Most successful people are those who consciously paint a picture of themselves as successful person. Those who are convinced that they are a failure will definitely fall. The conscious self that thinks feels and takes decisions is a very tiny part of our consciousness. The subconscious is much vaster. But the subconscious cannot think for itself; it cannot decide what is right or wrong. If you believe that you cannot achieve something, the subconscious will create conditions that your beliefs are proved.

Hence to achieve success you must believe in success and paint your picture accordingly. Success is not produced by the conscious alone; the subconscious must co-operate and support the conscious. Subconscious can only obey and hence you have to decide and programme it accordingly. It is like an autopilot of an aircraft, it will take the plane in the direction in which the autopilot is set. Therefore one has to be very careful of the thoughts in his mind particularly when falling asleep. If only we can make use of right affirmations at the right time we can work wonders.

Speaking to your subconscious with magnetic determination is called affirmation. Whatever one wants to affirm he should affirm it over and over again. For greater effectiveness the affirmation should be positive, for instance if you wish to give up smoking, don’t say ‘I shall never smoke again’; but say “I have given up smoking”. Affirm this as if you are free from this habit. Positive thoughts induce magnetism and help better in achieving success.
