Million Dollar Habits

Million Dollar Habits – Page 25 
Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, think and talk about what they 
don’t want
most of the time, and 
who is to blame
for their problems and difficulties. As a 
result, they attract more and more of what they don’t want, and what makes them 
unhappy into their lives. The laws are neutral. Whatever you think and talk about 
most of the time eventually comes into your life. 
For more than one hundred years, psychologists have worked to understand and 
explain the functioning of the human mind. Starting with Sigmund Freud, and 
moving through the psychologists Alfred Adler, Karl Jung, Abraham Maslow, 
William Glasser, Eric Fromm, B. F. Skinner, and through to the modern day, they 
have sought for the reasons for happiness and unhappiness, success and failure, 
achievement and underachievement. They have all concluded, one way or the 
other, that the way your mind is programmed from early childhood plays a decisive 
role in almost everything you think, feel and accomplish as an adult. 
Your Master Program
I have personally read hundreds of books and thousands of articles on psychology 
and the functioning of the human mind. Perhaps the discovery for me was when I 
learned about the role of the 
self-concept
in human performance and behavior. 
Margaret Meade, the Anthropologist, called the self-concept, 
“the most important 
breakthrough in the understanding of human potential in the 20
th
 century.”
Your self-concept is the 
“master program”
of your subconscious computer. It acts 
as your mental operating system. Every thought, feeling, emotion, experience, and 
decision you have ever had is permanently recorded on this mental hard drive.
