Magnet of Resources - 1


Review from the book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Dear Thriving Ladies,

The subconscious mind takes any orders given to it in a spirit of absolute faith, and acts upon those orders, although the orders often have to be presented over and over again.

DESIRE is the starting point of all achievement – Napoleon Hill

It is of importance, the way we think about ourselves. Thoughts are things in the realest form of things. Your brain and mind are the same thing, the mind is the psychological term for the brain while the brain is the medical term for the mind. The brain and mind when recognized as one are important.

There are three (3) parts of a human being that can vibrate: your words, your sexual organs, and your thoughts.

We have the power to control our thoughts. Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts that we hold in our minds. By means with which no man is familiar, these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, and the circumstances of life that harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts. When a man really desires something so deeply, that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel to get it, he is sure to win.

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when overtaken by temporary defeat. The greatest success comes just one step beyond the point where defeat overtakes you. We try most times to blame people for our failures. Until a man starts to accept responsibility for his successes or failures, that person will not start moving forward. Life will throw things at you, how you choose to feel depends on you.

I am the master of my fate and captain of my soul – Napoleon Hill

One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average person’s familiarity with the word “impossible.” Opportunities have a sly habit of slipping in by the back door and often come disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat. Success comes to those who become success-conscious. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure-conscious.

Your hunger for success should also birth your hunger for knowledge. Knowledge will not attract money unless it is organized and intelligently directed through practical plans of action. As an individual, you need to understand that there is general knowledge and there's also specialized knowledge. Specialized knowledge is what allows one to go deeper by sourcing ideas in creating wealth for themselves while General knowledge is of little use when attempting to accumulate wealth. The level at which we put our minds to work determines the level of results it produces. As knowledge is acquired, it must be organized and put into use, for a definite purpose, through practical plans. Knowledge has no value except that which can be gained from its application toward some worthy end. Getting knowledge is not enough if you want to get rich, both the implementation of the ideas and knowledge you have acquired is what makes the difference. Make your ideas pay off through specialized knowledge and when you put all these to work, you can be sure that you can have immense wealth.

The greatest form of change for anyone is your mind, the little thoughts, and patterns. The moment you work on it, you can go ahead to be a change agent. When you think about something for so long, it starts to possess you. Your thoughts increase the vibration whether negative or positive. If someone thinks long about being an idiot, he becomes one. Find positive energy to think about yourself all the time, there is something positive about you and you have to keep building these things. You will be amazed at the changes you will make once you start fixing what’s between your ears and mind.

The mind is a powerful tool, whatever you think or imagine and believe is what you get. Autosuggestion is a state of teaching yourself and preparing your mind so that you can achieve whatever you want by visualizing it. When you begin to think and grow rich, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work. Any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed on to the subconscious mind is finally accepted and acted upon by the subconscious mind. Which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent by the most practical procedure available. When riches begin to come, they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding all those lean years.

Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit. You either control your mind or it controls you. There is no hallway compromise. The most practical of all methods for controlling the mind is the habit of keeping it busy with a definite purpose backed by a definite plan. There is no such thing as SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. When a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel to get it, he is sure to win.

Can you imagine yourself a billionaire?

Nothing is impossible to the person who backs desire with enduring faith. Desires backed by faith know no such word as impossible. Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds. Those who are afraid of new ideas are doomed before they start. Success requires no apologies; failure permits no alibis. Faith is a state of mind which may be induced or created by affirmation, or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principle of autosuggestion. You must visualise the money you intend to accumulate. Self-affirmation also helps in this state because you need to consciously and constantly speak your future into existence. Conduct yourself as if you were already in possession of the material thing that you are demanding when you call upon your subconscious mind.

One sound idea is all you need to achieve success. Riches begin in the form of thought. The amount is limited only by the person in whose mind the thought is put into motion. Faith removes limitations. What genius lies asleep in your brain! Somewhere in your makeup, there lies sleeping, the seed of achievement which if aroused and put into action, would carry you to heights such as you may never have hoped to attain. Do not wait for a definite plan, through which you intend to exchange services or merchandise in return for the money you are visualising. Begin at once to see yourself in possession of the exact amount of money that you desire. Demanding and expecting that your subconscious mind will hand over the plan or plans that you need. Be on the alert for these plans, and when they appear, put them into action immediately. See yourself rendering the service or delivering the merchandise you intend to give in return for this money.

Having tried all these principles, if you feel they are not working for you, you must check your location; who are the people you associate with the closest? Are they people that bring you down with the words they speak? It starts with asking yourself what you really want, you can then sift out the right from the wrong. Also, your sexual organ, who you’re involved with. Are you just dissipating your energy everywhere? Do you know that you can use your sexual attractiveness positively?

A lot of us do not get a headway until we sit and ask ourselves the question: what do I really want? A statement closes your mind, and questions open your mind. It comes as a thought, then an imagination, the more you focus on it without thinking much, it becomes a stronghold. If you have a low mindset or image of yourself, the way you approach people will be timid. People will not want to engage with you. In chaos, we see our true selves, we find out who we are, what makes us unique from everyone else

You become what you think about – Nightingale

Seek expert counsel before giving up. 

Success and failure are largely the results of habit.

Every man is what he is because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.

Where and how can you learn the art of converting defeat into stepping stones for an opportunity?

Thank you for reading.
