LAW OF SUBSTITUTION.

One of the 'mental laws' conceptualized by New Thought Teachers in the early 1990's is the 'law of substitution.' This law means that the only way to dispense with a certain thought is to replace it with another.

Brian Tracy, in his book Maximum Achievement, explains the law of substitution this way:
"It states that your conscious mind can hold only one thought at a time, and that you can substitute one thought for another. The 'crowding out' principle allows you to deliberately replace a negative thought with a positive thought."

It is not practical to try to just erase a train of thoughts from your mind. If you did, your mind would be blank and that is not productive or possible because it was not designed to be empty. It is impossible to eradicate a thought from your mind unless you fill the space with something else. If you say to yourself, "I won't think about my lost job. I won't think about it," I guarantee you will continue to think about your lost job. If instead, you turn your thoughts to the warmth of your life, how to secure a new job, how to equip yourself the more, the thought of the lost job is forced out.

To live your dream, you must think about one thing at a time. Though the mind produces the two thought (positive and negative, happiness and sadness) at a time but you've got to know what you want in your life. One thought at a time increases your chance of achieving greatness, have an everlasting relationship among other.

If you want a true relationship, stop pondering on the pains, hurts you have passed through in the previous one. If you want to be successful in your career, stop considering the failures of the past. Negativity breeds negativity and in the same vein positivity breeds positivity. You can't be thinking about success rate and failure rate at once, you have to be focussed to one. Dispense the thought that is holding you back with the thought that can move you forward.

To your ultimate success,
