first key point

The rule of your subconscious

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
“We tiptoe through life hoping to safely make it to death.”

There are two parts to your mind — the conscious and the subconscious.

Your conscious mind, the frontal lobe of your brain, is the analytical part of your mind. Information is processed here. You figure things out here. It works without pause, save when you sleep. And it continues to develop from birth till puberty.

Your subconscious mind is the intuitive part of your mind. It comes fully developed at birth. From your birth date, your subconscious mind believes every information fed into it, by other people, through their non-verbal cues, because your conscious mind, which should be its filter, is still developing. It accepts this information as “the truth” and establishes it as “your belief.”

Your subconscious mind contains the blueprint for your life. It runs your life, not your conscious mind, based on what it perceives to be the truth — your beliefs. It’s the reason you stumble through life, doing all you know your conscious mind knows to do, and yet make no reasonable progress in life.

If you grew up with a father who struggled financially, who always said that money was hard to come by, your mindset as an adult would be no different.

No matter what you consciously decide you want, if there is an underlying subconscious belief that what you want will cause you pain or is not available to you, you will either not let yourself have it, or you will have it and lose it.

All your actions result from your subconscious beliefs, and when those beliefs are not aligned with what you want or the experiences you desire, your life becomes conflicted.

Avoid this by becoming aware of the workings of your conscious and subconscious minds. Ponder on those areas of your life where you are underperforming and try rooting out the underlying beliefs that have manifested physically. For example, if your income has flattened, check your beliefs about money and those of your parents too. Similarly, if your relationships are dysfunctional, check your beliefs in those areas too.
second key point

There’s no succeeding here on earth without first connecting with the Source Energy

There’s the spirit-side to finding your calling and making money and being happy. The seismic change you desire in your life will not happen until you become aware of and develop a relationship with the universe’s Source Energy. Every religion of the world has a name for “Him” — God, Allah, Buddha; etcetera.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
