THE SEED OF SUCCESS

FAITH : THE SEED OF SUCCESS

Never give in ! Never give in ! Never Never Never.
In nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in,
Except to convictions, or honour and good sense.
………. Sir Winston Churchill

Fight the good fight of faith,
Lay hold on eternal life.
………. I. Timothy

First it is ridiculed,
Second, it is violently opposed,
Finally it is accepted and self-evident.
….…..Arthur Schopenhauer.


Brave admiral, say but one good word….
What shall we do when hope is gone ?
The word leapt like a leaping sword…
Sail on ; Sail on ; and on ;
..…..Jouquin miller.

Even the darkest hour has only 60 minutes.

Be faithful in small things, because
It is in them that your strength lies.
………. Mother Teresa

FAITH CAN MOVE A MOUNTAIN

If you have a faith as a mustard seed you will say to this mountain ‘move from here to there’ and it will move and nothing shall be impossible for you.
……….. Lord Jesus
Faith is the head chemist of the mind. When faith is blended with thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to Infinite Intelligence, as in the case of prayer.
Faith is a state of mind which you may develop at will through the application and use of some principles.
Repetition of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.
......... Napolion Hill
This is the basic principles of Prayer and Autosuggestion. The impulse of thought which is repeatedly pass into the subconscious mind is, finally, accepted and acted upon by subconscious mind, which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent, by most proactical procedure available.
In connection with this, consider again the statement all thoughts which have been emotionalised (given feeling) and mixed with faith, begin to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.
Not only the thought impulses that mixed with faith, but those have been mixed with other positive emotions (like happiness, love, sex) or any negative emotion, may reachm and influence the subconscious mind.
There are millions of people who believe themselves "doomed" to poverty and failure, because of some strange force over which they believe they have no control. They are the creator of their own misfortune, because of this negative belief, which is picked up by subconscious mind and translated into physical equivalent.
At this point you have to deceive your subconscious mind by reverse or reinforcing with some positive thoughts and faith or believe. To make this 'deceit' more realistic, conduct yourself just as you would if you were already in possession of the material things/ success level which you are demanding, when you call upon your subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind will transmute into its physical equivalent, by the most direct and practical media available, any order which is given to it in a state of belief or faith that the order will be carried out.
It is essential for you to encourage the positive emotions as the dominating forces of your mind, and discourage - and eliminate negative emotions.
A mind dominated by positive emotions, becomes a favourable abode for the state of mind known as faith. A mind so dominated may at will, give the subconscious mind instructions, which it will accept and act upon immediately.
There must be a steady and unfailing practice of positive prayer if you are to succeed. And to pray you need faith. Possibility thinking is just another word for faith. You will be controlled by their positive thoughts or negative thoughts. One of the two emotions will dominate and drive you: either fear or faith. If you are not living by faith, then you will automatically be living by fear. Never surrender the leadership of your life to fear.
No force, no emotion is more paralyzing than fear. It stops a salesperson about to make a call, the young man to go for his goals, a job hunter about to seek an interview. In the whole sordid, sorry spectacle of human fears, none is more destructive and defeating than the fear failure.

If you are living by fear, then see this as a flaw for negative thinking. It will not stand up. It will crack for sure. Walk away from negative thinking. Dare to live by faith.

Faith is indeed the greatest miracle – working power imaginable. Faith never fails a person. We fail when we give up on faith. Faith sets you free from downgrading, negative emotions and replaces them with success-generating emotions.

Faith leads to dreaming. Dreaming leads to desiring. Desiring leads praying. Praying leads to beginning leads to deciding. Deciding leads to waiting. Waiting leads to paying the price. Paying the price leads to managing problems which ultimately leads to expecting success.
SELF-CONFIDENCE FORMULA :
Here is the Self-confidence Formula or Prayer of Autosuggestion ....
1. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life; therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towords its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.
2. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward physical action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture.
3. I know through the principle of prayer or autosuggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.
4. I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life and will never stop trying, untill I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
5. I fully realize the that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice; therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others. i will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude towards others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I believe in them and in myself. I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it loudly once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant, and successful person.

Five phases to fruit bearing which a seed of faith passes though to get success …
Get move your mountain….

