This ministry and services will always be tied up with learning, growing, thinking, sharing and wonderfully becoming. I will continue to use the same learning and teaching pattern established in GGMP part III, in which I wrote in outline form encouraging the student to fulfill given assignments so that they could develop their own independent research taking advantage of free internet tools, then coming together in the Facebook group site- Life Experience Academy- to share insights, questions and comments. This web-blog was created in part for the same purpose. My hope is that it will pick up speed and interest. I’m supposing that for a long time people in the web have been accustomed to being inundated with free information and knowledge. I think people are stuffed up with so much of it. We all have been spoiled and had everything just handed to us. The result of all this in my view, is that people have become choosy in a good way and others just don’t flat out understand the treasures that are being spoiled because of not recognizing the great love and sacrifice in time and effort that goes into expressing your thoughts and life experiences.
This is why I am using a different approach to sharing information and teaching. I’m going to call it mining for Gold, as to the process of actual digging, dredging, and looking to find those trinkets or golden nuggets. In our search for that hidden knowledge and wisdom I hope that by encouraging and inspiring some of you to get involved in this mining process is that once you start discovering these hidden truths, knowledge, and wisdom, that you would learn to appreciate them as truly finding Gold. Because once you start finding it, and “…once you start organizing that knowledge into intelligent directed purposes towards chief definite goals, you will experience success” –Napoleon Hill. As Mr. Wallace D, Wattles says repeatedly in His book “The Science of Getting Rich”, “If you think in a Certain Way, and do things in a Certain Way, with a mathematical certainty you will get rich, because there is only but one shortest distance between two points.” Wow!!! Are these Golden nuggets or what?
If you are visiting this site for useful content, yes, you will find a lot of that here and you’re welcome to copy and paste, but if you’ve come to join us whom by faith I believe are here already then you’ve come to the right place, welcome!!! Are you ready? Ok, let’s have some fun.
I will now share a commentary written by the Trauma Specialist and Christian Therapist, H. Norman Wright in his book, “A Better Way to think: Using Positive Thoughts to Change Your life . Published by Revell a Division of Baker Publishing Group, Grand Rapids MI, 2011. ” He writes the following,
“The twenty-one-day rule applies to most changes we want to make. When you’ve introduced a new habit or stopped an old one, be sure to be persistent in the new behavior for at least twenty-one days. Don’t expect a new habit to feel natural right away. Some habits might take twice as long to really stick. So be patient.”[1]
I’ll share with you another quote that relates to this subject. It was written by Dr. Victor Nazario one of my professors at the Christian University, in his book, “Prosperous Leaders in The New Millennium.” He wrote,
“…This is the reason that when we try to ‘will’ ourselves to stop certain habits, they continue to rear their ugly heads in our most vulnerable moments. We think and process at a conscious level; however, we are continuously ‘overruled’ by the belief systems which are deeply rooted at a ‘subconscious’ level, which is active all the time and overpowers our conscious efforts to change our daily habits.’’
That is why it is imperative that you renew your mind. The problem is not external It is completely internal in nature. When we renew our minds, everything will begin to change and shift for the better. The bottom line is that most of our problems do not evolve from external issues. The real issue is what we believe and accept as truth within our ‘subconscious’ thought.
Dr. Wexler offers an important statement regarding the subconscious mind in page 18 of her book:
‘Your subconscious mind accepts everything you present to it as being of equal importance and reality. If you tell your subconscious mind that the “world is out to get you”- it will treat this as being totally unquestioned reality, and will encourage you to respond accordingly.
If, on the other hand, you inform your unconscious mind that the “world is on your side and supporting your success” it will treat this as a total unquestioned reality, and will guide your actions accordingly.
In short: Your subconscious mind is the source of your dreams, your hunches, your intuition… and all the “inner messages” that determine what you will (and will not) achieve in your life.’
Dr. Wexler and many other brain wave researchers believe that what you hold to be true dictates how you respond to life in general. Looking at it in this perspective brings on a deeper meaning to the verse ‘For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…’- Proverbs 23:7.”[1]
This is a portion copied from GGMP part III, Study# 2. I will now ask you to take out some time and follow this link to YouTube and listen to this audio-book portion of the “Laws of Success –Cosmic Habit Force” by Napoleon Hill. This is about an hour long. http://youtu.be/lnXwn7aLMQY Try and answer the following questions:
1. What was this Law called or referred too previously in his evolving philosophy?
2. What did he realized about this law later on?
3. In your opinion, what relation has the “Law of Cosmic Habit Force” to the “law of attraction” mentioned in one my posts.
4. How do these Laws and the quoted material stated above relate to our practical experience?
I hope some of you will be encouraged to participate. This is what life experience is all about
