Think and Grow Rich or Use Your Noodle and Get the Kaboodle

Do you know the funny little story about Napoleon Hill and his famous book? When he had completed his book, he had it titled: The thirteen Steps to riches. The publisher did not like that name and wanted one which would be a bit classier. The publisher called Hill every day insisting on a new title, and he went through over 600 different names, none of which was satisfactory to the publisher.
Finally, one day the publisher called and said the deadline for the title was the very next day and if Napoleon Hill didn’t have one, he did. He said, “It’s a humdinger—Use You Noodle and Get the Boodle.” Hill thought that title did not do justice to his book and in fact, made a mockery of it. That night Napoleon Hill had a serious talk with his subconscious mind and asked for a million dollar title. He pondered for a long time then went to bed. About 2 AM, he was awakened with a start. And as he came to his senses, a phrase was burning in his mind. He ran to his typewriter, typed it out, then grabbed the phone and called his publisher. “I’ve got it—it’s a million dollar title.” He was right! Think and Grow Rich has sold millions of copies and is one of the best known books in the world.
How appropriate that he would call on his subconscious mind to help him name the book because throughout that book and his Law of Success he talks about the law of auto-suggestion or self suggestion.
A powerful way to accomplish anything is to feed your mind the suggestion, or even a question, at night before you go to sleep. Psychologists believe that your last waking thoughts are the ones that your subconscious mind feeds and acts on while you sleep.
If you are worried about something that will occur tomorrow, see it the way you want it to happen and let your mind work on bringing it to you in the manner you desire. If you want to improve yourself image, fill your mind with thoughts how you would act if you had confidence and a high-self worth. Take advantage of the incredible power you have of directing your thoughts according to the success, prosperity, and relationships you desire. Your mind is fertile soil right before you go to sleep so remember to plant the seeds that will reap what you want to sow—and make sure it is not the nightly news relating a bad economy or some unhealthy images you would not want to experience in your life.
Take advantage of your subconscious mind which never sleeps, and is continually providing you a life according to the orders you send it by means of your thoughts, feelings and words. There is another way you can create specifically what you want in your life: programming with affirmations. Within twenty minutes before you go to sleep at night, hand write (not print) your affirmations. Write no more than three separate affirmations, however you can write each of those three as many times as you wish. When you hand write, Dr. John Kappas tells us it is an ideomotor response and what you write bypasses the conscious mind and goes directly into the subconscious mind.
