Secret #6
Win Every Day
The following secret reveals several ideas that enable you to cash in on the mind of a winner. These ideas range from becoming your own hero to becoming a sexier person. Once you develop the mind of a winner, you will be able to apply these ideas with self-assurance. By using these ideas consistently, you can win every day.
Is the idea of winning every day really possible, or is it just a mystic's fantasy? Can you make every day a success, so that each successful day culminates in a successful life? Or are you chained to failure each day, which culminates in an unsuccessful life? Each person's sense of life or their attitude toward life ultimately determines if he or she will win or lose every day. However, the upside-down world constantly works to undermine everyone's efforts to win. What can you do? How can you beat a negative attitude and the seemingly omnipresent upside-down world?
Winning every day is an attitude. That attitude arises from rational, business-like thinking. It does not arise from irrational, mystical thinking--from faith, praying, wishful thinking, or other similar concepts that spring from the corroded mind. Once you remove all the impurities from your mind and generate sufficient knowledge, success is practically guaranteed. Moreover, that success is not temporary; it is permanent. With a clean, integrated mind, you know that you will become a winner, permanently.
In reality, you will probably not win every single day of your life. That is because the law of averages holds that you will succeed and fail at various times in your life. But that is okay. For, the goal here is to develop the attitude of seeking to win every day. In other words, you want to approach each day as if you intend on succeeding and living the life of a winner. This secret provides you with unbeatable ideas you can use now to win more often in every area of your life.
In baseball or football, everyone likes to see a home run or a one-hundred yard touchdown pass that wins the important ball games. However, almost no one likes to see the strenuous work that goes on during practice and in the gym. Yet, that extremely hard work in practice and in the gym provides the foundation for winners. The home runs and one-hundred yard touchdown passes are the cashing in on that hard work. Without that consistent daily effort, such spectacular plays would be insignificant. For, winning teams do much more than perform a few glamorous plays. They win the tough little battles every day.
This secret integrates well with the mind of a winner. With this secret, you will see ordinary things in an entirely new light. Areas such as time management, diet, and exercise that may have been problems for you in the past will now become opportunities to win every day. Also, you will see the idea of hero worship from a radically new perspective. What is the result of these ideas? You can feel better about your life on a day-to-day basis as well as from a long-range perspective. By winning every day, you grow in self-confidence, self-reliance, competence, and self-esteem. Thus, you become motivated to apply yourself one hundred per cent every single day. You look forward to getting up each morning and living each day because you know how to win every day.
Be Your Own Hero
The following are some assertions you might have heard while you were growing up. "You will never amount to anything when you grow up!" "Who do you think you are? You can't do that!" "What's wrong with you; why can't you be like the other kids?" "Are you crazy? You are a dreamer; no one could ever do what you want to do!" Do any of these or similar assertions from adults sound familiar? Regardless of the intention of those who utter these remarks, the net result is the same in many cases. That result is the diminishing of one's belief in one's own abilities and bright future. All such remarks either consciously or subconsciously undermine every child's natural exuberance, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
The undermining of every child's natural self-confidence and self-esteem is an inherent part of the upside-down world. Why is essentially every child's self-confidence and self-esteem undermined? So each child can be made a part of the upside-down world before he or she can understand what is happening. When each child becomes trapped in the upside-down world, which happens around six years of age, he or she will never know that another world exists. Thus, the upside-world can continue without opposition. If an individual arises occasionally and sees beyond the upside-down world, he or she is simply murdered Socrates/Jesus/Giordano Bruno-style. Through these dynamics, every person on planet Earth lives within the closed boundaries of an upside-down world. Moreover, these dynamics enable the corroded mind to rule everyone on the planet.
Now, today, some people have broken through the closed boundaries of the upside-down world. They have also left the corroded mind in the dust. How did they do this? They developed the mind of a winner. That is the beginning of the end of the upside-down world. For, those with the mind of a winner will outflank and outcompete all corroded minds while they bring a right-side up world to planet Earth.
As entire populations shift from today's irrational world to tomorrow's rational world, children will be free eternally. They will not be drawn into an irrational world any longer. Additionally, they will no longer be bombarded by ludicrous concepts that spring from the corroded mind. Children will remain clean, innocent, healthy, and powerful forever. Everyone else can recapture their childhood innocence, honesty, and genuine power for limitless prosperity, happiness, and romantic love.
