Abraham Lincoln said it well: “Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way.”

General George S. Patton said, “Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.”

These two quotes can be applied to your relationship with your subconscious. Tell it what you want, and then simply allow it to help you get what you want!

Once you BELIEVE you can acquire what you desire, THEN you are ready for it. Open-mindedness and belief are essential requirements for readiness. When one is truly ready for something, it puts in its appearance. So keep dreaming and believing—soon you will be ready to receive!

The author and one of the stars of The Secret, Bob Proctor, emphasizes the importance of taking action: “No amount of reading or memorizing will make you successful in life. It is the understanding and application of wise thought which counts.”

The time to act on an idea is at the time of its birth. So ACT upon an idea immediately! You’ll be glad that you did.

Now It’s Time To Take Action: Take one major goal or activity you’ve been putting off because you didn’t want to deal with it. Things like filing your past due taxes, getting a physical or dental work or even cleaning out the garage. Choose some type of reward that you’ll treat yourself to when you’ve reached the goal (make sure the reward is in proportion to the achievement). Make the decision—right now—that you will take some type of action on the goal in the next 24 hours. Then act—the confidence you gain, not to mention the burden that will be lifted, will inspire you to apply the principle to other goals in your life.

The Incubator Method:

Maxwell Maltz describes this method for generating new ideas in Psycho-Cybernetics. Identify a particular problem or question for which you need clarity. Write the problem down just before retiring for the night, and then go to sleep, possessing full trust that you will come up with a solution to the problem. Confidently assign the problem to your subconscious mind, and expect to receive the answer during the night or upon waking in the morning. Place a pad of paper and a pen next to your bed. When an answer comes to you out of nowhere, write the idea down onto the pad of paper immediately. Otherwise, you will most likely fall back asleep and lose the idea. The average time of a thought’s life in the conscious brain is 37 seconds. By writing it down, you help to place the idea into your long-term memory, and you will be more able to recall the idea later.

Mind-Mapping Method:

This is another idea presented by Maltz. This technique involves forming a “decision tree” of new ideas. Take a piece of paper, and in the middle write the main subject or topic for which you need some ideas. Draw a circle around the idea, and place several spokes/branches drawn out from the center.
