THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE

The great success teacher Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think and Grow Rich,” felt imagination is the most powerful force in the world. Hill, who was commissioned by the great and wealthy Andrew Carnegie to teach people about making their dreams come true, was an advisor to two U.S. presidents. Many of the greatest people attribute their success to him, including former US President Woodrow Wilson George Eastman (founder of Kodak), and many others.
Albert Einstein agreed with Hill, and felt that imagination is “the greatest creative force” known to man.
What great people actually relied on imagination? The richest man in the world, Bill Gates, has revealed that he imagines his products before they take reality. Gates actually takes one week off each month and retreats to stoke his imaginative powers. Another great example is the man responsible for today’s automobile industry – Henry Ford. What he created could only have come from a fertile imagination, since it had never before existed.
What did these great people all have in common? They started with a mental vision and built great empires. They had a dream, and they went to work to manifest it.
Now the fact is, you are already experiencing what you imagine, what ever it may be. Your mental images are the virtual blueprint from which your life is built.
Your ideas and dreams absolutely predict what you will become and achieve. Look at your inner self today, and you can ABSOLUTELY predict your life tomorrow. This operates without exception. You attract people and situations that are in line with your thoughts. The same is true for places, conditions and situations.
But here’s where I have to disagree with Napoleon Hill and Einstein. Yes, imagination is powerful. But I do not think our active imagination as powerful as they assume. Here’s why: There’s something even MORE powerful than active imagination at work -- and that’s our UNCONSCIOUS IMAGINATION. And this is the REAL force!
You probably already realize that your past experiences influence your imagination. This is the place where 97% of people fall flat in terms of manifesting their dreams.
Why?
The problem is this: Your subconscious mind might NOT agree with your ability to actually achieve what you imagine.
Your subconscious mind creates goals of its own based on your past experiences. And because it’s connected to your brain’s survival center it tries to protect you from what IT imagines, which is the pain of failure or disappointment. A typical subconscious goal might be,” I will never again risk having an intimate relationship.” And yes, this then becomes a brain-based goal!
This is why you’ll often hear messages in the back of your head saying things like, “You’re just going to fail and give up, so just forget it.”
You’ve heard those messages before. I call them ANTs (Automatic Negative Messages). Your subconscious mind uses these ANTs to control your ability to actually act on what you imagine.
As a result, you have a subconscious “behavioral guidance system” that continually tells you what to do next, and your brain automatically acts on these suggestions before you are even consciously aware of them.
And the sad fact is this: Your subconscious goals have the upper hand over your conscious imagination and goals because activate the powerful portions of your brain responsible for emotion and survival.
Your higher-level brain (where imagination lies) then has to compete with this powerful influence. And because the subconscious mind operates 24/7, even when you are sleeping, this can be quite a battle. This is one of the biggest reasons that 97% of the people who try to manifest what they imagine are doomed to fail.
What’s the answer? If you want to move into the ranks of the 3% who actually manifest the lives they imagine, you absolutely have to rewire your subconscious mind, take control of your ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts), and COMMIT to what you imagine.
Take a moment to imagine actually committing to break lose of this and becoming one of the 3 percent. Did you hear the ANTs (Automatic Negative Messages) immediately provide all the excuses to keep you in your “comfort zone?” You just brushed up against your own subconscious guidance system – the one that is REALLY in control of your ability to manifest your dreams.
If this makes you mad, I’m actually happy for you. Anger is a powerful motive force that just might push you into action.
And if this does manage to make you mad enough to commit to take action, I personally invite you to participate in a life-changing experience – my Zap Your Life Gold Course. This IS your life! Are you ready to make it more of what you imagine it could be? Come tap into your REAL power!
