Think and Grow Rich on Self Esteem

How does the book "Think and Grow Rich" help us to develop our self-esteem? One thing we must understand is that we are creatures that have a large range of emotions. Emotions are one of the major ingredients that influence our lives; these feelings are the critical piece of the puzzle that causes us to do what we do. A little realized fact is that the majority of us believe that we are our emotions, when the truth is that we have emotions. For those of us who suffer from low self-esteem we allow our emotions to control us instead of controlling our emotions. One of those emotions is fear, fear that we might; might be rejected, might be ridiculed, might be laughed at, might be this, and might be that. All those might's are negative in feeling as well as result, and the biggest fear is that we might get our feelings hurt. Again, this is where we think we are emotions and if they get hurt then we might suffer unbearable agony. Whereas if we realize that we only have emotions, then there can be no detrimental suffering if one can but simply control their emotions.

The book "Think and Grow Rich" tells us that we must use our emotions, not let our emotions use us. To control and direct our future we must learn to use our emotions, combined with words to cause our subconscious to direct the universe to provide our desires. If you have been reading any of my articles, you will have discovered some of the secrets for a rich and powerful life. One of the greatest pieces of information is that our conscious mind can control the subconscious mind, and in turn, the subconscious controls our life. Those of us who use our conscious mind in this manner are able to think and grow rich.

The one habit that the book "Think and Grow Rich" continually suggests is the practice of autosuggestion. Where you write down on a paper your dreams and goals, and then a few times daily read it aloud. This will influence your subconscious mind to cause your desires to become your reality. This habit of autosuggestion must be used with emotion to work. To read the words deadpan, without any emotion will do nothing except maybe exercise your reading skill. To cause the desired effect you must use emotion, you must add emotion to your words. Here is where you must realize that emotions are yours to control; they do not control you.

This secret to developing your self-esteem is simple yet at the same time as it is a different way of thinking it may take a while for you to master your emotions as you so far have allowed them to master you. You must at every chance remember that you control your emotions, you are in charge of you, and you will decide what is best, not some emotional bad feeling. This concept of asserting control over yourself, is the first step of getting your self-esteem back, and for it to work for you, you must be persistent. Once you try it, a few times you will see some positive effects, almost overnight you will see change in your daily routine. You will feel better, you will walk taller, you will talk with a firmer voice, you will experience a little spark of joy, you will start to value your self-esteem for what you are becoming, and that is simply a better and happier you.

Be Blessed.
