Chapter 15
Our “subtle enemies” of INDECISION, DOUBT, and FEAR sometimes “remain hidden in the subconscious mind, where they are difficult to locate, and still more difficult to eliminate”. We have to identify them at their root, remove them, and replace these enemies with our friends- WILL-POWER, DEFINITE MAJOR PURPOSE, DECISION, BURNING DESIRE, and MIND CONTROL. “Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit. You either control your mind or it controls you. There is no halfway compromise. The most practical of all methods for controlling the mind is the habit of keeping it busy with a definite purpose, backed by a definite plan”.
The message to me from this section is- Have the willpower and self-discipline to set a habit of using personal positive self talk to reprogram my mind. Make the decision to do whatever it takes to achieve my definite purpose. Make a definite plan, commit to that plan, and take action. I know I have “spiritual forces of sufficient power to enable me to keep my mind free from all forms of FEAR”.
My current hurdle is fanning the flames of my wants and needs in order to ignite a BURNING DESIRE that will carry me through anything that tries to stop me. I know that MFF is the next part of the plan for my purpose in life. I know that Infinite Intelligence has always made plans for me. I can look back and see example after example of those plans. For example, when I graduated from college in 1977 it was extremely difficult to find a job. Many of my professors had tried to talk me into going on and becoming an engineer since my teaching degree was in mathematics and physics. I knew that I was meant to be a teacher. They kept telling me that the surplus of teachers would cause me to be unable to find a job. I told them that I WOULD find a job if I had to go to Alaska. For a girl for Alabama that would have been an extreme change!But I would have gone anywhere that it took for the job.
My plan was to apply to school systems in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee at first and then to expand the search if necessary. Of all the applications I sent out, only Tuscaloosa City and Tuscaloosa County called me for interviews (110 miles from my home). Each system had 4 or 5 openings and I was hired by Tuscaloosa County. After I signed the contract with them I got calls from several other schools closer to home. Why was it in the plan for me to go to Tuscaloosa? That is where I met my husband Sam. It was meant to be. When he came with me to my hometown for the first time, I was showing him around town. We drove past this little playground/park. He had “seen” it by his sixth sense in a dream. Confirmation of what we already knew- God’s purpose had been to put us together. We will be married 33 years in June.
I could go on and on with examples like this in our life. I am so thankful to Michael and Linda and all of the MFF and Mental Cleanse Mastermind for pointing the way to “power that will enable you to throw off discouragement, master fear, overcome procrastination, and draw freely upon your imagination”.
