The Eternal Elixir (Drink up)

In partnership with

Hello there,

There is a giant living in your basement.

I am talking about your Subconscious Mind. While you are busy worrying about traffic or what to eat for lunch, your subconscious is quietly running your heartbeat, digesting your food, and—most importantly—dictating your reality.

The subconscious is the soil. It doesn't care if you plant corn or nightshade. It will grow whatever seeds you drop into it with equal enthusiasm. If you plant fear, it grows a forest of anxiety. If you plant success, it grows a bumper crop of abundance.

So, how do we make sure we are planting the right stuff?

We use "Auto-Suggestion."

This sounds like a parlor trick, but it is the most potent psychological tool you own. It is the act of self-suggestion. It is creating a feedback loop. You must write out your Definite Chief Aim and read it aloud, twice a day. Morning and night.

You might feel silly doing it. You might feel like an actor rehearsing for a play nobody bought tickets to. Do it anyway.

You have to see and feel yourself already in possession of the money or the success you desire. You have to mix that thought with emotion. The subconscious ignores cold logic. It only responds to feeling. It responds to Faith.

Faith is the "eternal elixir." It is the chemical that gives life to your thoughts. When you mix a thought with the emotion of Faith and repeat it to your subconscious, that giant in the basement gets to work. It starts translating that thought into its physical equivalent. It influences your actions. It attracts the people you need. As you read these emails, you are planting seeds of success that will grow without you even trying.

This is how you build a "money consciousness." You saturate your mind with the belief in your own prosperity until your subconscious accepts it as a fact. Once it accepts it, the battle is over. You win.

You are grateful you clicked the links in this email, because you now hold the code to reprogram your own software. You are the programmer. Stop letting the world write buggy code for you.

However, there is one thing that jams the signal. One thing that turns the fertile soil into concrete. It is the primary reason for almost all failure.

Tomorrow, we are going to shine a light on the six ghosts that haunt the average person, and specifically the one "Big Boss" ghost that keeps people broke.

Until tomorrow,

Do you talk to yourself? (And be honest, are you saying nice things?)

Best,

Bradley Woods
