Desire, Auto suggestion and the subconscious mind

I will open this paragraph by 'noting' that you are what you think you are. Have you ever wondered if there is a relationship between your actions and your thoughts? Do you ever wonder why the things that happen to you happen? How can I connect my actions and my thoughts? If these questions and more have crossed your mind at any point in time, yes! You have come to the right blog!
 There is a verse in the bible that says; "As a man thinks, so he is! This is a prove that the concept of auto suggestion and the subconscious mind have been in existence for a long long time! It is 'no' news that the mind has a very important role to play in the achievement of all the goals/ plans that you have set out to achieve. The mind is a very powerful yet under-rated 'tool' which can make or mar any individual! Enough with the things we already know, let's go to the good stuff! 
DESIRE: It is not just enough to want something or want to do it, the un-dying craving to get it done or have it must always be present. The English dictionary relates desire with excitement. You have to be excited to do or have that thing, have a strong feeling about that thing you really wanna do. Napolean Hill in his book, "Think and grow rich" went in-depth on the explanation of desire (if you are interested, get the book). In conclusion, before anything can be done and DONE Effectively, desire has to be present! Most wealthy business men, directors of industries and the likes often state in their 'biographies' how they strongly desired to attain their levels! Henry ford is a very good example of a man who desired to achieve his goals, (the impossible) as they called it, and was persistent! I'm sure you are wondering why I'm going on and on about desire! In plain words, before you achieve something, you have to not just want it but desire it!

Subconscious mind: Any activity referred to as subconscious is an activity just below the level of awareness. It is believed that everybody has a mind of his/her own. There are somethings that you just do without thinking. Its more or less like your mind has programmed them. I will discuss more on the subconscious mind as soon as am done with auto suggestion. 

Auto suggestion: As the word implies,means automatic suggestion. Now, auto suggestion in the context of human beings is done by the subconscious mind. My concern is not how its done but how you can manipulate your thought/mind to auto suggest the achievement of your desire.  
 1. Praying: chill out, I'm not trying to get all spiritual on you! Lols! For those of us that do not doubt the existence of a supreme being who oversees our activities, we understand how effective praying is. But looking for the physical side of praying, when you pray, you state the things that you intend to achieve. While doing that, you unconsciously dictate to your mind. You tell your mind what you want and probably when you want it. 

The chain is pretty much like: praying ---» dictating to the subconscious mind ---» Desire ---» mind becomes aware of desire ---» mind auto suggests ---» brain processes ---» activity begins. 
 (Toyosi)  
Please note, praying alone doesn't guarantee success but its a good step forward.

2. Hard work: It is also not enough to desire or pray. Hard Work goes a long way...

3. Persistence: Don't give up!  

4. Patience: sometimes, all you have to do is wait for the right moment. Ability to wait is also very important.

In conclusion, you have to think positive to be positive!
