How to Gain Self-Confidence: Step One

Follow a Great Teacher and Be Yourself:

Recently I was at a big convention and we enjoyed several excellent keynote speakers. Napoleon Hill was quoted right and left by every speaker. He is the grandfather of personal development and compiled 13 Success Principles.

I carry this book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill with me all the time and read a small segment at a time like the Bible.

I learned to do this from Bob Proctor I studied with for 7 years. Paul Martinelli, the past president of LifeSuccess Consultant Licensing Training Program, taught me how to set up Mastermind Groups using this book.

I am a Japanese woman and it is impossible to be like Napoleon Hill, Bob Proctor, Paul Martinelli or other great teachers I studied with. Even though I copy and emulate their methods and styles extensively still have to be me.
Today in 2020, I am very honored to include Anthony Robbins and Dean Graziosi as my mentors.

What does it mean “to be me”?
A true process of discovering myself and achieving my dream must include learning from a great teacher; putting my ego aside; developing the spiritual intelligence to know the difference between wise advice from mere opinions.

In this lesson we will discuss Step One:

The First Step in Hill’s Self-Confidence Formula states:
(there are three parts; and I would like to break down Step One for you.)

I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life;
Therefore, I DEMAND of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment,
and I here and now promise to render such action.

[Part 1]

Let’s talk about the Definite Purpose. To know your definite purpose is not easy. You would have to dig in deep to know who you are. What you want.

You almost have to go back to the time before people crashed you, messed with your dreams and before you got programmed by the society or the people around you to be ordinary, regular and to conform to their norm.
before all these, when you were confident… so it’s like what comes first the chicken or the egg.

We already covered in another video, How to gain self-confidence: Prerequisite 0999 the difficulties of coming up with one’s Definite Purpose for a certain kind of a personality type. And how to overcome that to find out your Definite Purpose.

What is the Object of the Definite Purpose?
The object of your definite purpose consists of all the things, situation, and plans you will have lined up… those are your specific dreams come true.

If you are skillful at visualization and see clearly what it’s like when you have all these things; how your body senses and your emotions are like, achieving your Definite Purpose is much easier. This process will be much more fruitful.

This is based on the Law of Perpetual Transmutation and what you imagine and desire attract the same energy and the Universe’s intelligent impulses to manifest your thought into your life. Needless to say you are building strong faith, that deep knowing that what is invisible and intangible now … will come to you.

[Part 2]

The second part… I demand of myself persistent, continuous actions toward its attainment…All successful people who achieve their dreams are persistent. They never quit because of obstacles or difficulties.

The Law of Gender also known as the Law of Germination is your guide and it’s working for you. The seed of your dream is planted in the Universal Garden of Achievement. In order for the seed to grow, it requires nutrients, warmth and water and the sun light. You cannot just get it quickly or as fast as you want. Each seed has its own timing. A wise farmer knows to speed up the growth process but the timing of germination itself cannot be changed. Be patient, be consistent and persist regardless of difficulties and obstacles you may run into.

A world renowned pianist was not born in a year or two. A brain surgeon went through years of studying and training. Trust that your time will come with your consistent action. Have faith in the process.
the Law of germination.

[Part 3]

and I here and now promise to render such action.

I promise, I pledge…

You are declaring your commitment to the Universe and to yourself.
A thought by itself impressed in the mind will not manifest. But with its announcement, consistent effort, action, the Universe will bring to you the physical equivalent of what your mind conceived…the object of the Definite Purpose!

Additional Tips for your Transformation:
I have met many successful, high achievers and very prominent people. They all have moment of weaknesses… vulnerable moments. Moments of doubts.
As you go through Step one, write down five of your great strengths, character assets or accomplishments… no matter how insignificant it may seem to you.

Be grateful to be who you are now,
who you are becoming
and celebrate your own magnificence and unique YOU every single day.

Have a wonderful day. Follow along this lesson in my blog.
