“The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.” – Earl Nightingale
When you start working on your goals, you will notice something extraordinary: more and more favorable “coincidences” will start to happen.
Why?
We are mostly unaware about the huge number of situations that are happening around us all of the time. Some of them occasionally reach us in a favorable or unfavorable way, and we consider them coincidences. Our notion of reality is only related to a small part of what is really going on around us, and that is the part that currently interests us. The rest we don’t even notice. Due to the limitations of our brain, we can track a very small number of things at the same time (look at the invisible gorilla test and you’ll see what I’m talking about).
The power of your subconscious mind
To live a fulfilling and meaningful life, you need to work on things that are truly important to you (along with a few other things you can’t avoid). The most important helper in achieving your life goals is your subconscious. In it lies your greatest and, most often, undiscovered potential. If your life is not functioning the way you would like, it is because you forgot to include the most important factor, which is your subconscious, in your life equation.
Your subconscious also works while you sleep. From the pieces your conscious mind throws at it, your subconscious mind puts together a puzzle that ultimately results in the life you live. The subconscious mind helps or hinders you, depending on the information you feed it. Opportunities in life are all around you, but you have to learn to tune your subconscious receiver to the right frequency.
People and situations you attract in your life
Your behavior, the topics you talk about, the book you hold in your hand, the video you watch, all this attracts people who have similar interests. That’s why sometimes an opportunity arises for you that you think is a coincidence, but you have actually attracted it into your life with everything you do, consciously and unconsciously.
For example, when you are looking for a certain job, it seems to you that a lot of people have that job. You start noticing all the possible information related to what interests you and very quickly you know everything you need. If you hadn’t started looking for that job, you wouldn’t know anything about it. When you want to buy a certain car, your eyes get stuck on each such car. Your subconscious directs your focus to what you have given it.
An equation that works
The conscious part of your mind solves everyday tasks, while the subconscious part of the mind deals with things you don’t notice right away. The subconscious mind, at least the part that directs your focus and elaborates your ideas, can only be influenced by the information you feed it. With the conscious part of the mind, you choose information, and with the subconscious you put it into something bigger. The equation is complete and works. That’s all you need to know.
Start working on your own goals regularly and you will see. Although you use very complex devices on a daily basis, you usually have no idea exactly how they work on a technical level. And you don’t need that knowledge to use them. You drive a car, work on a computer, use a cell phone with a hundred different apps. It is the same with your mind. It is important to know how to use it properly, both parts, not just the conscious part.
A positive outcome in everything you do
By continuously working on yourself, new opportunities become a regular part of your life. By now you should understand that it no longer has anything to do with coincidences. If you fill your mind with negativity, you will be even more focused on it, and it will affect your quality of life. If you work on your own goals, you will attract things related to them into your life.
If you’ve ever fallen asleep with a question and woken up with a solution, then you know what I’m talking about. You have asked yourself a question before bed, and the solution was found by your subconscious mind. All successful people use this on a daily basis in the form of visualizing their goals. When you visualize your goal long enough, you eventually become fully convinced that you will succeed, which is crucial for success.
Conclusion:
When you, by your effort, help favorable situations to reach you, it is no longer a matter of luck. You have opened the door for them. If you feed your subconscious with good things, you will be optimistic, confident, and you will achieve your goals. Your behavior, and the things you think and talk about, will attract people with similar ideas. It works in the opposite direction too. Focusing on negative things will reflect in a negative way on your life, and you don’t want that. Start working on things that are really important to you, and your subconscious will become your best assistant.