People throughout the world will transform from dependence to independence. As they do, they will be stunned by their new-found freedom. That freedom will be all-pervasive; every aspect of their life will be marked by unbounded liberty. At first, people will not know what to do with such freedom. It will seem alien to them.
With the rise of the mind of a winner and a rational world, false authorities and bogus leaders will become uncompetitive, even ridiculous. Those external authorities, who survive by forcing others to sacrifice themselves and their values, will not be able to survive. They will become extinct. Against the newly emerging cosmic integrating minds, external authorities fade away like the oracle at Delphi. Like the lost gods of antiquity, all such external authorities will vanish, never to return to planet Earth.
If highly touted leaders such as Odysseys, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Pope Pius XII, and others fade along with their upside-world, who will people look up to? Who will people deem as heroes and model their own lives after?
In the forthcoming rational world, heroes will exist. In the upside-down world, those who are dangerous, even murderous, become heroes. For example, citizens believed Hitler to be a hero, as they did Mao and other similar people. Those who are productive, even magnanimous, become villains or "robber barons". For example, citizens believe John D. Rockefeller to be a villain, as they do Jay Gould and other similar people.
Those dynamics are reversed in the right-side up world. All who destroy human life, regardless of their good-sounding utterances, become villains. All who cause human life to flourish, regardless what envious people say about them, become heroes. Thus, in the forthcoming rational world, anyone who objectively increases the quality of human life can become a hero.
Heroes can and do play a role in the development of your character. People look up to heroes as supreme examples of the greatness that is inherent in human beings. Heroes then influence and shape the lives of everyone they touch. Sometimes a hero can be one of your own family members, such as a virtuous parent or sibling. Other times a hero can be a celebrity, such as a famous sports figure. Heroes can even come from fiction stories or movies, such as Superman. But the function of a hero remains the same, regardless if the hero is real or fictional. That function is to provide you with the inspiration to overcome your adversities and achieve what you know is right and good. This is the contribution a hero makes to your life.
Super heroes exemplify great power, strength, courage, and ability. Beautiful heroes exemplify stunning physical beauty and alluring qualities. Genius heroes exemplify startling brilliance, foresight, and mindpower. The specific heroic traits that you admire are a personal choice. That is to say, you choose your own hero for purely personal reasons. Having a hero is a natural, healthy part of conscious life, as long as you are free to choose your own hero and that choice is made rationally.
Examples of childhood heroes are Batman and Robin, the Six Million Dollar Man, and Superwoman. Examples of adult heroes are James Bond and Michael Jordan. Having a hero or several heroes can be a source of inspiration, fun, and excitement. Heroes can also have a positive impact on your character development. For, you might strive to cultivate those traits or virtues that you most desire in a hero. Again, a hero can be essentially any virtuous person, whether real or fictitious.
As you begin applying these six secrets, something unique will occur. After cleansing your mind of its impurities, developing the mind of a winner, and wielding genuine power, you will experience profound changes. First, your outlook on life begins to shift. You see the endless losses that you endured are no losses at all. Those losses from the upside-down world convert to gains in the right-side up world. Next, you begin to take on the character traits of super heroes. To your amazement, you begin to outcompete the super heroes. Shortly, you discover that you can out-think, outflank, and outcompete anything in the upside-down world--including its heroes. So what can you do when, after developing the mind of a winner, you rise above even the super heroes?
You become your own hero. Does this sound like a radical idea? Maybe it is, but it is not mystical. So long as your thinking remains grounded in the facts of reality, you can be your own hero. Yes, with a few simple techniques, you can esteem your own person as much or more than the super heroes.
To become your own hero you need accurate self-knowledge. Illusions and distortions of facts will only result in long-term suffering. By fully understanding yourself and knowing your personal history, you are on an unshakable foundation. Taking a character test will reveal your positive and negative traits. Such a test consists of asking yourself what strengths and weaknesses you have. Then you can list those traits on paper in a side-by-side comparison. In this way, you can clearly see your character development up to this point. You can see what traits you need to develop to strengthen your character. Additionally, this self-knowledge enables you to choose the direction you want to grow toward. You can then predict how your character will evolve in the coming years. With this knowledge, you can shape yourself in the image of your ideal hero.
