Excerpt from The Total Package, Chapter 1

In order to fulfill your life’s purpose and achieve your desired lifestyle, you must embark on your own personal “fantastic voyage.” Think of this as the most exciting and incredible journey you could ever imagine. The real beauty of this “voyage” is that you possess the total power to choose the destination most attractive and beneficial to you. If it is a truly worthwhile destination you seek, the journey will teach you many valuable and sometimes difficult lessons about life and people. However, reaching your ultimate goal will be a life-changing experience that will take you to the most fabulous and inspiring places conceivable.

In order to achieve a full understanding of how your thinking can change your life, it is of primary importance to understand that you are a unique and complex individual composed of body, mind, and spirit. Your mind, working in concert with your body and spirit, is what will ultimately take you to your goal. Understanding how your mind operates is a critical first step in this process of goal achievement.

Any information processed by your mind will have an effect on your entire being, whether or not you are aware of it, and most of the time you are not. Every word or thought that enters your brain will produce both a physiological (body) and psychological (mind) response. Your mind’s past programming as well as your current state of mind will determine your response. You and you alone have the power to respond negatively or positively to the information or thoughts with which you are presented.

Your mind is composed of two different mechanisms: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is the reasoning part of your brain, the part where you make all decisions such as which friends you will have, what home to buy, the right school for your children, etc. On the other hand, there is a second, much different and less understood mechanism that your mind employs: the subconscious mind.
