In order to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced business environment, we have to make faster, more intelligent decisions than any of our competitors. One of the ways many of the top business leaders of the world do this is through what is known as “mindfulness.”

In the article “How To Optimize Your Brain To Make More Money,” you saw that Einstein was not born with his brain; he built it! Through what we now know as neuroplasticity, we have power over our brains. By repeated thoughts, we build thicker neurological connections in the muscles in our brain, which will always help us to outperform our competitors.

In Ray Dalio’s Inside Quest interview, he explained that our emotions have a greater impact on our actions than our logic, and meditation enables us to make the best use of both the emotional and logical parts of the brain.

Jerry Seinfeld has been practicing mindfulness for 40 years, and he believes mindfulness is like a cell phone charger for your brain. Mindfulness is a form of meditation; however, many people resist the idea of meditation because it’s too “hippyish,” too “woo-woo,” or they feel it is connected to some religious practice.

Yes, there are certain types of mediation that are part of their religious practice, but meditation, and especially mindfulness meditation, by itself does not. The meaning of mindfulness is to be in the moment, which is why so many business leaders practice mindfulness. Stress and worry are destructive and cause our brains to underperform.

Neuroscience shows we have between 50,000-60,000 thoughts every day, with 90% of those thoughts being the same thought you had the day before. Isaiah 43:18 says: “Do not remember the former things and do not dwell on the past. Look! I am doing something new.“

So you have to stop thinking those same old negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts.

People say they want to change their life; however, they surround themselves with feelings that are familiar to them, and when they are on the brink of change, they slip into their old habits because they are familiar. We end up self-sabotaging ourselves because it is familiar. People believe they are not in control of their emotions; however, thought alone can change the way you feel, whether real or imagined.

People want a new life; however, instead of creating a vision in their mind of their future, they feel unworthy because they focus on negativity, which sabotages their future. People wait for their lives to change for them to feel happy and successful.

2 Corinthians advises us to bring every thought into captivity. In other words, do not let your mind wander because if you do not learn to take control of your brain, someone else will control what you think about.

It is almost impossible to go from thinking negatively to thinking positively. You need to stop the momentum of your thoughts! This is why mindfulness is so important. Mindfulness is a tool to train your mind to think.

Chances are, you have lived your entire life, letting society, advertisers, and the media control your thinking. It is now time for you to learn how to control your thoughts. In order to turn off the “busyness” of your mind and the chatter, you will want to see our YouTube video entitled “Meditation For Beginners”.

Many meditation teachers will start you out by focusing on the air coming in and out of your nose to turn off the chatter. This is the place where you will not worry about your stresses and problems. You are in the moment, and you are also not worrying about the future.

Most people mind live in the past or the future; however, the world’s most successful people live in the moment. They have a job to do, and they don’t have time to worry or stress about it. Once you turn off the chatter and the negative thinking, you can then focus on positive thoughts.

Andrew Carnegie the “Steel King” who was once the richest person in the world, said that his dying wish was to give ordinary people access to the secret knowledge of wealth. Many of you know Napoleon Hill’s classic “Think and Grow Rich.” As you saw in the article “The Medici Code,” Napoleon Hill did not finish his writings until after Andrew Carnegie’s death. At that time, Henry Ford felt that his work held too many secrets of the rich and released an abbreviated version of “Think and Grow Rich.” It was originally a correspondence course through mail order entitled “The Laws of Success.”

Andrew Carnegie learned how to control his mind through one of his early mentors Charles Haanel. He offered a correspondence course and mastermind session where a group of elite businessmen would meet together, paying their 2-year salary to be mentored by Charles Haanel. He wanted to open up this opportunity to anyone willing to commit to it; however, those in power were so threatened by these secrets that they made his writing illegal, fearing that anyone could learn these secrets and take away their positions. However, after he died in 1949, all but a small group of elite entrepreneurs forgot about Charles Haanel.

In 2017, I was once invited to attend a very secret and elite group of leaders where a whole new world of opportunity was opened up to me, where I learned of the writings of Charles Haanel. I want to invite you to come along with me on this journey of what I’m learning from the past writings of Charles Haanel to control my mind through a series of stages.

You will not be able to complete each stage at this point; however, through practice and building the muscles in your brain known as neuroplasticity, you will be able to master this. You will take one stage at a time. Once you have master one stage, you can move on to the next stage until you have mastered each and every stage. These mind exercises have been practiced by kings and the elites for over 600 years, including the Medic family, Einstein, Edison, and Tesla.
