Change your life in one year, in three steps

2 min readApr 8, 2025

OK. Back to smashing MAGIC against other models, this time THINK AND GROW RICH, with the third step, AUTOSUGGESTION.

Simple. You won’t take action if you don’t believe it will decrease pain and increase joy. In fact, you can TELL when someone has made that internal adjustment by the AMOUNT of action they are taking.

They have a goal. They know their “why”. They believe they CAN and SHOULD take those actions and achieve that goal. If you don’t feel yourself taking that action, the problem is that you don’t really believe its possible, or possible for you.

This is where “autosuggestion” comes in. This chapter suggests affirmation and visualization to clarify our path, until we DO believe. All the “every day in every way I’m getting better and better” stuff. But there are levels beyond what Napoleon Hill understood, but his basics were sound.

  1. Re-reading your goals morning and night
  2. Re-writing your goals morning and night.
  3. Visualizing your role models.
  4. Talking to your role models.
  5. Talking/listening to the Ancient Child duo.
  6. Affirmations said with emotional power
  7. Power stances: standing, breathing, walking AS IF you are confident
  8. Affirmations while in confident motion (Affirmation)
  9. Various NLP tools to smash negative beliefs.
