There are a lot of things that we as human beings do that we store in our subconscious level, but they are not always what we want. Sometimes we tell ourselves that this is not what we want, but we don’t do anything to change it. We may join Weight Watchers to lose weight. We may go to Toastmasters to learn public speaking. We may take a golf lesson or a bowling lesson. We may even go get career counseling to find a job that will suit us better. But if we don’t change our mental Action Maps about ourselves, we are not going to change our outcomes.
What you have stored in the subconscious mind is stronger than the drive and energy to change. Your creative subconscious is helping you create the reality of whatever you have stored.n

You can leave things the way they are or change them. It’s your choice. There are consequences for either one. You always have a choice.
Let me put it to you this way. You have one good option and it is to say, “Stop. I’m not going to live like this any longer.”
Stop and question yourself. Challenge the process. Say to yourself, “I’m going to change. How do I want to live?” It’s up to you to decide how you want to live. You can stop repeating the same old patterns. You can challenge the automatic process that’s taking you to the wrong destination. Then you can make a new decision about how you want to live.
If you do that, what’s the worst thing that could happen? On a diet, you might say, “Well, the worst thing that could happen would be that I’d over eat.”
What would be the best thing that could happen? “I could change into the person I know myself to be.” There are thousands of books written on this subject. Every school in America, every college in America that has psychology classes can teach you how to reprogram your subconscious mind.
But I’m here to tell you right now, it’s not rocket science. It’s easy. It’s just a matter of putting the right language, the right thought process, the right thinking, the right words, the right behaviors, in at the subconscious level.
What are you feeding into that funnel? What are you typing onto the computer screen?
It’s simple. If you change the way you think, you change the way you act.
That’s not new. It has been around for a long time-since before the Bible verse, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” It’s been around forever. But we, as human beings, have made it complicated.
If you want to be a great golfer, change how you think about yourself. Change your self-image. I don’t know if you know who David Duvall is, but a couple of years ago, he was on a great winning streak. He won the British Open. He won a lot of tournaments in a row. They thought he was going to be the next Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer. But he fizzled out for while and now is on a major comeback. I trully hope he wins form is all selfimage.
I believe he outran his self-image. He didn’t see himself being a great golfer. And as a result, he is off the tour right now. He can’t even break par. A man with all the skill and talent and ability to be able to win, but he has not changed his self-image to match. Right now, he sees himself struggling and may even feel like a loser or think he’s weak. But he has all kinds of talent and skill. When you read articles about him, they say that this is a man with talent, but he doesn’t believe he can win.
Do you know anyone like that? Do have any friends like that? Do you feel that way yourself? Have you heard people say that you have a lot of talent or ability, but you haven’t really done anything with it? Do you sometimes feel like a loser or think you’re weak, you’ll never make it?
The moment you hear that, you need to say, “STOP!!” In your own mind, say, “Stop! How do I choose to live? How do I choose to be? What can I choose to do differently to get different results?”
You can challenge the process. You can challenge that negative thought process. Pay attention to what you’re programming into your subconscious mind. And start reprogramming new data into it today. You always have a choice.
