How Emotionalized Thoughts and Faith Manifest Wealth – Think and Grow Rich Explained
May 23, 2025“Consider again the statement, ALL THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALIZED, (given feeling) AND MIXED WITH FAITH, begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.” Page 41 “Think and Grow Rich.”
The subconscious mind doesn’t respond to vague wishes or cold logic. It only accepts emotionally charged, repeated commands.
This quote explains why the 6-step method works:
- You create a thought (your goal).
- You give it emotion (desire, commitment, enthusiasm).
- You feed it with faith (belief that it’s possible).
- You impress it repeatedly into your subconscious mind.
- The subconscious begins to influence your actions, habits, and perceptions, leading you toward the goal in real life.
Even the best-written goal or detailed plan won’t manifest if it’s not emotionalized and believed in. That’s why many people fail. They go through the motions, but never stir up the emotion or build the faith.
The 6 steps are a systematic way to emotionalize your desire, inject it with faith, and impress it on your subconscious mind so it begins transforming into reality.
Step 1: Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire.
A clear, focused thought gives the mind something concrete to work on.
Step 2: Determine what you will give in return.
Adds emotional weight. You’re not just wishing, you’re committing something valuable.
Step 3: Establish a definite date.
Creates emotional tension (urgency) and pulls the goal into focus.
Step 4: Create a definite plan and begin at once.
Action helps build faith through experience and momentum.
Step 5: Write a clear, concise statement of your goal.
This becomes your repeated affirmation. The thought you will emotionalize.
Step 6: Read your statement aloud twice daily, with emotion and belief.
This is the key step. By repeating your written goal with feeling and faith, you’re doing exactly what the quote describes: Emotionalizing a thought and mixing it with faith. Which then triggers the subconscious to begin its transformation into physical form.
Success begins in the mind, but only when your thoughts are infused with emotion and belief. That’s what activates the subconscious, and that’s exactly what the 6-step method is designed to do. Turn desire into faith-fueled action, and thought into reality.
