Every day you desire something; a bigger house, a new car, better health, or a higher paying job. You can want these things with a burning desire but they don't always come to pass do they? Every morning you wake and you're still living in a cramped house, driving a beat-up car, and tired all the time.

If a burning desire's not enough, what's the next step? What will help you attain all that you desire?

Faith.

I'm not talking about religious faith though it can be a factor. I'm talking about a faith which can be created by anyone. It's a state of mind created by repeated affirmations or instructions given to the subconscious mind in the form of autosuggestion. Autosuggestion coming from oneself, the repetition of verbal or sub-vocal messages as a means of changing behavior.

What exactly does this mean? Through the process just described, you convince the subconscious that the fitness goal which you desire to achieve, you will achieve, and it will act upon that belief by passing back to you concrete plans for achieving that goal in the form of faith.

If you can convince your subconscious of your desires, your goals, and develop a faith in those desires then those thoughts must turn into reality. You convince the subconscious by emotionalizing your thoughts backed by faith. When that happens the subconscious immediately begins to translate your thoughts into their physical counterparts.

All this means is that through simple, repetitive techniques you can retrain your conscious and unconscious mind in a positive, goal oriented manner to overcome old habits and create new goal-oriented habits. These new habits become ingrained and automatic, habits you believe in to the point that you're 100% convinced you can obtain your goals and nothing will get in your way.

Below is a formula for building faith.

Building Faith Formula
1. I absolutely believe I have the ability to achieve any goal in life. I demand of myself persistent, consistent, continuous action toward its attainment.

2. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually manifest themselves in physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. I will concentrate my thoughts at least twice daily upon the goal I intend to achieve, creating a clear, vivid mental picture in my mind of the goal having already been achieved, now, in the present.

3. I know through the principle of autosuggestion that any desire I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining it.

4. I have clearly written down a description of my goal and will never stop trying until I have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

5. I will commit this formula to memory and repeat it aloud twice a day, once in the morning after waking and once before going to bed, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant and successful person.

Faith is the fuel that powers your burning desire for your goal. It's what keeps you moving towards your goal with the deep-rooted knowledge that as long as you persist, keeping your goal in mind as much as possible, nothing can stop you from the achievement of your dreams.
