Faith is the Key that Unlocks the Door called Desire: Have Faith

Faith is Napoleon Hill's second step towards riches in his book Think and Grow Rich. This is a follow up to the previous post - Have faith and get what you desire.


So, how do you develop faith?  How do you begin to have enough faith in yourself to enable you to get what you want out of life?  This series will show you how to get there.

Faith is a state of mind you develop at will 
after mastering the 13 principles 
 in Think and Grow Rich.
Because a state of mind develops voluntarily, 

through application and use of these 13 principles.

In other words, you cannot force yourself to have faith; you cannot force yourself to believe what you know is untrue. Because faith is the key that unlocks the door to your desires; you must apply practical methods that your mind can accept, in order to develop faith. 

1 - You can convince the subconscious mind to believe you will receive what you desire by imprinting auto-suggestions and affirmations upon it.   Daily practise is necessary for the first thirty days to develop this new habit.

Repetition of affirmations - out loud -  is the only method known to voluntarily develop faith or belief 
by recording it in your subconscious.

As you continue to practise having faith, plans will come into your mind, softly and subtly. Pay attention to them and write them down. Then act on them immediately. 
These plans or ideas is your subconscious mind's way of saying "I hear you". You have opened the door to the universe's storehouse. You have found the key to your success.

Belief or faith is the element which determines  
the action of your subconscious mind. 

 
2 - You can also fool your subconscious into believing that you already have what you desire, by acting as if you already have it. This triggers the transmutation process (change) and the subconscious mind starts working to get it for you by the most direct means possible.

3 - You can develop faith by suggesting to your subconscious mind that you have faith. Basically, it's fake it until you make it.

The mind comes to accept the nature of the influences which dominate it.  In other words, you get what you think about. If you could grasp this truth, you would understand why it is necessary to encourage positive emotions in your mind; and discourage and eliminate the negative ones. 

Both negative and positive emotions 
influence the subconscious mind. 
It's function is to act out our desires.

If your mind is dominated by positive emotions - at least fifty percent of the time according to Abraham/Hicks - it becomes a favourable abode for the state of mind known as faith. 

Such a mind, when you are "on track" instructs the subconscious to bring you what you want, and it goes into action immediately. Demand it and get it. 

I have been practising this and observing the process like a by-stander. It is amazingly easy. It requires no effort at all because it is just a thought like "I want..."

That's my synopsis of How to develop faith in Napoleon Hill's second chapter - Faith.

What do you have to say? Let me know if clarification is needed, and how you go about getting what you want.
