………………….continued from last week
So, how does one develop faith? Napoleon Hill provides a clue when he says, “Faith is a state of mind that may be induced by self-suggestion.” If faith is a state of mind, then that state of mind must remain the same or positive, regardless of what the eyes see physically as the situation of the person concerned.
Self-suggestion is simply using words to state verbally what you are trying to achieve. For example, you can say to yourself, “I want a hundred million dollars from my business of telecommunications and I believe I will get it.” In order to get the desired results, you MUST continue to say the words of your purpose in life and BELIEVE that you WILL get it.
What I want you, dear reader, to know, is that the state of mind known as faith cannot be attained overnight. It must be nurtured CONTINUOUSLY to become a part of oneself. A popular Chinese proverb says, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
So it is with the journey to acquire the state of mind called faith. You must be patient in your efforts to acquire that state of mind known as faith. I need to emphasize this because many who desire that state of mind and are in a hurry to get it usually give up when they meet with difficulties.
So it is with the journey to acquire the state of mind called faith. You must be patient in your efforts to acquire that state of mind known as faith. I need to emphasize this because many who desire that state of mind and are in a hurry to get it usually give up when they meet with difficulties.
They give up because they assume it is achievable almost immediately. However, one way to know that you are almost there, in achieving the faith state of mind is contained in the words of Napoleon Hill, “Observe very closely, as soon as you master the principles of this philosophy, and begin to follow the instructions for applying those principles, your financial status will begin to improve, and everything you touch will begin to transmute itself into an asset for your benefit.”
The important principle Napoleon Hill was referring to in his comment above is acquiring the state of mind known as faith, and the instructions for applying those principles is simply stating in writing and continuously saying it verbally what your life’s ambition is and believing in your heart that it would come to pass.
I agree with the words of Napoleon Hill because I have put it to practice and it has worked for me and continues to work for me. This means it should and will work for anyone who is patient enough to nurture his or her mind to the level of faith!
Another sign of faith ‘consciousness’ you would observe is that you will now feel an inner peace within your heart – nothing would be a source of worry to you. The reason for this is simple – you have come to the understanding that EVERY situation or problem in life has a solution and so you become focused on solutions and not the problems anymore.
Regardless of whatever obstacle, challenge or problem may come between you and what you want to achieve in life, you MUST continue to believe that you will achieve it; you MUST continue to say your goals verbally with your own words and you MUST continue to take action in the direction of the one thing you want to achieve.
That is precisely how you will come to achieve the state of mind known as faith. The person who has faith does not recognize any such thing as failure or impossibilities in what his or her intentions are. He or she keeps moving in the direction of the goal until it is achieved.
People may tell you your goals are impossible and unachievable – family, friends, siblings, relatives, etc – it is when you accept that what they say becomes true. If you refuse to accept and keep believing that what you want is attainable, your mind develops to the level known as faith, and you are definitely on your way to achieving what you desire in life.
When you then call God’s word in prayer with the mind state of faith you have attained, nothing can come between you and your goal in life. With this process, you can achieve whatever it is that you set your mind on. Take note, again, that the one reason people fail to get their desired results is precisely their attitude and action.
They cannot believe they can attain their objectives once they run into obstacles. They also doubt God’s words and His ability to help them. They simply give up. Consistency in words and action in the direction of your desired goal will take you to the mind state called faith and even beyond until you attain that goal.
If only people understood the secrets I have just given to you about faith, the world would be a better place because they would understand that their ability to achieve is within their grasp and they would utilize that ability accordingly.
Dear reader, now that you know the greatest secret ever given to man by God, what will you do with it? If you want to achieve in life, then use it. I have to warn, however, that some people also know this secret and use it destructively. How unfortunate!
Yes, it equally works when used destructively because the person knows and understands that he or she will surely get what he or she desires. I advise you to use it positively and teach others to do the same.
