Our subconscious mind is powerful and mighty.
It is through the subconscious that Shakespeare must have perceived, without effort, great truths which are hidden from the conscious mind of the student; that Phidias fashioned marble and bronze; that Raphael painted Madonnas and Beethoven composed symphonies.
Our subconscious mind works tirelessly and solves & creates. This is where our TRUE creativity, power, and dreams come from.
Charles Haanel, Master Key System, Part 2
However, when I was growing up parents, teachers, and peer groups in my social circle dictated to me who I am and what I should do and be. They tell me boy don’t cry. So I have trained & programmed my subconscious to be emotionless. They tell me Chinese people are smart. So, I have trained & program my subconscious to be smart, act smart, and pretend to be smart. They tell me that I have to be the best. So, I have trained & program my subconscious to win at all costs and make everybody loses.
The people who told me these things probably had good intentions (Well, I hope they had good intentions) and were helpful to survive in this world. I start to see these survival programs are not working anymore with me. These survival programs have reached its limitation.
What new program is needed? I am replacing these survival programs with abundance programs.
As a child I was a slave to my impulses; now I am a slave to my habits, as are all grown men. I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path, which threatens to imprison my future. My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed, love, fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is habit. Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits. My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.

I am 100% responsible for planting the good seed within me.
Beforehand, when people ask me “What do I want?” My answer was a copy of someone else answer from my peer group and/or family. But when asked again “What do I REALLY want?” the true answer was “I Don’t Know!”
With that in mind & understanding, I am planting seeds of love, faith, abundance, joy, and peace. These are the seeds that I want in my life! This is my will.
Today my old skin has become dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not, for today I am a new man, with a new life.

They didn’t know what they didn’t know. You now know, Ched, and are making a difference.
What a profound sharing, Ched. Thank you for helping our MasterMind when you say ” I am replacing these survival programs with abundance programs.” So many of us need to see the difference between these two programs!
” I am planting seeds of love, faith, abundance, joy, and peace. These are the seeds that I want in my life! This is my will.” Great statement. Thank you, Ched for sharing.
