6 things I learned from Believe in Yourself by Joseph Murphy

Believe in Yourself is one of Dr. Joseph Murphy’s shorter works.

But every sentence contains valuable insights into spirituality and personal success. I have read this book from start to finish twice, and each time I’ve gotten something new from it.

There is no way for me to summarize the entirety of the wisdom contained within, but I will share with you six things I learned from this book.

1. Feeling Is The Fountainhead Of Power

When personal development authors talk about goal-setting and visualization, they often add the phrase, “add emotion to it!”

I think Murphy is essentially saying the same thing here. He’s pointing out that feelings and emotions have power, and that we can learn to channel them into achieving and obtaining our desires.

If you’re setting goals that don’t motivate you, you’ll find it challenging to add feeling to them. But if you become obsessed with bringing about a result, you’ll naturally take actions and move in the direction of your wishes and longings.

You must become aware of what your true desires are. And the only way to make that happen is to build rapport with your subconscious mind (also see point #4 on this list).