You can use your projected character development as your own hero. That hero is the future you. And, if chosen carefully, that hero can provide as much or more inspiration as any other known hero. You create a situation that you control. That is to say, you decide which traits you want to develop, and you create an image of yourself already possessing such traits. That image, regardless how far into the future he or she might be, becomes your source of inspiration. In short, that image becomes your hero. And that image is you, albeit in the future.
By becoming your own hero, everything you do works toward your own success. You put yourself in firm control of your own personal growth and character development. You are no longer an outer-directed person; you are inner-directed. That combination of being in control of your own character development and being inner-directed leads to genuine self-respect, self-esteem, and self-confidence. You become happy to be alive when you become your own hero and you work for your own success. This day-to-day happiness is the fuel that enables you to win every day.
Guarantee Prosperity by Controlling Time
The ideas in secret #6 provide crucial tools needed to win every day. Some are new. Others are modifications of existing ideas. The idea of controlling time to gain prosperity is not a new idea. But the approach to this idea is new. Business leader and author Mark Hamilton was the first to explicitly identify this approach in the 1980s. The essence of this idea is to link all of your actions with time.
You can rise to great heights of achievement by continuously controlling time. But first you must become fully conscious of your own use of time. In the upside-down world, many people let time control their lives. Perhaps up to ninety percent of people allow time to dictate what they can and cannot do in their lives. Everyone has heard the remark "I can't do that; I just don't have enough time." Time is a valuable resource; most people wish they had more of it. Yet, time is a fixed resource in the sense that everyone, rich or poor, has twenty-four hours in a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year. What can you do?
You can control time. Controlling time can make you rich, powerful, and profoundly happy. By controlling time, you can achieve what you want and eliminate what you don't want. In fact, the mind of a winner and controlling time are an unbeatable combination that enable you to bring your dreams into reality.
In order to control time, you need to know what major goals and objectives you want to achieve. These goals become the guiding force from which all time considerations evolve. Then you need to become conscious of how you currently spend time. This means keeping track of the amount of time you spend on each activity during each day. After you become aware of the time spent on each activity, you can decide if the amount of time needs to be adjusted. For example, suppose you find that you spend an hour a day returning phone calls. You might decide that this is too much time and discover a way to cut this time in half.
You can group related tasks into categories. Those categories can then become blocks of time during the day in which you complete those tasks. Examples of categories include exercising, phone calls, productive work, marketing, studying, and so on. Within each category, you perform the same basic movements every day, but the specific content may vary from day to day. For example, during the block of time for studying, you might attend a lecture one day, read a book the next, and so on. You use that time period for studying, but the actual content of what you study might vary from one day to the next.
After you organize basic tasks into categories, and you use these categories as blocks of time, you can create a schedule. For example, you might design a schedule to include exercise from 8:00 am to 10:00 am, phone calls from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, marketing from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, producing values from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, reading from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, studying from 9:00 pm to 12:00 am, and sleep from 12:00 am to 8:00 am. The principle here is that every minute of your day is planned. This enables you to control time. (Reference: Rich Man's 3 Days of Tasks by Mark Hamilton)
Using separate blocks of time throughout your schedule enables you to build on activities from previous days. Over time, you build incredible momentum within each block of time. Moreover, the momentum in each block begins to converge with the other blocks and you explode into great accomplishments. After a while, projects seem to move forward on their own. With just a few hours each day, you advance projects that before you would never attempt because of their overwhelming complexity and size. Also, you eliminate boredom. For, you do not languish on tasks forever. Instead, you work on specific planned tasks for a short period of time and then you move on to different tasks as the blocks of time are used up. In essence, there is no time to get bored. You are too busy moving your valuable, exciting projects forward.
Having the mind of a winner and controlling time produces astonishing results. Remember, the mind of a winner has no limitations on thinking or creativity. Thus, this honest integrating mind soars into new knowledge and images that deliver genuine power and prosperity. You, with the mind of a winner, decide what needs to be accomplished based on your chosen values and goals. With an outburst of creative ideas and images, you choose the ones that are most effective for achieving your values and goals.
You visualize the final outcome of a project in clear detail. That mental picture is held in mind clearly so you can mentally experience the completed project. You then break that completed project down into workable steps or tasks. You list those tasks on paper to see which ones can be achieved and which ones cannot be achieved. Then you fill in any gaps by thinking of things that will lead to the completion of your project in the minimum amount of time.
