Mind of like mined people in Network 

Marketing is like utilizing a pulley system to lift and maneuver heavy loads 

eliminating continued struggle and possible failure.  Many Network Marketers 

continue to struggle or fail because; individually they do not have the strength of 

Persistence, Knowledge or Skill to master what eventually seems overwhelming 

odds.

One should be asking, “And how do I pick a Master Mind Group and a Mentor I 

can trust?”  The answer is, both Master Mind and Mentor will always give and 

never take. “NEVER TAKE”!  If you are reading this lesson, you are “THREE 

FEET FROM GOLD”.

Have you ever read the book “Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill”?  Go to the 

Introduction.  Hill tells the story of Edwin C. Barnes, how through determination, 

Persistence and Faith he attained the assistance of a Mentor and Master Mind, 

used the new resources at his disposal to eventually master the Success 

Formula.  Using these principles he made himself number one man with Thomas 

Edison.  Then Hill relates a second story, he says, “let us look at a different 

situation, and study a man who had plenty of tangible evidence of riches, but lost 

it, because he stopped three feet short of the goal he was seeking, “THREE 

FEET FROM GOLD”.

If you are in a Network Marketing Opportunity and you are reading this lesson, I 

know you are digging for Gold.  Everyone who begins in Network Marketing 

caught a little “Gold Fever” and started digging for gold.  97% of all Network 

Marketers struggle and like most Gold Miners; they jump from claim to claim 

knowing they’ll strike it rich in the next opportunity.  Most keep struggling many 

eventually quit just like R. U. Darby.

Darby’s initial “Gold Strike” was pure luck and when the vein ran out Darby did 

not know what to do next.  Why did Darby quit, because he did not have the 

Knowledge or Skill to continue and he failed to seek a trusted source of expert 

council.

The story continues…”Darby sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred 

dollars, and took the train back home.  Some “junk” men are dumb, but not this 

one! He called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. 

The engineer advised that the project had failed, because the owners were not 

familiar with “fault lines.” His calculations showed that the GOLD vein would be 

found JUST THREE FEET from where Darby had stopped drilling! That is exactly 

where it was found!  The “Junk” man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, 

because he knew enough to SEEK EXPERT COUNCIL before giving up.”

We all know in Network Marketing people do not start with the “Luck” Darby was 

so blessed with.  So, words of warning, when considering a Network Marketing 

Opportunity, don’t be AMBUSHED by Human Nature?  If it sounds too good to be 

True...it is!  Success in Network Marketing is not based on chance or luck, it is 

not a lottery.  STOP being deceived by a little glittery gold dust; seek expert 

council through a trusted Mentor and Master Mind.

At this very moment you are THREE FEET FROM GOLD.  "Dig deeper" in your 

understanding and skills in Network Marketing and go for the vein.  Contact the 

person who shared this lesson with you and ask them for the free Book “Success 

in 10 Steps”.  I am confident you’ll find you have come in contact with expert 

council, a trusted Mentor and Master Mind.

CHAPTER 9 PERSISTENCE: THE SUSTAINED EFFORT NECESSARY TO INDUCE FAITH

This is a direct quote form a "lesson" posted by my good friend Barbara Wilson in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

CHAPTER 9
PERSISTENCE: THE SUSTAINED EFFORT NECESSARY TO INDUCE FAITH

Have you ever paid attention to a farm, season after season, year after
year? You may see the farmer out there through all kinds of weather taking
care of his crops or animals. It doesn't matter what nature throws at him,
he steadfastly goes about his chores.

We live in a farming community and see this all around us.  If a farmer
loses a calf because of a cold snap, he doesn’t stop taking care of the
rest of the cows.  If a freeze gets his peanuts, you will still see him
planting again next year.  If a storm lays down an almost ready wheat
field, he will just change his plans and bale it for hay instead of harvesting
the grain.  No, his crop won’t be as lucrative but all is not lost. He never
quits being a farmer because of adversity.

We can compare this to our network marketing business.  If we lose one
of our top team members, we don’t just quit.  We go find someone else.
If we find out that our company is not a five pillars company or it simply
goes out of business, we don’t quit.  We go find another company.  If our
company changes our comp plan, which may remove some of our goals,
and is still a basically good company, we don’t quit. We change our goals.
We don’t quit being a professional network marketer because of adversity.

Hill says that, “Without PERSISTENCE, you will be defeated, even before you
start. With PERSISTENCE you will win.”

When we start our network marketing journey, every one of us, like Hill
can say, “I had a fine opportunity, then and there, to kill off ambition
before it gained control of me.”  But know this, “Every minute
it lives, gives it a better chance of surviving.”

I have found this to be true.  Persistence keeps the fire burning brightly.
If you feel the fire burning low, the remedy is to take action.  Put out
invitations for your e-book, make some contact with new people on your
social media sites, or do some follow-up calls with your mentor.  Don’t
suffer in silence while the fire dies out and you die with your music still
in you.  If we do this we can make “Life yield whatever
price is asked.”

In Dave Ramsey’s book, The Legacy Journey, Dave tells this story. One
day over lunch, he was talking to a really rich guy, a billionaire to be
exact. Dave asked him this question, “What can I do today that will
get me closer to where you are in your business and in your wealth
building?”

He said, “Okay, here are two things.  First, I’ve never met anyone
who wins at money who doesn’t give generously.  You've got to keep a
giving spirit if you want to win long term.” Dave was excited about this.
He had this one down.

“Second, I want you to read a book. This is my favorite book. I read it
several times a year.  I read it to my children, and now I read it to my
grandchildren over and over. It will change your life, your money and
your business forever.” Dave is a reader so he was very excited about
this.  This megabillionaire was going to tell him the book that changed
his life.

He said, “Dave have you ever read The Tortoise and the Hare?...The
tortoise just keeps moving forward, slow and steady. And you know
what? Every time I read the book the tortoise wins.”
