The power of your subconcious mind- joseph murphy

Becoming Emotionally Mature 
What someone else says cannot really annoy or irritate you unless you permit it to disturb you. 
Responding in kind means to descend to the level of belittling criticism and to become one 
with the negative atmosphere of the other. Identify yourself with your own aim in life. Do not 
permit any person, place, or thing to deflect you from your inner sense of peace, tranquillity, 
and radiant health. 
The Meaning of Love In Harmonious Human Relations 
Sigmund Freud, the founder of Psychoanalysis, said that unless the personality has love, it 
sickens and dies. Love includes understanding, goodwill, and respect for the divinity in the

other person. The more love and goodwill you emanate and exude, the more comes back to 
you. 
If you puncture someone else’s ego and wound her self-esteem, you cannot gain her 
goodwill. Recognise that everyone wants to be loved and appreciated. Everyone needs to feel 
important in the world. 
She Hated Her Audiences 
Mary wanted to be an actress. The first time she performed on stage she was booed by the 
audience. She hated the audience after that and could not follow her dream. After attending a 
lecture, she realized that the fault lied with her and not the audience. 
She decided to come back to stage and started praying sincerely for the audience and herself. 
She poured out love and goodwill every night before stepping onto the stage. She made it a 
habit to claim that the peace of God filled the hearts of all present and that all present were 
lifted up and inspired. During each performance she sent out love vibrations to her audience. 
She became very successful thereafter. 
Handling Difficult People 
The difficult people are twisted and distorted mentally. They are malconditioned. They are 
sick psychologically. Their minds have become deformed and distorted, perhaps because of 
experiences they have had in the past. 
What do you do when you have to deal with them? The temptation is to turn their negative 
energy back on them in the form of dislike. But to do that, you first have to take the negative 
energy into yourself, with all the bad effects. Strive instead to “return good for evil.” This 
creates an armour that keeps their difficult and unpleasant attitudes from affecting you, and 
your transmission of compassion and understanding will set in motion the process of 
changing them.