Once you know what goals you want to achieve, and you determine the specific tasks you need to perform to achieve those goals, you can move on to the next step. That step is grouping the tasks into separate categories or blocks of time and then creating a schedule based on these blocks of time. After you have made a schedule, you can place each task into the appropriate block of time. This enables you to work on each task every day as it comes up in your schedule.
When you control time, anxiety vanishes. You no longer worry about uncompleted tasks or things you might have forgotten to do. For, you plan ahead; you know what will happen in advance. In this way, you can plan for everything except the totally unpredictable. But, if the unpredictable does occur, you are in sufficient control to handle it. You have confidence that you can shape your life in your own image. Excitement and happiness are the result.
Shifting from being controlled by time to controlling time does not happen overnight. It is not an effortless task. But it can be done. Is it worth the effort to master the art of controlling time? Is it worth the initial awkwardness you inevitably experience while learning to control time? Yes, it is worth the effort. Controlling time and accomplishing what you want to do--bringing unique values into the world that only you can create--is far more rewarding than having others tell you what to do all day long. Using your own mind to create wanted and needed values for others and society is an exciting, richly rewarding endeavor. And the most effective way to do this is through controlling time. In fact, you, with the mind of a winner, are the most qualified person to control your own time. Once you develop the mind of a winner, you will see the absurdity of allowing others to control your time. Eventually, controlling time will feel completely natural--something you will want to do for the rest of your life.
Win With Food Every Day
Millions of people have problems with food. People either overeat or undereat and become unhealthy. Many people eat unhealthy foods. Some people eat food for unhealthy reasons. For example, many people consume foods that have a high level of starch and a high quantity of sugar. Or, some people eat food to fulfill unmet emotional needs. With all the books, tapes, and courses about food that are available, why do so many people lose with food every day? Surely there is not a lack of knowledge about this subject. Ideas about diets abound on television, in bookstores, at weight loss centers, and so on.
The essence of secret #6 is to win every day. That means winning in the seemingly insignificant things you do over and over each day. When viewed from this perspective, winning is not that hard. However, you do need valid knowledge to win every day. This applies to eating as it does to everything else human beings do.
Consider the world-famous author and lecturer Denis Waitley. He says that luck is an acronym for Laboring Under Correct Knowledge. With the ideas in this secret, you will become "lucky" with food to the point where you can win every day with food. This means that you can maintain your ideal body weight and figure, eliminate intense hunger pains, end addictions to certain foods, and enjoy food more than ever while staying in control of your eating habits. To achieve these goals, however, you need to shift your perspective from living to eat to eating to live. Now let's look at some specific things you can do today to win every day with food.
Let's start with the basics. In order to win with food every day, you need to know which foods are healthy for human beings and which foods are unhealthy for human beings. In this way, you can decrease your consumption of life-diminishing foods and increase your consumption of life-enhancing foods. This is a powerful way to feel better every day.
Foods that are healthy for human beings are those that contain low carbohydrates. Also, foods that contain protein are healthy for human beings. Foods that are unhealthy for human beings are those that contain high carbohydrates. The most harmful and addictive foods are those that contain a lot of sugar in any form, including glucose and fructose. Even consuming naturally sweet fruits above a moderate amount is unhealthy for human beings. The basis for these guidelines comes from Dr. Robert Atkins' bestselling diet books. (Reference: Neo-Tech Advantage #59 by Frank R. Wallace) His low carbohydrate diet is scientifically grounded and experimentally confirmed. Furthermore, this diet is not complicated and it does not require superhuman willpower. You do not even need to starve yourself to maintain a great figure.
Winning with food does not require that you count calories per se, although this can be effective in keeping your weight down. Instead, you need to increase your intake of healthy foods, while decreasing your intake of unhealthy foods. Which foods are healthy for human beings? Those foods that contain protein, few carbohydrates, and little or no sugar. Examples of healthy foods are:
* Meat products such as beef and ham
* Fish products such as haddock and tuna
* Poultry products such as chicken and turkey
* Dairy products such as milk and butter
* Eggs
* Nuts
* Low-starch vegetables
* High-fiber cereals
Which foods are unhealthy for human beings? Those foods that contain a lot of carbohydrates and a lot of sugar. Examples of unhealthy foods are:
* Pastas
* Breads
* Potatoes
* Corn
* Sweet fruits
* Cakes, cookies, and candy
Besides increasing your intake of healthy foods and decreasing your intake of unhealthy foods, there is another thing you can do to win with food every day. You can develop consistency in your eating habits. Once you do this, you no longer need to worry about food. You will have thought in advance about what you are going to eat and when you are going to eat. Thus, you can go about your daily business without having to think about food.
