Willena Flewelling - Alberta Canada

Saturday night on the coaches corner call, we discussed the importance of
remembering a person's name, calling him by the name he wants to be called
by, and pronouncing it correctly.
What's in a name, and what effect does it have on one's subconscious?
I was born Willena Rose Cummins, first child and only daughter of my father.
When I was a small girl, I didn't like being the only Willena in my entire school.
I didn't know anyone by the name of Rose either, except for my Great Aunt
Rose, for whom I was named. I liked Aunt Rose, but saw her as old lady with
a very old-fashioned name.
My father was hospitalized off and on for two years before he died of leukemia,
when I was 7. A year later my mom remarried. We never regained the stability
we had before my father fell ill. For the next ten years we moved EVERY school
year. Always in the same town, but flip-flopping among 3 of the 5 elementary
schools. My stepfather was a kind and generous man, but "friends" at school
never let me forget that he was "the town garbage man" and an alcoholic.
By the time I reached high school, I knew most of the kids there, but I had
no close friends.
All of this magnified in my mind the fact that I was "different", and did not fit
the mold. Being the only one with my name only magnified all the other
differences, and I felt isolated and very much a misfit.
One day when I was about 16, I was complaining to my mom about being the
only Willena in a school of 1200 students. I will never forget her response.
"Willena, have you ever stopped to think that your brown eyes and your first
name are the ONLY things your father gave you, that no one can ever take
away from you?"
Wow. THAT was a slap up the side of the head. Nine years after my father's
death, I still missed him sorely. Even now, 52 years later (he passed away on
Aug. 3, 1960), there is a hole in my heart because I still miss him.
My mom's simple words turned everything around for me. It didn't matter any
more that I was "the only one", or that people would mispronounce and misspell
my name. I wasn't "different" any more... I was unique. I had something special
and precious, that I would cherish from that day forward. I decided that day
that I would name my first daughter Willena, making it a family tradition in
honour of my father. There are three Willena's now. Willena Mae, Willena Rose,
and Willena Irene. And my daughter Irene hopes to pass the name on to her
first daughter.
The sweetest sound to a person's ear is the sound of his own name. When
you are speaking with a client, use his name. Find out how to pronounce it,
and make sure you are pronouncing it correctly. It will mean so much to him,
and give him the feeling that he is important to you.

Chapter 12 The Subconscious Mind: The Connecting Link
“For the present, it is sufficient if you remember that you are living daily, in the midst of all manner of thought impulses which are reaching your subconscious mind, without your knowledge. Some of these impulses are negative, some are positive. You are now engaged in trying to help shut off the flow of negative impulses, and to aid in voluntarily influencing your subconscious mind, through positive impulses of DESIRE.”
-Napoleon Hill
This chapter really explains the purpose of AUTO SUGGESTION for me. It also has opened my eyes to help me understand why I dislike CHANGE. I thought it was because I am getting older and set in my ways, or maybe just because I have had a long successful relationship with my spouse, and years ago a very comfortable living for 25 years with the same company. Could be that I am mentally wired that way?
In 1992 my life got disrupted by a downsizing effort by the company I was working for was undergoing. Wow – the potential of being unemployed, my pension eligibility moved to age 65 instead of 55 (I was 39 at the time), and without a college education, the chances of me starting a new career at another company was slim to none.
In 2001 my life got interrupted again. I was able to successfully stay in the company I was employed since the 1992 event, and it was a stroke of good fortune that I landed a job in Colorado. However, this time my company was looking to displace 13,000 employees. Crap – here I go again. Now I am 9 years older and faced with the same issues stated above. And I have aged 11 more years to present day.
Look at these 2 events and try and imagine the negative impulses being passed into my subconscious, not to mention the “Seven Major Negative Emotions” that were being solidly planted and cultivated there.
This past week has been interesting because of the changes in the company I am currently associated with. These changes have reawakened all my experiences from my past. I have to start over again like I had to do so many times with my 25 year in the telecommunications industry. This opportunity is exciting and has the potential to set me free. So why am I panicking?
Rather than analyze the whys, I am going to focus on a method I have learned from this book and this team. That is the use of AUTO SUGGESTION. Hill states, “You cannot entirely control your subconscious mind, but you can voluntarily hand over to it any plan, desire, or purpose which you wish transformed into concrete form.”
Yes I have to start over, but my recovery time from some paralysis from change will be cut down to nothing. I will feed my mind with new suggestions to adapt to the new company and the ever changing me.

