by Michael Corthell Unlocking Your Potential through Self-Induced Change In our journey to achieve personal growth and accomplish our goals, the power of the mind is a formidable ally. When we consciously decide to harness this power, we open doors to countless possibilities. One effective technique that taps into this potential is autosuggestion, a method akin to the placebo effect. Developed by pharmacist Émile Coué at the turn of the 20th century, autosuggestion offers a way to reframe our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions, leading to transformative outcomes. Understanding Autosuggestion Autosuggestion is a self-induced form of hypnosis where individuals guide their own thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves the repetition of specific words, ideas, and images to convince oneself of their truth, with the intention of reshaping one's mindset, behaviors, and overall outlook. Just as the mind can influence the body's response to a placebo, it can als...

"Affirming positive beliefs is key to manifesting our desired reality. By combining intentional action and a positive mindset, we become a powerful force for change."   Michael Corthell Affirmation involves declaring something to be true and believing it to be a reality. Whether we realize it or not, we affirm our self-concept passively throughout the day. However, intentionally focusing on positive affirmations can help us create the reality we desire. It's important to recognize that our thoughts and beliefs shape our experiences, and by using positive affirmations to reprogram our subconscious mind, we can change our belief system and attract positive outcomes. Nonetheless, affirmations alone may not be sufficient to bring about change, and we must also take action and make changes in our behavior and environment. By combining positive affirmations with purposeful action, we can become a powerful force for change in our lives and achieve our goals with a p...

by Michael Corthell Peace, love, and joy. How can everyone attain and keep them? First of all, I can tell you how not to find them or how to lose these three things once you have found them — by having a negative mindset. Be positive in thought and action always. There are certain things you have to do in order to create a positive mindset. Your new, joy-filled and happy life awaits you by discovering how to keep your thoughts positive, and by having a positive mindset. ''The fruit that the Spirit(God) produces in a person’s life is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these kinds of things.'' — Galatians 5:22-23 First, you must CHOOSE to think positively. Then have a look at these suggestions: 1. First, realize and remember always, that your thoughts create your life , in fact, they determine what your future becomes. Your life becomes w...

''Believe in the power of your own thoughts. When you replace your negative thoughts with positive internal dialogue, you’ll start creating a positive reality.'' –  Michael Corthell _________________ Read by Josiah Brandt with reverence, pause, and emphasis for added effect. This lecture shares vital human knowledge and could quite possibly be the most important Neville Goddard talk ever recorded. From ''Mental Diets'': 1955 Lecture Series  "The world is a magic circle of infinite possible mental transformations. For there are an infinite number of possible mental conversations. When man[kind] discovers the creative power of inner talking, he will realize his function and his mission in life. Then he can act to a purpose. Without such knowledge, he acts unconsciously. Everything is a manifestation of the mental conversations which go on in us without our being aware of them. But as civilized beings, we must become aware of them and act with a purpo...

''Seasons change and so do I...'' by Michael Corthell  ''If a life event doesn't challenge you, it didn't change you.'' We all go through life's changes — good and bad with mixed feelings. The quickest and best way to change your life is to change yourself. Trying to force others to change to suit yourself is not only wrong it is futile. Changing yourself isn’t always easy, especially when you don’t have a plan. But, change is absolutely necessary for our growth and development. Without change, we are guaranteed to stay the way we are, and doomed to repeat many of our past mistakes. So, first of all it is much better to be proactive about changing your life, rather than being forced in to it by someone or something outside your control. “Some people change their ways when they see the light; others when they feel the heat.” — Caroline Schoeder Looking at it simply, change doesn't seem like it should be all that diffic...

by Michael Corthell You have your positive mindset, and things have been going pretty well, but then things 'seemingly' start to take a turn for the negative. We've all experienced day when it seems that there's nothing but problem after problem. Days like these threaten our strong, positive mindsets and may, if not dealt with immediately, stop us from moving forward. We may even tell ourselves that we should have seen it coming. Maybe we did see it coming, but didn't want to believe it. This can cause guilt. What do we do? The first thing is we accept these negatives as inevitable and don't panic. Then, we get back to basics. Understand: Everything happens for a reason and is temporary. Happiness in life is dependent on your approach to life, not what happens to you. That there are things that are going right in your life. You have people that have your back, 100%. And know what y...

Think positive, be positive and positive things will happen. Thoughts create emotions, emotions create more feelings and these feelings dictate our behavior. Therefore, it’s vitally important that our thoughts be positive. Staying positive greatly increases the probability of attracting positive people, events and circumstances into our lives. “Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.”  – Norman Vincent Peale

  It began to dawn on me some time ago that having a sad thought, even having a continual succession of sad thoughts, is not the same as being a sad person.  There are situations that demand we be sad, to be normal. Part of becoming a grownup adult is the acceptance of difficulty.  The other part of this acceptance is taking action to make things less difficult. Life is hard, acceptance can be hard, but doing noting makes life harder. But, (there's always a 'but' isn't there?) realize that you can have a happy, successful life if you just take action and do the work before you. Why? Because just being positive and doing nothing will generate nothing. Being negative and fighting everything that crosses your path can still lead to success. Always start, always take action. Bottom-line? Thoughts become things so... Choose The Good Ones!

If enough people embrace Hope and Optimism.   by Michael Corthell  How can we increase the odds that our lives will get better in 2021? I firmly believe in the law of attraction. Simply, this law states that we attract into our lives whatever we focus on the most. It's not magic. This universal law is simply the manipulation of the subconscious mind, which will believe anything you tell it, positive or negative. So if we can focus on positive thoughts and positive vibes, we will attract more positivity in our lives. In the coming year, if you focus on being positive, enthusiastic, and happy, you will have a very good chance of seeing the same reflected in your life. Conversely though, if you enter 2021 with a negative attitude, chances are that negativity will almost certainly cloud your life. To sum up, if you focus on positive thoughts, you will attract positivity. If you focus on negative thoughts you will attract negativity. Believe me this mental attitude works. Always w...
