According to Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich”, faith, “is a state of mind which may be induced, or created by affirmation or repeated instruction to the subconscious mind, through the power of autosuggestion”.

Faith that we will be discussing here is not necessarily a spiritually based faith, but the principle will be the same.

The need for “something” whether we call it faith or not, becomes readily apparent as we begin to apply Mr. Hill’s methods. How can we even begin to believe we can receive, when we can’t even conceive of the possibility?

In other words, “I would like to believe if I could”.

We first must convince our subconscious mind that we will (and do) receive what we ask for.

Belief doesn’t have to be limited to our perception of reality, and can’t be, or nothing will change. In “Think and Grow Rich”, Napoleon Hill states, “there are no limitations to the mind accept those we acknowledge”.

Once we accept the fact that our beliefs can be unlimited, we are on our way.

One thing we must realize and remember is that we not only will receive what we believe, but we will only receive what we believe.

We rarely go beyond our beliefs. We all may dream about success, riches of some kind, etc., but dreams are not beliefs. Interview any successful person and key to their success is the undying belief in themselves.

Critical to the whole process is our belief in ourselves. As we review our lives honestly, we will no doubt remember times of fear, doubt, unbelief, etc. While these emotions are real and human, they must not dominate our thinking.

Remember Napoleon Hill also says, “Thoughts are things and powerful things at that”. As surely as positive thoughts and beliefs can transmute into reality, negative thoughts can also become reality or continue as reality.

The application of faith, to empower our desire, is in replacing “old” negative thoughts with thoughts of self assurance, self confidence and belief.

We begin to see very clearly that the principles that are taught in “Think and Grow Rich” have nothing to do with trying to “conjure” something from nothing. What is being taught is the fact that all change begins with the thinker and their thoughts.

Before we can “have” we must first “do”, after we have “become”. The application of his revelations concerning faith is in the understanding and use of the power necessary to bring our belief to reality.

We must first “become”. We become as we think.

Form the thought that you desire. Commit your desire to your mind in the form of a definite belief. Speak that belief aloud repeatedly in order to convince your subconscious mind. Trust in the power that is being generated (faith). Accept your belief as reality whether you see it or not.

Does it work? Napoleon Hill accepted the assignment of Andrew Carnegie to pass on to the world his “secret” for fabulous success. After twenty five years of research and interviews with five hundred successful men, Mr. Hill published his findings.

Today, we have the advantage in “Think and Grow Rich”, of discovering anew and personally applying their “secret”.

“Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can”
