“First: 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 toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.
Second: 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.” ~ Napoleon Hill from Think and Grow Rich
Brilliant. Let’s be clear by recognizing the fact that before the “first” in this self-confidence formula, you MUST know your major definite purpose.
(Did you fill your major definite purpose in above? If yes, sweet. If not, what are you waiting for?!? Even if you don’t have 100% clarity, write SOMETHING (anything!!) down and churn the idea until it really has deep resonance for you that can stoke your fire of burning desire... In fact, perhaps the most powerful purpose you can have at that stage is to figure out what your definite purpose is! (THAT is a HUGE step forward. Get a burning desire to really figure out what you’re here to do, refuse to see failure as an option and take consistent action toward your objective and voilà! You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results. :)
OK. So, you have your definite purpose. Now, DEMAND of yourself “persistent, continuous action toward its attainment” and promise to take such action.
And, knowing that your dominant thoughts WILL manifest in your reality, why not spend 30 minutes imagining you ideal self. Super powerful way to rock your confidence.
(Also, you might dig Kelly Howell’s 30-minute guided meditation called “Destiny.” Check it out at BrainSync.com. I’ve done it 125+ times in the last several months and love it. :)
