A Special Time for Special Relationships

Christmas is for many overwhelming and stressful, presents and food to be bought, family gatherings to be arranged. It is therefore a time when relationships are foremost on their minds. But for some, it is a time of deception, when the printed words of peace and love are in direct opposition to what they really feel inside.

“At this time of year, any relationships that are under strain may totally split asunder. As families gather together old animosities and rivalries can bubble to the surface. The mature approach is to just let them go but it is not easy. It takes two people to have a disagreement. If one of them (you) decides that life is too short and makes a personal commitment to let the real happiness and peace that is Christmas become a reality, then there is no argument. There is no point in winning a series of battles if you can simply end the war”.

Now is the time to review relationships at home, work, and in a social environment, to create a strategy for repairing any relationships that are suspect and terminating those that are beyond repair. It takes inner strength to make the decisions and the commitment. Even small achievements can create their motivation. “If you use your energy to perpetuate a feeling of grudge, envy or hurt, then you are using energy that could, and should be directed to more positive things – like building yourself the life that you truly desire”.

When repairing relationships there is no blame, no right and no wrong. There is simply an outcome or result that arises from an action. If you can learn the actions that create harmony and peace, then the joy of Christmas really will, as the cards say, stay with you throughout the rest of the year. If you want to change somebody else the only place you can begin is with changing yourself. And, the only time you can start is right now”.

The Crystallization of Desire Into Action

We have learned that thoughts are things and we bring them into physical form. It starts with us having a DESIRE. In this chapter Mr. Hill tells us the method or recipe of ORGANIZED PLANNING. It began with the instructions given in chapter 2.

The 6 steps of the instructions are:

• First. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is important to have a clear goal.
• Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. There is no such reality as   “something for nothing”.
• Third. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire. Without this step, it could take the rest of your life or longer.
• Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

This step is the ORGANIZED PLANNING.

Mr. Hill’s recipe is: Take DESIRE (the first step toward riches) and hand it over to your IMAGINATION (the 5th step toward riches, the workshop of the mind) to create plans to reach the DESIRE. Take the PLAN and create a MASTERMIND that is appropriately motivated and that meets frequently to work on the plan.

• Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it. In other words, write the first 4 steps down.
• Sixth. Read your written statement out loud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning.

This becomes your self-talk or AUTO-SUGGESTION to your SUBCONSCIOUS which automatically attaches memories (SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION) or, will search the ether for thoughts (through CREATIVE IMAGINATION and THE SIXTH SENSE) of other THOUGHTS that will cause actions for the requested DESIRE to become known to you. The subconscious has no other choice than to do what you tell it to do. As you read what you have written, see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money. Also make sure to attach the positive emotions, assuming you are after a positive outcome.

Mr. Hill says that these steps are the most important to reach the goal of the PLAN. You must work with others that are interested in seeing the plan come to fruition. Your mastermind group need not be large. It could be one other person. The point is that together, you create a third collective mind that is capable of trouble-shooting the plan. They have different life experiences form you. Perhaps they’ve tried what you are doing before and are able to shortcut or emphasize on steps that should be taken. They also have their own pool of other people they can call on if you both reach a place of unknown for the both of you.

If and when you come upon failure or TEMPORARY DEFEAT, the plans should be examined and reworked with the mastermind. PERSISTENCE (the 8th step toward riches) should be applied to power FAITH (the 2nd step toward riches) in the DESIRE and use the recipe in step 4 again. Repeat as needed and never give up. Thus the steps in chapter 2 ultimately craft the auto-suggestion and the reason for the mastermind to be.

“Some people foolishly believe that only MONEY can make money. This is not true! DESIRE, transmuted into its monetary equivalent, through the principles laid down here, is the agency through which money is “made.” Money, of itself, is nothing but inert matter. It cannot move, think, or talk, but it can “hear” when a man who DESIRES it, calls it to come!” – Napoleon Hill.
