Most people have stacked up negative beliefs about life and themselves which take an outward form due to holding onto those beliefs. Many smokers hold onto the idea that they cannot quit and they prove themselves right over and over. Or people who are poor hold onto the idea that they can never get over their conditions and prove themselves correct . Or men losing hair hold onto the idea of baldness with such fear that they help in manifesting the very condition they dont want.
Now I want to mention one specific way to hold an idea in your consciousness. Many people have read about Scott Adams ( creator of Dilbert ) and his experiences with affirmations. He says that one can achieve a lot in life by using affirmations.An example affirmations is " I John Doe will get rich by investing in stocks " to get rich via stocks. One has to write it fifteen times in a row daily till the goal is fulfilled. You will experience coincidences of such nature that your desire manifests itself.He picked two stocks that were the best stocks of that year.Who told him what stocks to pick ? The answer lies in a small book that has been in print over 75 years. It is IT WORKS by R.H.Jarrett. In this book ( It works - RHJ ) the author says that a mighty power in man which he calls God in man can guide you to accomplish any goal that you wish to be fulfilled.But you must be really earnest about it.
Try these concepts for yourself and prove whether these concepts are true or not.Good Luck.
