(Part 2 of 4)
Or are you programmed to succeed?
Of course, your answer would highly depend on your
"programming" or influences. Remember, your "programming"
can be classified as verbal
programming, modeling and specific
incident.
T. Harv Eker in his book "Secrets of the Millionaires
Mind" enumerates programming as:
1. Verbal programming-"What did you hear when you are young?"
2. Modeling - "What did you see when you are
young?"
3. Specific incident - "What did you experience when you
are young?"
Let's say that your brain is the CPU of your personal computer.
Human brains, like yours are also programmable same as your personal computer.
Whether you think you are programmed to fail or to succeed depends on the
program that is being installed in your CPU while you are young.
In my previous blog, I discussed the first key element to change
your Verbal Programming: Awareness
The second key element: UNDERSTANDING.
T. Harv Eker says, "By understanding where your "way of
thinking" originates, you can recognize that it has to come from outside
of you."
I mentioned what was my verbal programming in my previous blog Preludeto Financial Freedom: Know Your Money Blueprint. Now that I am already
AWARE, the next thing to do is to UNDERSTAND how this verbal programming has
affected me. Now it's time for you to understand your own verbal programming
too. Get back to your list of verbal programming and I will help you to understand
them.
I was introduced to responsibilities at the age of 10.But prior to
that stage, I would say, my family used to live a comfortable life. Because
that time my father works in a factory, my mom works as a dressmaker while my
eldest brother works as a family driver. In short, we have more than enough for
everything. But when my father got sick because of Tuberculosis, we have to
leave the city life and have to transfer to the province, not only to follow
the doctor's advice for my father's health but also due to financial difficulties.
To make it worst, my eldest brother went astray because of drugs. My father's
immediate successor has gone A.W.O.L! Believe me, living in the city without
money is a horrible nightmare.
More drama of my life unfolds when we transferred to the province.
When my father's health condition improves, mom has to leave for work as
household helper in the nearby town for us to survive. My sister stopped
studying and got to work as well. I do almost literally all the household
chores for me and for my dad: cooking, washing, cleaning, and even going to the
market. Honestly, I earned my Home Economics degree unknowingly. I did it in
the name of love and mission.
Since "I am the one" programmed to elevate my family from poverty, I can't afford to be a failure. True enough, I was an honor student and became instant celebrity in our place. My neighbors also contributed to my verbal programming. For them, I am the "most responsible" son in the whole wide world...and that words become flesh and my reality. When my sister settled down, my programming continues--I'm still "the one".
To prove my claim, for those who doesn't know me personally, I have something to confess—I just married last January, this year. Why? For sure, you can answer that question now.

By UNDERSTANDING, I was able to answer the million-dollar
questions in my mind. Everything made sense to me now...
I stayed single for so long because my mission that I am
"programmed" to accomplish is not yet a reality.
I stayed single for so long because until now my family
is not yet financially-free.
I stayed single for so long because getting married is a
hindrance to my mission. And to fail in my mission is not an option.
"Your thoughts originate from the "files of information"
you have in the storage cabinet of your mind. So where does this information
comes from? It comes from your past programming. That's right, your past
conditioning determines every thought that bubbles up in your mind. That's why
it's referred to as the conditioned mind," T. Harv Eker explains.
So, I'm done with the understanding of my own verbal programming,
how about yours?
Let me remind you. You cannot proceed to the third key element to
change your verbal programming unless you fully understand how your programming affects your
life.
On my next blogs, I'll show you how to make DISASSOCIATION and how to RECONDITION your programming.
