Chapter 3 - Faith
Faith: To hold steadfast that we will receive from the Lord what we NEED...not necessarily what we want...and feel content with that.
Faith: To know that even when we are feeling low, that we will never be lead astray from the Lord.
Faith: To love the Lord UNCONDITIONALLY especially when things in our life turn upside down which in and of itself is nothing more than another test from God.
Faith: To hold the ability to continue moving forward with our goals and desires after a short period of feeling low which we all have a right to.
Faith: To know and always hold in our hearts that the Lord ALWAYS has our best interest at heart.
Faith: To be patient and know that God will deliver what we need on HIS watch. Not on ours since he knows "when" it is best for us to receive our desires.
A quote from the Holy Bible - "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." ~ Psalm 37:4
I do not struggle with my religious beliefs as I'm a devout Christian. I do, however, struggle from day-to-day with doubts if I am doing what God has called me to do. I have epilepsy for a reason and am home-bound for a reason. And being home-bound as far as I have experienced, is not conducive to being successful in the businesses I have tried so far. Am I being impatient? Absolutely! Am I wanting results yesterday? Absolutely as money in my world is only a conduit to what I truly want to achieve. It (money) is essentially a "tool" to get me from point A to point B. And most of my goals that require lots of money are to serve God. IE: To donate my time to St Jude's hospital and hand out toys on Christmas Day and give the parents a break. To buy and serve food in a food kitchen on Thanksgiving day. To give my time to animal shelters across the U.S. and donate ionized water units to shelters that see the value. (These units are $4,000.00 each.) In order to attain / give back, I need to acquire lots of money. I do NOT hold a passion for my business. I hold a passion for the things I want to do after becoming successful in my business which can bring me monetary wealth. To reiterate...money is a conduit for me. Nothing more. I am not about the 2 million dollar mansion, Rolex watch or Maserati. Yes...I have personal desires such as a custom home. In fact, that's my biggest personal goal as far as expenses are concerned and I do not believe that will be a million dollar home. My biggest personal will not cost me a dime and that is to get married.
So back to Faith. Do I have unwavering Faith that I will succeed in my business? I don't know? I can't say I do only because of my personal circumstances. I work on my personal development every day and work over 60 hours a week on my business. But I find myself spinning my wheels. So I continue to pray daily and hold the Faith that my goals, dreams and desires, both personal and philanthropically, (to give back), will come to fruition.
With Gods Love and Light,

Think & Grow Rich, Chapter 3. Faith
Visualization of and Belief in Attainment of Desire
The Second Step toward Riches
Hill says all these principles in “Think & Grow Rich” are
one philosophy and as we read and study each principle
one begins to see how each interacts with the other. I
have made a note of several as they appear in this chapter
alone.
How to Develop Faith
First, we must make a “Decision” (principle 7) to do so.
Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created,
by affirmation or repeated instructions to the "Subconscious
Mind" (principle 11), through "Autosuggestion" (principle 3).
We cannot hesitate on the fence; we must decide to take
this action. Do not wait until tomorrow because it is “ALWAYS”
today.
Follow this idea. Our quest is to acquire the ability to
transmute the intangible thought impulse of our “Desire”
(principle 1) into its physical counterpart. By following the
instructions laid down in the chapters on Autosuggestion,
and the Subconscious Mind, one may convince the
Subconscious Mind that we’ll receive that for which we ask,
which our subconscious mind passes back to us in the form of
“Faith.” I am what I say I am regardless of the evidence.
Follow that with definite “Plans” (principle 6) for procuring that
which you desire. This whole idea must be backed by Persistence
(principle 8). Hill says the reason most men do not obtain their
hearts desire is because they stop short of the desired goal, a
good example in chapter 1, stopping 3 feet from gold.
So many people will read a book like this and understand
the instruction but never really follow the instruction. We
just read the next book. Here is what you must do, stop
and apply the instruction. Giving orders to our
subconscious through Autosuggestion is a practice that
must be done hundreds of times through daily repetition.
Hill says, “Perfection will come through practice”.
Remember, the thirteen basic principles of this philosophy
easily fit together but to make them work for us, we must
do the work specifically outlined in this book.
Hill says, “Faith is the only know antidote for failure.
Every person is what they are because of the dominating
thoughts they permit to occupy their mind.” Do you "truly"
have faith in yourself to succeed in Network Marketing?
Think bout it. Think about what faith is. Read and apply
the instruction on acquiring faith.
The stronger the emotion in our Autosuggestion the stronger
the attraction of similar thought. Be watchful, fearful
thoughts attract fearful thought. You can stop this by
becoming aware. Positive thought through positive auto
suggestion will attract similar thought. But you must work
at it and never stop. Whats that you say, "Sounds like hard
work and a long time." No, it's called changing your life to
receive what you want. It is different than wishing and
waiting for things to change. It is taking responsibility & action.
We don’t do what needs to be done because our
confidence lies in what other people think of us. We have
already decided what someone else will think and not even
given them there right to choose. Here is an idea. Since
we all like to be right, why don’t we just do what needs to
be done to be successful in our business, take the appropriate
action we're taught. The worst that will happen is we’ll be
right about what others think and each time we’re wrong we’ll
be a step closer to manifesting our desire.
Hill says, “Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate
environment, and to build your own life to order. Take an
honest personal inventory and we'll discover that our
greatest weakness is lack of self-confidence." There is a
formula for self-confidence in this chapter. We must read
and apply this formula daily.
Hill talks about a new faith in business because of leaders
who understand the principles of men like Mahatma Gandhi.
Hill says, "The watchwords of the future will be human
happiness and contentment." This can now be seen in many
excellent companies in our industry. “Mentoring for Free”
leaders teach the 5-Pillars of Do Diligence aiding network
marketers to identify the kind of companies and leadership
Hill speaks of.

