The final 3 Traits from Think And Grow Rich are all related.


11. SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
Most people do not realize how powerful an ally or how powerful an enemy this can be. You cannot directly control the subconscious mind, but you can influence it over time by autosuggestion.
Plant only positive thoughts of faith and confidence. Follow hunches. Picture success scenarios. Use this to develop a 6th sense of advanced intuition.

12. THE BRAIN
Know when to use both the conscious part and the subconscious part...appreciate its potential and challenge it, stretch it. It has the power to bring you anything you wish, just use it properly. Treat it like a garden. It is your choice whether or not you want to cultivate beauty or let it go to weeds.

13. 6TH SENSE
This can only be used if the above 12 steps are already in place. This is the source of your flashes of inspiration and hunches. All creating starts with simple concepts. You cannot turn this on and off at will, but relaxing helps. This usually works better as you get older, probably because you have more experiences to draw from.

ENTHUSIASM

Trait #9 from Think and Grow Rich.

MASTERMIND GROUP

Criticism might intimidate people from expressing what might have resulted in a really good new idea.

Pick your group members carefully. Avoid negative attitudes.

Trait #8 from Think And Grow Rich


PERSISTENCE

Cultivate a state of mind that builds the power of your will.

Persistence is the difference between success and failure. Is Babe Ruth known more for his large number of strikeouts, or his home runs? Is Thomas Edison known more for his thousands of failures or for his successes?

You can’t win a point in a tennis game unless you attempt to return every shot.

Refuse to fold. This requires the type of effort that separates the the men from the boys, or the women from the girls.

Have the courage to know what you want, and the desire to get it.

Good habits bring good results automatically.

A big shot is nothing more than a little shot who kept on shooting.
