Words of wisdom from Napoleon Hill


"It is a well known fact that one comes, finally, to BELIEVE whatever one repeats to one's self, whether the statement be true or false. If a man repeats a lie over and over, he will eventually accept the lie as truth. Moreover, he will BELIEVE it to be the truth. Every man is what he is, because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS which he permits to occupy his mind. Thoughts which a man deliberately places in his own mind, and encourages with sympathy, and with which he mixes any one or more of the emotions, constitute the motivating forces, which direct and control his every movement, act, and deed!

A thought "magnetized" with emotion may be compared to a seed which, when planted in fertile soil, germinates, grows, and multiplies itself over and over again, until that which was originally one small seed, becomes countless millions of seeds of the SAME BRAND!"  

Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.  We are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which we pick up and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.  Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate environment, and to build your own life to ORDER. Taking inventory of mental assets and liabilities, you will discover that your greatest weakness is lack of self-confidence. This handicap can be surmounted, and timidity translated into courage.  The application of this principle may be made through a simple arrangement of positive thought impulses stated in writing, memorized, and repeated, until they become a part of the working equipment of the subconscious faculty of your mind."


So, people of this, my fourthworld, imagine what thoughts of fear, poverty, disease, failure, misery; or of prosperity, health, success, and happiness, reproduce.    

Reading Mr. Napoleon Hill's book, the original 1937 version changed my mindset, and helped me through what had the potential of becoming the worst time of my life, ever. Sometimes, when, like Mr. Oscar Wilde once stated "reasoning fails you", turn to the huge ocean of untamed advice freely available from thousands of download book sites on the internet, .... or the bible.
