How Faith and Auto-Suggestion Turn Desire Into Wealth – Think and Grow Rich Explained

"think and grow rich" chapter 3 May 20, 2025

“There comes, now, a statement which will give a better understanding of the importance the principle of auto-suggestion assumes in the  transmutation of desire into its physical, or monetary equivalent; namely: FAITH is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principle of auto-suggestion.” Page 40 “Think and Grow Rich.”

You don’t need to wait to feel confident. You can create confidence/faith through auto-suggestion. The 6 steps are not just about writing and reading. They are a daily ritual of programming belief into your mind, until what once seemed like a dream starts to feel inevitable.

Each of Hill’s 6 steps is designed to move a burning desire from mere wish to subconscious command. Auto-suggestion is the bridge that makes it happen.

Step 1: Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire.

You must see it clearly to feed it to your subconscious.

Step 2: Determine what you will give in return.

This adds realistic commitment, strengthening belief.

Step 3: Establish a definite date.

A time-bound goal feels more real and believable.

Step 4: Create a definite plan and begin at once.

Taking immediate action reinforces belief. You begin to trust yourself.

Step 5: Write out a clear, concise statement...

This is your affirmation. A key auto-suggestion tool.

Step 6: Read your written statement aloud twice daily, with emotion.

This is auto-suggestion in action. By repeating it daily, and saying it with emotion, you begin to develop FAITH in the goal, even if you didn’t have it at the start.

The subconscious mind accepts repeated, emotional input as truth. If you read your goal with feeling, morning and night, it rewires your beliefs, and faith begins to grow. Once faith is present, the subconscious acts like a magnet, helping you notice and attract opportunities, ideas, and people that move you toward your goal.
