You Are Blocking Your Own Success

Are You Blocking Your Own Success? Here’s the Truth About the Hidden Power Inside You

Do you ever feel stuck, like there’s an invisible barrier holding you back from the life you truly desire? Whether it’s financial freedom, better health, or peace of mind, you might think the problem lies outside of you. But what if the key to transforming your life isn’t out there—but already within you?

Dr. Joseph Murphy’s timeless book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, reveals a life-changing truth: your subconscious mind is the ultimate source of healing, abundance, and freedom. The question is, are you using it wisely—or unintentionally working against yourself?

Here’s how to awaken the miracle-working power inside you to rewrite your reality.

The Subconscious Mind: Your Hidden Superpower

Your subconscious mind is a treasure house of infinite potential—a creative force that responds to your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. It holds the power to heal your body, solve problems, and transform your dreams into reality.

Dr. Joseph Murphy writes:

“The subconscious is subject to the conscious mind… Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.”

This means that everything you experience in life—your circumstances, your health, your relationships—is a direct result of the seeds (thoughts) you plant in the garden of your subconscious.

Universal Truth: You Become What You Believe

One of the most profound lessons from Dr. Murphy is this: it’s not the prayer, ritual, or action that changes your life—it’s the belief behind it. Your subconscious doesn’t respond to religious doctrine, rituals, or methods. It responds to faith, conviction, and emotion.

This idea ties directly to the Law of Belief (part of the 12 Laws of the Universe):

“As a man thinks, feels, and believes, so is the condition of his life.”

Biblical Reference:

Mark 11:23 echoes this truth: “Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe… he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

The Danger of Negative Speech

Dr. Murphy explains that your subconscious mind listens carefully to every word you speak. Repeated negative statements like “I can’t afford it,” or “I’ll never succeed” become commands to your subconscious, which works tirelessly to make those statements your reality.

Key Principle: Never finish a negative statement. Reverse it immediately. For example:

Instead of saying, “I’m terrible at money management,” affirm, “I am learning to master my finances.”

Instead of “I can’t do this,” say, “I am figuring this out step by step.”

Universal Law Connection: This principle reflects the Law of Vibration, which states that the energy of your thoughts and words attracts matching frequencies into your life. Negative words emit low vibrations, while positive affirmations raise your frequency.

The Magnetized vs. Demagnetized Mind

Dr. Murphy describes two types of people:

The Magnetized Person: This individual is full of confidence and faith. They know they are destined for success and act accordingly, attracting opportunities effortlessly.

The Demagnetized Person: This person is full of doubt, fear, and hesitation. They repel success because they are preoccupied with thoughts like, “What if I fail?” or “People will laugh at me.”

Which one are you?

The good news is, magnetism is a choice. By shifting your mindset and beliefs, you can become a magnetized person who draws success, joy, and abundance into their life.

Practical Tip: Each morning, affirm: “I am confident, capable, and aligned with opportunities that lead to success.” Repetition and faith are the keys to reprogramming your subconscious.

Your Mind is a Garden: What Seeds Are You Planting?

Imagine your subconscious mind as a garden. Every thought you think is a seed. Over time, those seeds grow into the conditions of your life. Positive seeds (thoughts of abundance, joy, and peace) produce a beautiful harvest, while negative seeds (fear, lack, and doubt) grow into weeds that choke your potential.

Practical Exercise:

Begin each day by planting positive seeds. For example, affirm, “I am worthy of success. Opportunities flow to me effortlessly.”

Replace negative seeds as soon as they arise. If you catch yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough,” immediately replace it with, “I am more than enough.”

Bible Reference:
Philippians 4:8 emphasizes this practice: “Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report… think on these things.”

Scientific Prayer: A Tool for Transformation

Dr. Murphy introduces the concept of scientific prayer, a method of aligning your conscious and subconscious mind to manifest your desires.

Here’s how to practice scientific prayer:

Clarity: Clearly define your goal or desire. Be specific.

Visualization: Close your eyes and picture your desire as though it’s already achieved. Engage all your senses.

Repetition and Emotion: Repeat affirmations daily, like “I am grateful for my financial abundance,” while feeling the emotions of gratitude and joy.

Faith: Trust that your subconscious is working behind the scenes to bring your vision to life.

Universal Law Connection: Scientific prayer reflects the Law of Attraction, where focused intention and belief align you with your desires.

The Treasure Within You

Infinite riches surround you—if only you’ll open your mind to see them. Dr. Murphy reminds us that the greatest wealth lies within, in the form of creativity, intuition, and boundless love.

Many people remain “asleep” to this truth, living in fear, doubt, and lack. But when you awaken to the power of your subconscious mind, you tap into a goldmine of abundance, wisdom, and strength.

Faith and Expectancy: The Miracle Formula

The subconscious mind responds best when you combine repetition, faith, and expectancy. Doubt is the only obstacle standing between you and your desires. When you repeat affirmations with conviction, trust, and emotional alignment, your subconscious will begin working to align circumstances in your favor.

Closing Thoughts: The Miracle-Working Power is Already Within You

The greatest gift you’ve been given is the power of your subconscious mind. It holds the ability to heal, attract abundance, and guide you to your highest potential. As Dr. Murphy says, “The treasure house is within you.”

By aligning your thoughts, words, and beliefs with what you desire, you can create a life filled with health, wealth, and happiness.
