Napoleon Hill: Laws of Success (full length)

Enjoy New Thought Movement pioneer, Napoleon Hill’s, full length Laws of Success.

You Have to Believe It to See It!

Do you find much fault in the statement ‘You create your own reality’? If so, you’re not in the minority. Many find it absolutely ludicrous that anyone could presume that they’ve created massive debt, a broken home, a thankless job, or unemployment. But a little exploration will often uncover just the opposite.

The place where attention is focused is exactly where results materialize. It’s completely natural to focus on the things that we want changed. The common mistake is focusing on what is the present reality, instead of what is desired. Admit it, the complaint about how little your paycheck is, or how short your patience really is, or exactly how many bills are due… These are all testimonials to what you are currently seeing, based on previous thoughts. The cycle must be broken.

What’s a person to do? Embrace the “seeing is believing” saying, but with a twist. You have to believe in what you truly want/desire before you will see it show up. Eliminate the doubt, eliminate the negative vibes associated with what is, and dream a little. Take time to dream about a life that’s free of debt, free of complications, and full of prosperity, fulfillment, peace and harmony. Isn’t that a pleasant vision? Close your eyes and think of it for a few minutes. Is your heart lighter, there a smile on your face, your brow smooth from worry? Take a moment to gauge exactly how you feel in this moment. THIS is the present that you created by visualizing your true desired outcome. These are the types of feelings you should be experiencing in order to manifest prosperity, wealth, good health, happiness, a wonderful relationship, etc. Read more

Where You Focus Your Attention Is What You Get!

Cheryl Richardson, a favorite author and fellow coach, has written a new book called Stand Up for Your Life. In this book she talks about how our society tends to “bond over stress instead of success”. I see this in action every day in my own life and in the lives of my clients.

We tend to give each other permission to complain freely- it’s actually become the way we interact with others. It’s OK to compare stresses or say something negative to a total stranger for the sake of opening a conversation and relating to each other. For example, you get in the elevator on a rainy day, “Some storm! Traffic was terrible!” We feel free to talk about what’s wrong with everything from traffic, weather, the kids, the husband/wife, work, the messy house to crowded/late flights.

So what’s wrong with this you might ask? Well, it creates constant whining and complaining if you’re not careful!! While each of these little snippets of conversation seem meaningless, when you look at an entire day it can really add up to a negative outlook on life. With this negative way of thinking it can be hard to believe in our dreams, be truly happy and feel gratitude for our life. Read more
