“The law of the subconscious mind works for good and bad ideas alike. This law, when applied in a negative way, is the cause of failure, frustration, and unhappiness. However, when your habitual thinking is harmonious and constructive, you experience perfect health, success, and prosperity.”

– JOSEPH MURPHY

Repetition Can Train Your Subconscious Mind

There is a saying in 3 Idiots --

"ALL IS WELL" -  Ranchoddas Chanchhad

and this book proves that-

'ki hamara dil sach mai bevakoof hai yaar usko bas bolo all is well aur adhi takleef wahi khatam hojayengi.'

Joseph Murphy provides the example of Enrico Caruso, who was an Italian opera singer in the late nineteenth century. Enrico was incredibly nervous before shows and would subsequently suffer from throat spasms before performances. This nervousness was his conscious mind impairing a skill that had become subconscious for him. Joseph Murphy explains that the conscious mind took over as he was bogged down with negative thoughts. He was worried about the performance going badly and the crowd reacting in a hostile manner. Despite this, he was able to conquer these physical reactions by repeatedly telling his conscious mind to stop interfering with his subconscious mind. This meditative practice allowed him to reduce his fears and perform naturally and automatically. 

Positive Thinking and Visualization Are Integral to Achieving Your Dreams

Positive thinking and visualization can heal. In the eighteenth century, priests would heal the sick by persuading them to believe God would make them better. Some would attribute the success of this practice to the existence of God. However, it is more likely that these practices recruited the subconscious mind. 

All of us know that long before Anesthesia got discovered treatment and operations were carried out by Indian Guru's by methods of ayurveda and it was all because our subconscious mind was forced to believe that there is no pain.

Let Go of All Negative Thoughts

“What the other person says or does cannot really annoy or irritate you except you permit him to disturb you. The only way he can annoy you is through your own thought. For example, if you get angry, you have to go through four stages in your mind: You begin to think about what he said. You decide to get angry and generate an emotion of rage. Then, you decide to act. Perhaps, you talk back and react in kind. You see that the thought, emotion, reaction, and action all take place in your mind. When you become emotionally mature, you do not respond negatively to the criticism and resentment of others.”

The Three Steps to Success

Love Your Work

It might be hard sometimes, but loving your work will hugely improve your quality of life. If you are doing a job you genuinely love, it won’t feel like work. You will be ingrained in your craft and completely motivated to continue working. You might be struggling to find a job that you genuinely love. If so, Joseph Murphy recommends asking for guidance from career experts. However, you must also proceed with faith and confidence that you will find the job that you love.

Specialize

If you manage to find a job that you love, you should look to specialize in particular areas. Perfecting a craft is a thoroughly rewarding pursuit. It allows you to become a leader in your field. Mastering your work will help make you feel more fulfilled, and economic success will follow.

Altruism

Joseph Murphy describes this as the most crucial step to happiness. Your love of work cannot be associated with selfish desires. Instead, you gain the most happiness from your motivations being tied to a cause beyond yourself. A cause that serves humanity. 

Fears Are Just False Thoughts

“You grow old when you lose interest in life, when you cease to dream, to hunger after new truths, and to search for new worlds to conquer. When your mind is open to new ideas, new interests, and when you raise the curtain and let in the sunshine and inspiration of new truths of life and the universe, you will be young and vital.”
