Awareness

Knowing and understanding one’s own mentality can help us along during our journey towards success. Mentality is sometimes defined as a subconscious readiness of an individual to behave or expect someone else to behave. Although we have a string of stereotyped characters or personalities listed out, we won’t list it out here because we don’t want you to think that you have to be a certain way in order to be successful. That’s because anyone can be successful if they adopt the right behavior and right attitude.

You see, every single minute of the day, we go through various activities and through these activities, our mind is stimulated with lots of input through our five senses. Our conscious mind can only absorb so much information and it has to filter the rest out. This is the job of the subconscious mind. Whatever we deem as not urgent, immediate or unimportant will be filtered out and kept in our subconscious mind…or thrown out altogether.

We can use this to our advantage and we need to make a mental shift and create an awareness that was never there before…or is already there but we have been ignoring it or procrastinating. Have you ever experienced something like this before?

If you’re trying to buy a car, you suddenly see the very same car that you fancy everywhere on the road. The fact is that the car has always been there and many other people are already driving the same car. And yet, it is only NOW that you see the cars everywhere on the road. This is because you have moved the car from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind. What used to be filtered information is now left in the conscious mind.

And here, we will make a mental shift - moving a goal into BOTH parts of your mind. The conscious mind AND the subconscious mind.

Make a goal - a definitive and profoundly important goal. A long-term goal to achieve something you want to achieve in life. Write it down in your journal or a piece of paper. You’re imprinting and making yourself AWARE of the goal whether you’re sleeping or awake. Another way to make yourself aware of your goal is to read the goal out load and check back on it regularly. Some people recommend that in order to make yourself aware of your goal, you can surround change your surrounding or even cut and paste pictures related to your goal into your journal or a special GOAL book. You are letting your goal burn, imprint and emboss itself into your subconscious mind.

This is where your life will change.

When you become aware of your goal, every single minute of the day, every decision you make and every thought you have will steer you in the direction of your goal. Yes, you will consciously make decisions to reach your goal but what you ultimately want is to make decisions, subconsciously, towards your goal too.

The power of the subconscious mind cannot be denied. Once you imprint your goals into your subconscious mind, you’re practically and literally unstoppable!