For example, you might decide to eat breakfast at a certain time in the morning, lunch at a certain time in the afternoon, and dinner at a certain time in the evening. Also, you might decide to eat certain foods for breakfast, other foods for lunch, and different foods for dinner. What is the result? Your body becomes accustomed to eating at those specified times of the day. Moreover, your body becomes accustomed to eating those specified foods. Digestion becomes smoother because you crave those foods at those particular times. Eating becomes a pleasurable--not an out-of-control--experience. By knowing yourself and the foods that are good for your body, you can design a compatible diet. And if you stick to your diet, you can win with food every day. The long-range consequences of winning with food every day are better health, an attractive figure, feeling good, improved thinking, and having more self-confidence. Is winning with food every day worth the disciplined effort? Yes, it is worth the disciplined effort. Moreover, winning with food every day is an effective way to live longer.
Essentially everything that is valuable requires effort. There is no way of escaping this immutable law of reality. This applies to achieving happiness through diet and exercise. To achieve happiness through diet, you have to monitor everything that you put in your mouth, including drugs. Recreational drugs have a long-term effect of destroying the human mind and body. All such drugs always subvert your long-range happiness, regardless of the temporary feelings of euphoria. Such drugs should be avoided if your goals include: (1) survival, (2) limitless prosperity, and (3) abiding happiness.
There are some socially acceptable drugs that millions of people consume. In fact, these are so common that people typically do not even consider these as drugs. Because of this casual attitude toward these drugs, they can cause insidious damage. Such drugs are tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine. Tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine can provide short-term feelings of pleasure. However, they result in long-term damage to your mind and body, which diminishes happiness and well-being.
The choice to consume various foods, drinks, and drugs must always be left to the individual. Laws that prevent the individual from consuming various foods, drinks, and drugs are evil and insane. For, the use of initiatory force or threat of force against an individual "for his own good" is always destructive and immoral, no matter how noble-sounding the cause is.
When you learn to value your own self, the choice becomes clear: consume only those foods that increase your long-range well-being. All other food, as well as drugs, are unnecessary since they only harm your mind and body.
A person with the mind of a winner holds human life as the standard of value, and his or her self as the highest value. When such a person holds his or her self as the highest value, winning with food every day ceases to be an act of self-denial. Winning with food every day becomes a pleasurable activity of which one is proud.
Exercise Your Way to Health and Beauty
Winning with food every day is half the battle in expanding your physical well-being. Exercising regularly is the other half of the battle. Regular exercise along with a low carbohydrate diet is an unbeatable combination for health and well-being.
Most people have heard about the mythical fountain of youth that supposedly will rejuvenate one's mind and body. Such wishful thinking arises from the universal desire to look, feel, and be younger. To retain or recapture the vibrant, healthy glow of youth is an ideal held by essentially all people. Today, however, the fields of science and medicine do not yet have the advanced knowledge to stop or turn back the human biological aging process. Techniques to prevent or reverse the human aging process are still in the experimental stage of development. Nonetheless, you do not have to surrender to old age and its detriments. You can reduce or prolong the grotesque effects of aging starting today. How? Through exercise.
The two keys to exercise that produce long-range rejuvenating effects are: (1) aerobic exercise and (2) regular daily exercise. Let's look at the first key.
There are two primary forms of exercise. They are aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise increases the body's capacity to process oxygen. This kind of exercise also improves the cardiovascular system, allowing it to function more efficiently. Furthermore, aerobic exercise can increase your energy level and endurance. Some examples of aerobic exercise are running and cycling.
Anaerobic exercise, by comparison, does not increase the body's processing of oxygen, nor does it improve the cardiovascular system. Instead of increasing your endurance, anaerobic exercise develops physical strength. Some examples of anaerobic exercise are isometrics and weightlifting.
Of the two primary forms of exercise, aerobic exercise is the most effective for producing long-range health, well-being, and happiness. Anaerobic exercise does not harm human beings. This form of exercise simply needs to be combined with aerobic exercise to achieve maximum physical fitness.
The second key to experiencing the rejuvenating effects of exercise is consistency. This is a crucial factor for long-term positive results in essentially all areas of life, including exercise. In the realm of physical exercise, consistency delivers ever-increasing well-being.
