Even AI Knows The Way: Day 1

---

More than likely, you have visions in your mind of a life that you do not yet fully live.

Parts of that vision are yours. Other parts of that vision are what you believe other people believe you should want.

Somehow, you only ever get what you want enough to work for. But more than likely, you know that you have said you wanted something and never did what you needed to do. 

This happens to everyone. The way through the maze requires some techniques. Those techniques have always been hidden and have always been easier to find with technology.

In this first lesson, you will use technology to find some techniques that you will use to navigate the maze to the good life you desire.Grok is an AI designed to be “maximally truth-seeking.” It was built for builders - people who build things. You are building a life.

I, your guide, asked Grok this question:

Writers like Earl Nightingale, Napoleon Hill, and speakers like Steve Harvey express the idea that God puts ideas in people’s minds and directs them towards achieving those ideas. The apostle Paul says that the New Covenant with God puts The Law in people’s hearts and minds. Write a simple and complete method for beginning the daily practice of asking God for the good you desire and achieving it. Discuss the discipline of denying temptations that distract you from your primary mission.

What follows is a visual summary of what Grok answered.

Introduction

Inspired by thinkers like Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill, who emphasized the power of focused thought and divine inspiration, and speakers like Steve Harvey, who often share stories of God planting ideas and guiding paths, this method aligns with the biblical principle from the apostle Paul in Hebrews 8:10 and 10:16, where God promises to put His laws in our hearts and minds under the New Covenant. The core idea is that God can place desires, ideas, and directions within you, but achieving them requires intentional daily practice: asking clearly, aligning your actions, and maintaining discipline against distractions. This method is designed to be simple, actionable, and integrated into your routine, starting small and building consistency.

The Daily Method: Asking God and Achieving Your Desires

Follow these steps every day, ideally in the morning to set your intention and at night for reflection. Begin with 10-15 minutes, and expand as it becomes a habit. The process combines prayer (asking), visualization (receiving the idea), action (pursuing), and discipline (protecting your path).

1. Prepare Your Heart and Mind (2-3 minutes)
   Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Acknowledge God’s presence by saying a simple prayer like: “God, I open my heart and mind to Your guidance. Thank You for the good ideas You place within me.” This step clears mental clutter and invites divine inspiration, echoing Paul’s teaching that God’s laws are inscribed inwardly.
2. Clearly Ask for the Good You Desire (3-5 minutes)
   Be specific about what you want—whether it’s a career goal, improved health, stronger relationships, or personal growth. Speak or write it out as if addressing God directly: “God, I ask for [specific desire, e.g., ‘clarity and success in starting my own business that helps others’]. Plant this idea firmly in my mind and heart, and guide me toward it.”
   Draw from Hill’s idea of “definite purpose”: Make your request positive, aligned with good (not harm), and framed in gratitude, as if it’s already unfolding. If you’re unsure what to ask, start by requesting wisdom: “Show me the desires You’ve placed in me.” Repeat this daily to reinforce the habit of seeking divine direction.
3. Visualize and Affirm Reception (3-5 minutes)
   Imagine the desire as already achieved—see yourself living it, feeling the joy and fulfillment. This mirrors Nightingale’s “strangest secret” that we become what we think about. Affirm it biblically: “As Paul said, Your laws are in my heart; I trust You’re directing my steps (Proverbs 3:5-6).” Write down any ideas, insights, or “nudges” that come to mind during this time—they could be God’s way of responding. Keep a journal to track these over time.
4. Take Aligned Action (Throughout the Day)
   Turn the divine idea into steps. Break your desire into one or two small, achievable tasks for the day, like researching an opportunity or reaching out to a mentor. Act with faith, believing God is opening doors, as Harvey often describes in his talks about “jumping” when God prompts. Review progress at night: “What did I do today to move toward this? What guidance did I sense?”
5. Reflect and Give Thanks (2-3 minutes at Night)
   End your day by thanking God for any progress, ideas, or even challenges that build character. Pray: “Thank You for the good You’ve given and for protecting my path.” This closes the loop, reinforcing the practice and inviting more inspiration.

The Discipline of Denying Temptations and Distractions

A key to achieving your desires is guarding your “primary mission”—the God-given idea or goal you’ve asked for. Temptations often appear as distractions that pull you off course, like procrastination, negative influences, or short-term pleasures that don’t align with your purpose. Hill called this “self-discipline,” and it’s essential for turning divine ideas into reality.

• Identify Distractions: Daily, during your reflection, note what tempts you—social media scrolling, unhealthy habits, doubt-filled thoughts, or people who discourage your path. Ask: “Does this support my God-given desire, or does it derail it?”
• Practice Denial: When a temptation arises, pause and affirm: “This isn’t part of my mission; I deny it in favor of what God has for me.” Replace it with a positive action, like a quick prayer or a step toward your goal. Build this muscle gradually—start by setting boundaries, such as limiting screen time or saying “no” to non-essential commitments.
• Build Resilience: Use scripture for strength, like Paul’s words in Romans 7:22-23 about the inner conflict, but claim victory through the New Covenant. Over time, this discipline creates momentum; as Nightingale taught, persistent focus attracts success. If you slip, forgive yourself and recommit—God’s grace is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Getting Started and Tips for Success

Begin today with just Steps 1-3 if the full method feels overwhelming, then add more. Consistency is key—aim for 21 days to form the habit. Track wins in your journal to stay motivated. Remember, this isn’t about forcing outcomes but partnering with God: Ask boldly, act faithfully, and discipline yourself to receive. As Harvey says, “God didn’t bring you this far to leave you.” With practice, you’ll see ideas bloom into achievements, fulfilling the divine placement in your heart and mind.
