If you repeatedly say to yourself, “I can’t afford it,” your subconscious mind takes you at your word. It sees to it that you will not be in a position to buy what you want. As long as you go on saying, “I can’t afford that car, that vacation, that home,” you can be sure your subconscious mind will follow your orders. You will go through life experiencing the lack of all these things, and you will believe that circumstances made it so. It will not occur to you that you have created those circumstances yourself, by your own negative, denying thoughts.