The more you exercise, the more your body adjusts to the workout. In time, you can engage in a rejuvenating aerobic workout everyday with relatively little effort. You then reap healthy benefits and an invigorating feeling every single day. For example, say you run a mile, three times a week. This can be challenging at first. Soon, however, you will find that this becomes easy. You can then increase your workout to three miles, five times a week. Gradually, you can work up to running five miles every day. You will wake up one morning and realize that you run thirty-five miles per week, every week of the year. More important, you will live with near-perfect health, limitless reserve energy, and a rejuvenated mind and body.
If approached rationally, you will enjoy aerobic exercise. Contrary to common utterances about not having enough time or ambition to exercise, you eventually look forward to exercising. When you become accustomed to daily aerobic exercise, it becomes a fulfilling activity. You will then experience a healthy, natural high from running or other aerobic activities. At that point, exercising every day becomes as desirable as eating every day.
A simple but effective way to enhance your daily aerobic exercise is stretching. Stretching is such a basic activity that you can easily overlook it. However, if physical health and well-being are your aim, stretching cannot be overlooked. Valid stretching techniques, such as those taught by bestselling author Bob Anderson, can make a marked improvement in the quality of your life. Stretching before and after your daily exercise greatly improves flexibility and leaves you feeling good all day.
What are the results of daily aerobic exercise and stretching? The results are health, well-being, vitality, youthful beauty, and natural highs. Those results are available to essentially everyone. With exercise and forthcoming scientific & medical breakthroughs, you can avert the negative effects of aging.
The natural highs that you experience from daily aerobic exercise and stretching feel much better than the unnatural highs that come from destructive activities such as drinking alcohol, using drugs, or manipulating people. Natural highs arise from activities that add to the psychological and physical well-being of the human organism. As such, they do not leave hangovers or feelings of guilt.
Other less-known benefits that flow from regular aerobic exercise and daily stretching include increased self-confidence and self-awareness. Both of these increase your level of prosperity, happiness, and romantic love throughout your life. An aerobically conditioned, physically fit individual feels confident to deal with anything in life. That self-confidence enables you to overcome real or imagined fears and initiate beneficial actions. Self-confidence can be the determining factor that enables you to take risks for big payoffs or make contact with a potential romantic love partner.
Increased self-awareness enables you to know what is going on throughout your body. This knowledge can be invaluable for making decisions about what is good and bad for your body. Moreover, heightened self-awareness enables you to experience rich sexual pleasures. The ability to relax and be aware of every area of your body during sex allows you to feel the stimulating pleasures available to human beings. And that ability to relax, be aware of yourself, and experience rich sexual pleasures makes you even more appealing to your partner.
Enjoy the Sexier New You
Think for a moment of all the things available to you that can make you a sexier person. You can enhance your sexual attractiveness with certain hair styles, make up, perfume or cologne, clothes, cars, houses, furniture, psychotherapy, education, financial investments, health club memberships, and self-improvement courses. These and other similar things can make you healthier, happier, richer, and sexier. Yet, sex appeal originates from inside your self, not from outside your self. Sex appeal comes from exercising the personal initiative to develop yourself, your character.
There is no escaping the following fact of human life: achieving health, wealth, power, happiness, and romantic love are each person's own responsibility. The corroded mind has buried that fact in a sea of independence-breaking illusions. The corroded mind has reasons for wiping out self-responsibility.
Before the discovery of the mind of a winner, the corroded mind ruled life on Earth. The corroded mind consists of the specialized mind, the mystical mind, and the criminal mind. The criminal mind--which is the dishonest integrating mind--dominated the planet. No one could escape its far-reaching grasp. From people-sacrificing religions to people-killing governments, the dishonest integrating mind controlled all. The three tools of the dishonest integrating mind are: (1) initiating the use of force against others, (2) threatening to use force against others, and (3) using fraud against others. Those three tools proved to be a lethal combination as the criminal mind took control of planet Earth a few thousand years ago.
Since then, the dishonest integrating mind has refined its techniques for controlling everyone. One of those refined techniques consists of promoting false concepts as valid. Such false concepts include original sin, sex as shameful, and external authorities. These and similar false concepts has had a devastating effect on everyone. For, these false concepts encompassed all human beings. The constant promulgation of such false concepts throughout the centuries has hurt everyone badly.
