Scientists are discovering that the thoughts and beliefs we continually repeat to ourselves create neural pathways like deep grooves in our brains. These “mind grooves” affect the way we see and experience the world. Unfortunately, many of us believe that our potential for success is limited and generally think that we can’t achieve something that is unfamiliar to us. Henry Ford said, “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you are correct.” To enable us to achieve what we desire, we can create new “mind grooves” by using positive, self-affirming words, thoughts, and emotions. These will enable us to notice more opportunities for success in seemingly miraculous ways.

MIND GROOVES TO ATTRACT SUCCESS
MAKING NEW
A miracle is defined as “an extraordinary event that manifests with divine intervention in human affairs” or, “an extremely outstanding or unusual event.”
I’ve experienced seeming miracles such as being saved from cancer, and achieving large financial goals in my businesses. As soon as my beliefs were in line with what I wanted, I recognized simple steps to achieve my goals more often and with greater frequency. The author John Holland said it perfectly, “We create our life experiences with our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.” As we work to change our beliefs and master the use of spiritual tools
that enable intuition and our subconscious to guide us, seeming miracles can become typical occurrences in our lives.
Following are three important points that will help you to understand how beliefs are created and how you can attract what you desire into your life with greater success:
Repetition Reaps Rewards. Can you remember a time when you’ve driven home after work and have no awareness of large parts of your drive home? As we work to become skilled at something that we’re learning, we spend a considerable amount of physical and mental effort repeating the behavior and thought.
Once we are trained to do something and continue to practice the behavior, it gets easier and easier to do with the same successful result. Think about when you learned to ride a bike, learned to type, or learned to read. Didn’t it take a considerable amount of effort to do this at the beginning? Now, when we read, we just skim the sentence quickly and get the same understanding. There are some people who can even type as fast as they can speak.
One of my favorite new thought teachers, Florence Scovel Shinn, said “We cannot
