What it's like...

Do you know what it's like to be motivated? To be passionate? To be so excited to do something, that you will do it an sacrifice anything? Well, I've got an example, let me explain. Napoleon Hill, in his book, "Think and Grow Rich," explained it very well...he said, "What a different story people would have to tell, if they would only adopt a definite purpose, and stand by that purpose, until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession." Now here's a book you should read...Booker T. Washington, "Up From Slavery." Booker T. Washington had a belief, that education would make him free. So he left the plantation and traveled by foot, and by begging for rides, and slept outside at night, underneath sidewalks, etc...he was on fire for this. It was his dream, his purpose. It was inevitable that he would succeed, because he was so obsessed. He got a job as a janitor at the college, when he finally was admitted, and he said, "If someone sees this floor, they're gonna know that Booker T. Washington washed this floor." Now, what was it about Mr. Washington? He was programmed subconsciously. The phrase "all-consuming" means that--he was so involved with this dream, it consumed all his time. It was all he thought about. It took time for him to visualize this dream...until it had time to become all-consuming. When you program your subconscious, you will develop stronger and stronger, and more vivid visualizations. Your whole body will believe you are actually there already...you will feel compelled to do the things that you previously resisted doing, because you will feel like the person in the dream is the person you are right now.