The dishonest integrating mind, which is the antipode of the honest integrating mind, used this technique of promoting false concepts to control everyone. By linking sin with the nature of man, guilt with money, and shame with sex, everyone was psychologically weakened. As the criminal mind constantly lowered everyone's self-esteem, people became ripe for being duped and drained. In fact, people all over the world were duped and drained for millennia by the dishonest integrating mind.
One of the devastating results of the dishonest integrating mind is the subtle, constant destruction of everyone's natural independence, initiative, and self-responsibility. Because of the constant undermining of people's self-esteem on a grand scale, individuals became vulnerable to external authorities. And those external authorities--who are nothing more than well-camoflauged criminal minds--cleverly broke the independent spirits in children, adolescents, and adults. The external authorities fostered dependency while they undermined independence. They did this to prevent everyone from discovering the timeless secret to prosperity and happiness: genuine prosperity and happiness come from integrated honesty, personal initiative, and continuous self-effort. If the criminal mind could prevent everyone from discovering this secret, people everywhere would become dependent. They could be controlled. Who would control everyone? Those who use criminal thinking.
To increase your health, beauty, and sex appeal, you have to rely on your own self, not on external authorities. In reality, your own self is the only being in existence capable of achieving these values. More important, constant self-reliance is the mechanism that fulfills your prime responsibility as a human being. That responsibility is to develop your own character--to evolve into a mature human being capable of successfully dealing with reality. From a mature character flow life's greatest joys, including abiding prosperity, profound happiness, and exciting romantic love.
Controlling time, winning with food, and exercising every day requires self-discipline. That discipline, in turn, requires character development. For, a mature character is capable of sustaining self-discipline. Even though an evolved character is an intangible value, that is, it cannot be seen or touched directly, it is a major factor in your sexual attractiveness. Physical beauty can and does contribute to sex appeal. However, total reliance on physical beauty to attract and retain a love partner is incomplete at best, futile at worst. Why? Because people are conceptual beings, and, as such, they seek beautiful spiritual attributes as well as beautiful physical attributes. A well-developed character combined with a well-developed body culminates in a sexy man or woman. And that man or woman can continuously expand the pleasures and happiness inherent in a romantic-love relationship.
What enables a person to develop his or her character into a mature human being? The same mechanism that the criminal mind constantly works to undermine: no compromise self-reliance. The independent spirit and personal initiative that comprise self-reliance puts you on the trajectory to open-ended personal growth. That personal growth leads to an incremental development of your character. While self-reliance is never effortless or automatic, it does become easier to exercise when you practice it every day. Eventually, you discover that you are accustomed to self-reliance. You like the feeling of being in control of your own self, life, and destiny. Relying on external authorities to guide your life becomes as ridiculous as guiding a nation by the stars in the night sky. When you experience the positive feelings that come from controlling your own destiny, you can no longer look to external authorities for guidance.
How do you control your destiny? By developing the mind of a winner. After you do this, stagnation ceases to be an influential force in your life. In fact, you have no time for stagnation. Also, a dead-end future yields to an open-ended future. By developing the mind of a winner, you find, as a pleasant surprise, that you have more opportunities than you can exploit. You transpose yourself from a world of shrinking opportunities to a world of expanding opportunities. Why does this happen? Because when you develop the mind of a winner, you are capable of successfully dealing with reality. You become a highly valuable person. For, you are capable of producing objective values for yourself and others. That results in prosperity and happiness for everyone.
At that point, your desire to live increases daily. You actually look forward to getting out of bed each morning. You think, "I want to experience the best that life has to offer." You may even express the desire to live forever. Yes, the thought of growing into permanent prosperity and happiness without dying becomes appealing. Life shifts from pain to pleasure. You explicitly know how to benefit from every event that touches your life. This is because you have an honest integrating mind that can accurately perceive and integrate reality. Also, because you have a mature character, you consistently act on reality, not on illusions.
What is the result of evolving into a mature human being that has the mind of a winner? Fear and anxiety vanish. In their place arises rational fearlessness and fulfillment based not on self-deceptions or wishful thinking, but on the facts of reality. The fact is that a mature human being--a person who has developed his or her rational mind and moral character--has nothing to fear and nothing to be anxious about. The self-developed soul is the competent master of his or her own life. The mature human being is his or her own quiet superman or superwomen. He or she is the person who does not need to tell anybody about his or her developed powers, although others sense those powers.
