by I am extremely overjoyed to be back at it posting updates regarding the reading of Think & Grow Rich. The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions and activity of which I will post about at later this week. In the meantime, I missed 2 chapters of our readings. To remedy this situation, I will post additional questions from this reading on Tuesday of next week.
I must admit this chapter made sense to me and it reminded me of the way we would learn new ideas in college, we would repeat information in our head while cramming late night. Then if we were smart and learned from that poor decision, we would create flashcards and practice teaching ourselves key information we would need later for exams. At least that’s what I would do to keep my brain focused. I remembered this technique when I read this chapter and it’s as if I had my own moment of clarity where I realized, I need to go back and review the chapters and instructions indicated. Then I need to pull out my journal and begin answering the questions I have previously posted.
Since there has been enough delay as it is, indicated below are the questions for reflection regarding Chapter 4: Auto-Suggestion. This week I added a few additional questions to make up for my absence. If you haven’t yet begun to answer the questions posted, now is a great time to begin.
