Motivation

Monday 22nd Oct 2007

How is it that we can talk about all the things we want... like that promotion at work, selling to that elusive client, or achieving personal relationships that are truly fulfilling? But some of us never seem to get them. Could it be our thoughts are sabotaging our success?

In 1937, after years of interviewing the greatest achievers in the United States, Napoleon Hill developed a new philosophy and provided us with the action steps to obtain what we desire in life. He gave us "Think and Grow Rich", a simple plan for turning dreams into reality. Are you ready to get started towards reaching what you desire? Here is how...

The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. During his research, Hill interviewed an inventor with a burning desire to achieve success. Thomas Edison had over 10,000 failed attempts before finally achieving success with the light bulb. He never gave up on his desire.

Once you have the desire, you have to believe that you can achieve it. It was Hill who said, "What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." That's called FAITH and it is the second step in Hill's philosophy. Like Edison, you must have faith in yourself, faith in what you want, and faith that you will achieve it!

So you have desire and faith... now what? According to Hill, you need to harness the power of your unconscious. How? Through AUTOSUGGESTION, you can actually program your subconscious mind and influence your deepest thoughts. While winners stay focused by getting the deepest part of their minds to go to work for them, losers allow that power to go to waste.

Don't allow yourself to be influenced or distracted by negative thinking, never accept failure as final, but learn how to grow from every setback... stay focused on your dream. Imagine if Edison quit after failed attempt number 9,999, we might still be in the dark.