Those who do not develop the mind of a winner and do not develop their character display one common attribute. That attribute is the inability to accurately perceive reality. In fact, nearly everyone without the mind of a winner has no idea how to accurately perceive and integrate reality above the perceptual level. Man, however, is a conceptual being. He cannot survive very long at the animal level of cognition--at the perceptual level. He must integrate the data from his senses into valid concepts, and integrate those concepts into valid thoughts. This enables him to think conceptually and to deal with reality successfully.
Conceptual thinking enables one to unleash the awesome power inherent in human beings. That power enables man to take control over nature and generate limitless prosperity, happiness, and romantic love. How do those who have not developed the mind of a winner think conceptually? In many cases, they think subjectively, irrationally. That is to say, confusions and contradictions permeate their abstract thinking. Due to the fact that actions follow thoughts, many of their actions produce frustrating results.
All such confusions, contradictions, and frustrations are no longer necessary. For, today, with the discovery of the mind of a winner, you can bypass the pain and desperation experienced by those trapped in the upside-down world. With the mind of a winner, you can break free from that crazy world and control your own future to gain genuine power, abiding prosperity, and profound happiness.
Once you develop the mind of a winner, you will experience new things that you never knew existed. Realms of new knowledge and excitement unfold right in front of your eyes. You grasp things that you previously could not even imagine. Such dynamics put you in a position where boredom vanishes. Drudgery, stagnation, and boredom become relics from a bygone era. You emerge in a world of never-ending excitement and fulfillment.
By developing the mind of a winner, you know exactly what to do to get whatever you want. And, suddenly, with your mind/body development, others begin to notice the sexier new you. Potential romantic love partners are drawn to you as your genuine power radiates from within. Fun and excitement result.
Eventually, winning every day becomes easier than it seems. Using the tools provided throughout this secret, winning every day is within the reach of everyone. Losing every day is no longer necessary. And, by using the tools provided throughout secret #1, you benefit from losses too. For, you can convert essentially any problem, failure, or loss into an equivalent opportunity for your own success. You, with the mind of winner, become unstoppable. You can and do get whatever you want--including living a longer, healthier, more rewarding life.
As survival pressures force everyone to dump the corroded mind and develop the honest integrating mind, you will be several steps ahead of the competition. Where will those survival pressures come from? They will come from business and personal relationships. Simply put, those with the corroded mind cannot handle the vast integrations needed to compete against the mind of a winner in business and personal relationships. Against the mind of a winner, all corroded minds--specialized minds, mystical minds, and criminal minds--are uncompetitive. No one can match the omnipotence that flows from the mind of a winner--the honest integrating mind. For, the honest integrating mind can integrate everything, not just in the universe, but in eternal existence. Yes, the scope of the mind of a winner is breathtaking. Its power is also breathtaking. Anyone who develops this mind will be the de facto wielder of power that the corroded mind cannot even imagine.
In fact, the discovery of the mind of a winner has titanic consequences for every man and women alive. Consider that prehistoric man functioned without conceptual consciousness for millennia. Then, a few unknown individuals discovered conceptual consciousness. That discovery spread throughout the world. Within a short time, essentially everyone in the civilized world functioned through conceptual consciousness, at least during their youth. Every facet of life changed. Those who remained in the prehistoric mentality perished. Those who evolved survived.
Now, today, at the close of the twentieth century, humanity faces another epochal event. That event is the exchanging of the corroded mind for the mind of a winner. Those who do not develop the mind of a winner will not be able to successfully compete for survival and prosperity. Those that do develop the mind of a winner--the honest integrating mind--will dominate life. They will go on to become the masters of the universe. They will become the rulers of existence. Without a backward glance, they will capture all the power, wealth, and romantic love available on Earth.
Once you develop the mind of a winner, you will see right through the modus operandi of the corroded mind. You will wonder how such a ridiculous mind--a mind that wallows in nonreality and irrationality--could have ruled the planet for over 2300 years. Then, after pondering the insanity of those dynamics, you will no longer be able to look back. For, you will be capturing such rich advantages that looking back becomes a waste of your time.
Upon developing the mind of a winner, you rise to integrated strength and control. That strength and control flows from your ability to accurately perceive, integrate, and consistently act on objective reality. Everyone in the upside-down world remains ensconced in look-good illusions and sound-good con jobs. But you, with the mind of a winner, soar beyond that insane world. You soar to brand-new heights of excitement and fulfillment.