1. The Nesting Phase :
When an idea drops into the mind as an egg is deposited in the birds nest. For too many people, faith never gets beyond the nesting phage. Ideas passes through the mind without being taken seriously.
I don’t think potential miracle working power of faith more than alack of self confidence. Faith is indeed most fragile at birth.
Greatness doesn’t depend upon your position in life, but upon your respect of the positive ideas that flow into your imagination.

Every person is creative, but a lot of people donot believe in their creativity. I told the bottom ladder employees that they were smart, they believed it. They came up with a solution because they were not well enough informed to know that their suggestion could not be done.
Most of us tend not to do anything about the incredible, magnificent ideas that come to our minds. Years later, when we read that somebody else has turned an idea into a great success, we may lament to ourselves, “I thought about that once. Why didn’t I do something about it?”.

Common people are brilliant it they believe in their own ideas. Most human beings have the same basic brain capacity. The major difference is the attitude that a person has towards his own ideas.

At an international psychological congress in Paris, France, Dr. H.E. Gruber of Rutgers University reported that research has led to the confidence belief that “ Child prodigies are not born, they are developed”.

The Kingdom of God is within you.
………. Jesus

The me I see is the me I’ll be.

Build a positive self-image to develop mountain – moving faith. Your mind`s image of yourself will release powers of self-actualization.

Positive results follow a positive mental picture. This is the irrecoverable law of faith built by God, into the universe. Draw now a positive picture of yourself, believe in your ideas, and faith will survive phase one.

2. The Testing Phase :
Ideas must be tested by asking questions that rise out of your own value system and knowledge.
Decision making is easy if there is no contradiction in your value system.
A positive idea implies questions like :
Is this really necessary ?
Is this really human need-filling idea ?
Can it be inspiring to other ?

How do you test the ideas that come into your mind ? I test mine by this universal principle : Will my faith, acted upon and firmly embraced cause my life and my activity to be an inspiration to somebody else to achieve more in his life ?
The truth is everybody is an inspiration to some body else.

3. The Investing Phase :
Investing phase is the point at which you make a public commitment. You commit time, money, energy, and – possibly the most valuable product of all – the pride and prestige to the publicly announced project. At this point many people find their faith faltering. If, by an act of will and prayer, you determine that you will make the public commitment, the odds are overwhelming that you can succeed.

So, faith is like a seed. If a seed is not planted, it can`t bear fruit. But a plant also needs to be watered to sprout. Once it is planted and watered, growth will begin to reach full maturity.

4. The Arresting Phase :

You have started, you have made the commitment. You’ve put your name on the line, you have started your run.

Now problem attack you. Troubles block you. Defeat seems certain. You begin to think you have bitten off more than you can chew. You wonder if you have make a terrible mistake with your investment. The arresting phase of faith is God’s way of testing us before the final victory.

So have faith, believe in yourself and pay heed to the words of Edgar A. Guest:

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sing,

When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must – but don’t quit.


He want to make sure : Are you really depending on Him? Will we really be grateful if we make it ? Can He trust with success? Are we going to humble enough to handle the big prize ?

Trust the sun – don’t trust the shadow. Believe in your dreams – don’t believe in your despairing thoughts. Have faith in your faith- and doubt in your doubt. Trust in your hopes- never trust in your hurts. And you will move on eventually, effectively, inspiringly to faith’s final phase the Cresting Phase.

5. The Cresting Phase
Yes, the crowning phase of faith is the cresting phase. The mountain top is scaled.
Success finally is achieved.
A bad habit is broken.
A mission is achieved.
You make your country proud; millions of poor get out of the poverty line, their standard of living increased.
Your country becomes prosperous, crores of job created. People get engaged adding GDP to country…..
The money starts flowing your way…
The bones are healed….
A broken relationship is healed…
The emptiness and loneliness of life is filled with new friends and loved one….
A new technique is invented…

God never fails to let the sun outlive the storm. And those who keep on keeping on ultimately survive successfully and in the process are an incredible inspiration to others to keep bravely fighting their battles too.

Now- Believe and you will achieve

You are as deserving and as capable of achieving success as any other person alive in the world today. God created you to be somebody who could be an inspiration to many people. Open your mind to receive possibility thought. They will come like an egg dropped in a nest. Tenderly receive them and be prepared to trust in them through the testing phase, investing phase, the arresting phase. Never abandon the dream until you have reached the Cresting Phase
