The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

I keep receiving very inspiring messages, and this one lists the 10 concepts laid out by Dr. Joseph Murphy in his book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.

  1. Think about good things, and good things will follow.
    Think about bad things, and bad things will follow.
    You are exactly what you think at every moment of your days.
  2. Your subconscious mind never questions whether you are right or wrong.
    It just accepts that which your conscious mind determines.
  3. You have always the power to choose between the good and the bad.
    You can choose to be friendly or to be unfriendly.
    Choose to be healthy, joyful, helpful, happy, friendly, and sympathetic and everybody else will respond the same way.
  4. Your conscious mind is the gate keeper.
    Its main function is to protect the subconscious mind from false impressions.
    Believe that something good is going to happen, and that it is already happening right now, in this exact moment.
    Your biggest strength is your capacity to choose. So choose that which makes you feel well.
  5. The suggestions and affirmations of others don't have any power to affect you.
    The only power comes from your own thoughts about what others say and your reaction to it.
  6. Be careful with what you say. You will have to answer for each irresponsible word you say.
    Never say "I will fail." Your subconscious mind don't know the difference between a joke and something real. It just accepts everything as being true.
  7. Your mind is not geared toward bad things, and no force in nature leads to bad things.
    It all depends on how you use the powers of nature.
  8. Never say that you can't do something. Overcome your fears, and use the following affirmation: "I can do everything through the power of my subconscious mind."
  9. You are the captain of your (subconscious) soul; you are the lord of your destiny.
    Remember: "You have the capacity to choose. Choose happiness!"
  10. Anything that your conscious mind believe to be true will be accepted by your subconscious mind which will make sure it becomes true.

We can make the world a better place by simply making ourselves better persons. (Paulo)