CHAPTER 3
FAITH: VISUALIZATION OF, AND BELIEF IN ATTAINMENT OF DESIRE
The Second Step toward Riches
Faith, where do I begin. It starts with a “thought” a seedling. It is nurtured and cared for just as a newborn child. It takes more effort and attention in its infancy. As the infant thought grows, fed and nurtured daily, it becomes more independent and needs less prompting. This is the way I have found it to be with my self-talk, my auto-suggestion. My love and passion for that child grows as the child grows, as does my self-talk, I have had to feed that fire, keep it stoked to develop that relentless passion and persistence with my self-talk.
This “love child” thought grows best in a positive environment, so being positive and staying positive, No Matter What is imperative to that child’s healthy growth. A negative attitude will never bring me or my “child” success, it will just magnetize more doom and gloom negativity in my life and in the lives of others around me. Yes, I get to choose how and what I think, but the results do affect others!
I believe and have faith in my “love child”, I believe in them until they are mature enough to believe in themself. I make plans for my “love child” and put those plans into action, to ensure his success, because his success is very important to me! I will consistently implant positive, healthy thoughts into the mind of my child, to train him to grow up to be successful in all areas of his life. I know that we pick up and register vibrations of thought from our daily environment, so I make my child aware of this and provide a good environment for him.
I will share and implant this step of the self-confidence formula into my child’s being:
“No wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.”
So I will Desire the Best for my Child, I will nurture and love him with great passion, guiding and caring for his development and having Faith, knowing I have done all I could and that things Will Work Out Well, no doubt about it!!!
Blessings,
Bev Bojarski

Faith
During the last cycle I closed this lesson with the words:
“But now I have the faith I'll see it - it's just a matter of time.”
Oh yes, a lot has changed! Things began moving; things far beyond my control, out of my direct control … as I thought.
Have you ever seen the movie “Sleepless in Seattle”?
First, without any knowledge about those things Hill is talking about, it was just a nice story to me. But with this knowledge I found out that it is one of the greatest examples of the reaction of the universe upon a thought of a single mind.
In this case it's the thought of the eight year old sun of a widower and he came to the conclusion that his father should look for a new wife to rebalance their lives.
This little boy has an unwavering faith that this is the right thing and that he can influence it. And truly “FAITH is the "eternal elixir" which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!” For this he took action.
Keeping his faith – even when experiencing that nothing happens immediately – and by being open to the answers of the universe (talking through feelings) he adjusted his plan and took further action.
It's fascinating how things emerge step by step. Oh, of course we also can see that the universe has its own wisdom and follows paths we never knew they even existed. Further we can learn how often we come within a whisker of the final solution, sometimes without being aware of it.
The boy kept his faith although all odds have been against him and his master mind group had shrunk to a single member, his girl friend. This kept him going. The way the opportunity was opened for him to travel across the country first seemed a bit farfetched. But after have coming across the books of Hill, Allen etc. I simply call it an unexpected solution. And everybody who has experienced a situation when everything seems to fall in place knows how energizing this is and how easy it is to keep the faith during this period.
But even in the end when it looks like his plan has failed he kept the faith. He kept it in a situation most of us would have given up already. Of course – as so often – the moment of truth, accomplishment, and surprise is near.
What did I learn from it?
Never give up. - Never ever lose faith.
There is always something moving already to my advantage, something I cannot perceive right now with my senses.
It is the time to remember that “...FAITH is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind ...” that it's time for my self talk to reinforce my faith.
And then take action, keep going and be patient.
In faith
Uwe

Chapter 3 -- FAITH
VISUALIZATION OF, AND BELIEF IN,
ATTAINMENT OF DESIRE
The Second Step toward Riches
FAITH IS THE HEAD CHEMIST of the mind. When FAITH is blended with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to Infinite Intelligence, as in the case of prayer.
FAITH is the "eternal elixir" which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!
The foregoing sentence is worth reading a second time, and a third, and a fourth. It is worth reading aloud!
FAITH is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
FAITH is the basis of all "miracles," and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!
FAITH is the only known antidote for FAILURE!
FAITH is the element, the "chemical" which, when mixed with prayer gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
FAITH is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.
FAITH is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.
EVERY ONE OF THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS IS CAPABLE OF PROOF!
Comes, now, a very significant statement of truth:
THOUGHTS WHICH ARE MIXED WITH ANY OF THE FEELINGS OF EMOTIONS CONSTITUTE A "MAGNETIC" FORCE WHICH ATTRACTS, FROM THE VIBRATIONS OF THE EITHER, OTHER SIMILAR, OR RELATED THOUGHTS.
Thanks to Michael and Linda and the MMF MasterMind for providing your support.
Love to all
