Awakening!

This day is pretty amazing I must say.

I found out that my Google Analytics finally started working! Thanks a whole lot to Cari on the Analytics Support Team.

I watched the movie "Night at the Museum" and was inspired after that. Well, how could someone learn something out of a comedy? And to be "inspired"?? I must be going a little mad.

In any case, I have read and reread Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" several times by now. And interestingly, there is this sophiscated method of influencing the subconscious in the one of the last few chapters in there. Well, it's actually not too sophiscated, but pretty hard to accept as a practice.

Ever had someone you were inspired by or regarded as very respectable? Say Warren Buffet if you're a fundamental investor. Have you ever felt that you want to be like the person you respect or are inspired by? Now, have you ever harnessed the power of actually being influenced by them?

To a certain extent, we're all influenced by those we are attached to, whether is it in a positive or negative light. And having a "hero" does inspire one to start becoming like them, maybe in small ways in the early stages. In Think and Grow Rich, they offered a conscious way to influence your subconscious. Napolean Hill used this method himself and found it very effective.

The basics are to imagine talking to your "hero(es)" in your mind. Ask them how to handle situations. Ask them to influence you. To mold you in character such that you become like them.
Napolean Hill actually conducted such "cabinet meetings" with his imaginary counsellors every night before he goes to bed. He found that the characters actually come to life after some time using this method, and he was positively influenced by them.

This method or technique is not limited to only worldly gains, but major religions all use this technique. It is usually combined with meditation. The effectiveness of the method can be proven by all who tried something similar.

And how does all this link to the comedy "Night at the Museum" one might ask. Well, in the movie, Theodore Roosevelt and a host of other exhibits came to life every night in the musuem. Pretty chaotic situation I must say. Roosevelt inspired the security guard Ben Stiller to take control of a chaotic situation then and moved every "live exhibit" to salvage a impossible situation.

The movie opened my eyes to how possible it is to actually have the imagination technique work and actually "talk" to one's imaginary heroes. I was inspired by how Ben Stiller united a divided people to work in unison towards a single goal. It's just a movie, yes, but I still have loads to learn even if it's just rehearsed acting. And I sure will look forward to studying the movie and characters again.

And one more thing, I'm gonna put aside some time tomorrow to figure out why I am on the route to conquer forex and to build the belief that I will win this battle.
