I am a member of a personal growth MasterMind group that meets every week. We read Napoleon Hill's 1937 classic, "Think and Grow Rich", one chapter at a time. Members submit their "lesson", or thoughts, on what they received from the chapter. Each week a few of the lessons are shared with the group for discussion and benefit of all.
I have experienced tremendous personal growth since participating in this MasterMind group. The 30 day Mental Cleanse has turned my personal life and business around.
This week we read Chapter 3: Faith - Visualization of, and Attainment of Desire - The Second Step toward Riches. Below is my lesson from Chapter 3.

My future is a blank canvas. It has not happened yet. The possibilities are endless. My future will be whatever I decide to make it.
The past occurrences in my life have no place to reside on this brand new canvas. They are gone, done, kaput. Even the most recent activities of yesterday, what I did, what I didn’t do, do not get to add color to my canvas. I am picturing myself standing on the beach, at the edge of the ocean. I take my past ~ the failures, the fears, the negative emotions, and toss them into the waves. WHOOSH! They’re gone. How liberating!
My future, my blank canvas, is before me. I am excited to know that I get to add color and design to this masterpiece of my life. With enthusiasm, I will focus on the eight positive emotions, predominately those of faith, love, and sex, to bring my desires into reality. I expect the very best! I will focus my thoughts and actions on attaining my desires.
When I color my thoughts with the powerful positive emotions of Faith, Love, and Sex, they will vibrate with an accelerated intensity and penetrate my subconscious mind. My subconscious mind will respond and act to translate my thoughts into their physical and monetary equivalents and communicate with Infinite Intelligence.
But first I must convince my subconscious mind that I BELIEVE that I will receive all that I am asking of the universe. I will strengthen my Faith, my Belief, by using auto-suggestion to program my subconscious mind. Because my subconscious mind does not differentiate between positive and negative messages, I must be ever diligent to focus ALWAYS on positive thoughts. Additionally, it is crucial that I believe in myself and that I am worthy of my desires. I will use Dr. Hill’s formula for developing and strengthening Self-Confidence.
I will define and know my Definite Purpose in life and that I will achieve it by taking the necessary actions to bring it into being. I will concentrate 30 minutes a day on the positive image of the person I want to be – filling my mind with positive affirming thoughts. I haven’t been doing this, so I will start today. I will follow the remaining steps as outlined in this chapter of filling my subconscious mind with positive thoughts through writing, memorization, and repetition until they become entrenched with belief. This Faith will then be transmitted to Infinite Intelligence through the spiritual medium of prayer. Through my faith in the power of prayer, I believe that Infinite Intelligence will act upon my thought vibrations and bring my “miracle” into being.
My future is bright. My canvas is blank. I look forward with great anticipation to the Masterpiece that I, through action and Faith in Infinite Intelligence, will create.
