that,
“Whatever you do repeatedly eventually becomes a new habit.”
In its
simplest terms, this means that you can develop any habit of thought or action that
you desire, if you will just repeat it often enough and long enough.
We will talk
about new habit formation and development in the next chapter.
The second law that you must know and use is the
Law of Emotion
. This law says
that,
“Every action that you take is stimulated by an emotion of some kind, either
positive or negative.”
You can think of emotions the way you would think of a campfire. In order for the
campfire
to continue burning, you must continue to put wood on the fire. If you
stop putting fuel on the fire for any period of time, the fire will eventually go out.
The things that you think about most of the time are
very much like logs on the
fire. If you think about what you want, and how to get it,
most of the time, more
and more of your mental abilities will be focused on achieving the goals that you
have set for yourself. But since your amount of “thinking time” is limited, when
you discipline yourself to think only about what you want,
you stop putting wood
on the fire of your negative emotions. As a result, you begin to eliminate the
doubts and fears that hold most people back.
Concentrate on What You Want
This brings us to the Law of Concentration.
This law says that,
“Whatever you
dwell upon, grows and expands in your life.”
