Why Step 6 Is the Most Powerful Habit – Mastering Repetition and Faith
May 19, 2025Once you have completed Step 5 (written your clear, concise statement), you arrive at the most powerful habit in the entire process: Step 6.
Step 6: “Read Your Statement Aloud Twice Daily With Faith”
Why Step 6 Matters:
-
It builds faith—the driving force behind all success in Think and Grow Rich
-
It reinforces focus—you review your goal morning and night
-
It increases resilience—daily repetition keeps the goal top-of-mind during setbacks
-
It connects the conscious and subconscious mind—the real engine of results
Practical steps to achieve this:
1. Use Emotion: Reading your statement aloud won’t work unless you feel what you’re saying. Speak it as if your life depends on it, because your future does. Napoleon Hill’s states “The subconscious mind will not act upon wishes. It only acts upon definite plans backed by definite belief.”
2. Make It a Ritual:
- Morning: Sets the tone for the day. This starts the mind with belief and direction.
- Evening: Implants it in the subconscious before sleep, when the mind is most receptive
3. Visualization: As you read your statement, see yourself already in possession of the money. Feel the pride, the peace, the power of having it. Involve emotion, not just logic.
4. Create a Routine to Follow:
-
Stand or sit with confidence
-
Read slowly and with feeling
-
Visualize each sentence
-
End by saying: “It is done. I believe I will have this.”
Repetition plus emotion is the gateway to belief, and belief is the foundation of achievement. This step reinforces the entire process. It’s not just about words, it’s about programming the subconscious mind with faith-fueled repetition.
Repetition with faith transforms words into beliefs. Beliefs shape identity. Identity drives behavior. Behavior brings results.