Chapter 12 - The Subconscious Mind
When I was in Tampa in May I heard Michael Dlouhy say "you never know who's gonna' do this thing".
It's so true and it depends on what we are thinking in our mind. Our subconscious mind is the key. What we don't know we're thinking changes our actions. We can choose to change those thoughts by spoon feeding positive thoughts through self-talk. It's the same reason why we are supposed to write our goals down on paper.
I was speaking to someone not long ago. He said he wouldn't be able to be successful at a particular MLM. And of course he was right. Whatever we think in our mind is the truth for us.
I have noticed in life that anyone can succeed. The difference between success and failure is what that person thinks in his mind.
Thank you for what I have learned through all of you,
Lois Anna

CHAPTER 12
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
THE CONNECTING LINK
The Eleventh Step toward Riches
Give it a Rest….No, the subconscious mind never rests it is continually working, even while I sleep. That tells me that I need to be Extremely Proactive at doing my Own Programming. If I let even one itty bitty negative thought (no such thing) enter my subconscious, Boom, all the Positive Thoughts and Emotions are gone. It only takes a little leaven to leaven the bread, even just a little and it takes over. There is no such thing as “fence sitting” with the subconscious, it’s either positive all the way or doubt and negative emotions creep in and take over.
So what is the best way to Be and Stay Positive (the stream of life that flows to Success). Positive, consistent self-talk. Boy, how many times do we have to hear that, eh? As many times as it takes to truly Sink In! The language of my subconscious mind is emotion or feeling. It is MY Responsibility to continually supply the programming to keep it Positive! When I Master the Eight Positive Emotions of Desire, Love, Sex, Enthusiasm, Romance, Hope and come from the Emotion of Prosperity. When they dominate my mind so completely, the negative emotions cannot enter!
In the past two weeks I have been able to put A lot of great, positive emotion into my version of Michael’s self-talk. It now feels like my self-talk, I own it and Yes it is very much Fun! Yahoo!!
Last Thursday, our one year old grandson, Jayden fell down 10 steps to the basement and was rushed to the hospital. Our first reaction was fear and we quickly chose to replace it with Faith. Instead of just asking God to make him better, we were thanking God for being with him and thinking of all the positive things we could to put into our prayers. It really DOES make a huge difference when you pray in Faith, knowing the outcome will be the best and trusting God to make it so. Jayden was fine, just a little bump on the back of his head. The doctors were amazed as he was running around the hospital shortly after arriving. Jayden is blue, he skipped the walking stage and went right to running. He’s a shaker and a mover with a wonderful loving smile, he gives us so much love. Al and I were loving on him, Big time for the next 3 days! We are so grateful to have the knowledge and the strength to be positive in this situation. It makes a Huge Difference!
It is a Decision, a Choice, you decide or the negative emotions will decide for you!
With love and blessings for All the Positive Emotions to Enrich Your Life,
Bev Bojarski

The Subconsious Mind:
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill:
Your ability to create changes, achieve your goals and to enjoy greater success and happiness will depend on your ability to direct your subconscious mind.
Now while this can be done relatively simply and easily there are a few factors that have to work together so that you direct you’re subconscious to create what you want and what you don’t want.
To direct your subconscious mind you have to communicate with it and instruct it everyday, you already do this, you just may not have realized how you’ve doing it until now.
Your subconscious mind is all knowing and powerful. It knows everything that has ever happened in history, and everything that is happening at this present moment. It knows every book or program written, every movie and recording ever made and every event and situation that has ever happened. It is connected to the Universal Power, Universal energy, or God if you like.
So when you ask this power for something, when you direct it remember it will guide you to the situations that will help you succeed.
It knows everything and can connect with anyone or guide you to any situation you want that will help you succeed.
If you want a relationship your subconscious knows every person on this planet and can connect you with the kind of person you ask for.
If you want money, your subconscious knows every possible way there is to make money and will guide you to the opportunities that fit with what your want.
If you want to improve your health, your subconscious knows of all the possible ways to heal your body and improve your health. It will help you do this if you ask it to.
Your subconscious will follow your instruction.
Your subconscious mind creates everything in your life.
If you are not enjoying the life you want then you are likely directing your subconscious to create what you don’t want.
You direct your subconscious mind with thoughts, your beliefs, your attitude, your actions, and your words.
Your subconscious creates your life indirectly. Things don’t magically appear just because you think about them.
Instead, your subconscious guides you, directs you, brings opportunities to you, brings people into your life that can help you, brings people to you that you can help.
Your subconscious steers you and takes you to where you tell it to take you.
It simply follows your instruction.
Those instructions are your thoughts, your beliefs, your attitudes, your actions, and your words.
Not every thought that you have will manifest. If you think you are going to have an accident while driving and you only think of that once, it’s not enough for your subconscious mind to act on and create.
Your subconscious responds to thoughts that are repeated and become strongly held beliefs. It also responds to your repeated actions, your strong attitudes and the repeated statements or words that you speak regularly.
You will only say what you believe to be true, you will only do what you believe should be done, you will only think what you believe and you will only believe what you think is true.
Your subconscious mind doesn’t have this filtering process that compels it to do only what is good for you.
Instead, your subconscious leaves that part to you and your conscious mind.
Unfortunately if you have thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, actions and words that are not in line with what you want you will end up creating and attracting exactly what you don’t want.
Now I know you want a better life and in order to have that you have to embrace your subconscious mind, understand that it’s working for you, that you are communicating with it every single day.
So to instruct your subconscious you need to pay more attention to your thoughts , your beliefs, your attitude, your actions, and your words.
Make sure your thoughts, your beliefs, your attitudes, your actions and words are all in line with what you want to achieve.
Thank you Michael, Linda and all the members of the MFF team. I appreciate you.
