We need to write down your chief aim.

It will mean a loss you can ill afford if you fail to grasp the real reason for establishing a definite chief aim in your mind. There principles are: First, every voluntary movement of the human body is caused, controlled, and directed by thought, through the operation of mind. Second, The presence of  any thought or idea in your consciousness tends to produce an associated feeling and urge you to transform that feeling into appropriate muscular action that is perfect harmony with the nature of thought. Example. A definite purpose as your life's work and make up your mind that you will carry out that purpose. From the very moment you make this choice, this purpose becomes the dominating thought in your consciousness, and you are constantly on the alert for facts, information, and knowledge with which to achieve that purpose. From the time that you plant a definite purpose in your mind, your mind begins,both consciously and unconsciously, to gather and store the material with ...

Smart man vs wise man.

"A smart man makes a mistake and learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid that mistake."

Great Fortunes of the world.

The great fortunes of the world have been accumulated through the use of this principle of allied effort. What one individual can accomplish single handedly, during an entire lifetime, is but meager at best, no matter how well organized that individual may be, but what one person may accomplish through the principle of alliance with others is practically without limitation. In your struggle for success you should constantly keep in mind the necessity of knowing what it is that you want of knowing precisely what your purpose is. At the same time, keep in mind the value of the principle of organized effort in the attainment of whatever it is that constitutes your definite purpose. In a vague sort of way nearly everyone has a definite purpose the for money. But this is not a definite purpose. Before your purpose could be considered definite, even through that purpose were the accumulation of money, you would have to reach a decision as to the precise method through which you inten...

Purpose

No undesirable environment is strong enough to hold the man or woman who understands how to apply the principle of autosuggestion in the creation of a definite chief aim. Such a person can throw off the shackles of poverty; destroy the most deadly disease germs; rise from lowly station in life to power and plenty. All great leaders base their leadership on a definite chief aim followers are willing followers when they know their leader is a person with a definite aim who has the courage to back up that purpose with action. Even a balky horse knows when a driver with a definite chief aim takes hold of the reigns, and it yields to that driver. When a person with a definite chief aim starts through a crowd everybody stands aside and makes a way for them. But let that person hesitate and show by their actions that they are not sure which way they want to go, and the crowd will step all over their toes and refuse to budge an inch out of the way. Nowhere is the lack of definite chief aim...

Do not "Tell" the world what you can do "Show" it!

It is most appalling to know that 95% of the people of the world are drifting aimlessly through life, without the slightest concept of the work for which they are best fitted and with no concept whatsoever of even the need for such a thing as a definite objective toward which to strive. No position in life can be secure, and no achievement can be permanent unless built upon truth and justice. Any definite chief aim that is deliberately fixed in the mind and held there, with the firm determination to realize it, finally saturates the entire subconscious mind until it automatically influences the physical action of the body toward the attainment of that purpose. Your definite chief aim in life should be selected with the deliberate care, and after it has been selected it should be written out and placed where you will see it at least once a day. The psychological effect of this is to impress this purpose upon your subconscious mind so strongly that it accepts the purpose as a...

Alliances

There are 3 outstanding powers in the world of organized effort. The Churches, Schools, and The newspaper. Power is organized effort, and has already been stated. And success is based upon power. A good encyclopedia contains most of the known facts of the world, but they are as useless as sand dunes until organized and expressed in terms of action. Analyze yourself One of the most startling facts bought to light by those 16,000 analyses say the discovery that the 95% who were classed as failures were in that class because the they had no definite chief aim in life while the 5% of successful ones not only had purpose that were definite but they also had definite plans for the attainment of their purposes. Another important fact disclosed by these analyses was that 95% constituting the failures were engaged in work they did not like, while the 5% constituting the successful ones were doing what they liked best. It is doubtful whether a person could be a fai...

What is Mastermind?

A mastermind is not simply teamwork. People can work together on a team simply because they like the leader, or because they are paid to. But in a mastermind alliance each member must be passionately committed to the same goals. Success is the development of the power with which to get whatever one wants in life without interfering with the rights of others. I lay particular stress on the word power because it is inseparably related to success. We are living in a world and during an age of intense competition. and the law of the survival of the fittest is everywhere in evidence.Because of this, all who would enjoy enduring success must go about its attainment through the use of power. And what is power? Power is organized energy or effort. A losing race without blaming your loss on someone else, you have bright prospects of success further down the road in life. Short Story about a man and seven sons who were always quarreling among themselves. one day he called them all ...

A Definite Chief Aim

The best rose bush, after all, is not that which has the fewest torn, but that which bears, the finest roses. - Henry Van Dyke You can do it if you believe you can! Singleness of purpose is essential for success, no matter what way be one's idea of the definition of success. Yet singleness of purpose is also a quality of which may, and generally does, call for thought on many allied subjects. You should be engaged in the business of training for success in the battle of life. To win there are many factors that must have attention. A well organized, alert , and energetic is produced by various and sundry stimuli. It should be remembered, however, that just as the physical body, to be properly developed, calls for many forms of systematic exercise, the mind also requires, for its development, a variety of exercise. Humility is a forerunner of success! Until we become humble in our own hearts, we are not appropriate to profit greatly by the experiences and thoughts of othe...

Innovation is in finding the right highway.

Who said it could not be done? and what great victories has he to his credit which qualify him to judge others accurately. A mastermind may be developed by a friendly alliance, in a spirit of harmony of purpose, between two or more minds. No two or more minds ever met without creating, out of that contact, another mind, but this creation is not always a master mind. There may be, and altogether too often there is, developed out of the meeting of two or more minds a negative power which is just the opposite of a mastermind. Ability to bring people together is the chief outstanding quality of leadership. "An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding and it is not found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself." -Robert Louis Stevenson The most effective alliances, which have resulted in the creation of the principle known as the master mind, have been those developed out of the blending of the minds of men and women. The reason for this is that the minds ...

We need the truth not commendation

Seek the counsel of those who will tell you the truth about yourself, Even if it hurts you to hear it. Mere commendation will not bring the improvement you need

The Meaning of Education

Misconception about the word EDUCATE Dictionaries have not aided in the elimination of this misunderstanding, because they have defined the word educate as an act of imparting knowledge. The word educate has its roots in the latin word educo, which means to develop from within; to draw out; to grow through the law of use Nature hates idleness in all its forms. Tie up an arm, or any other portion of the body taking out of use, and the idle part will soon be lifeless. Reverse the order, give an arm more than normal use, such as that engaged in by the blacksmith who wields a heavy hammer all day long, and that arm grows strong. Organized Knowledge in Action Power grows out of organized knowledge. But mind you, it grows out of it only through the application of use. Some of the best educated people the world has known possessed much less general knowledge than some who gave been known as fools. The difference between the two being that the former put into use wh...

Knowledge and Power

Think how much difficult it must be to harmonize a group of minds so they will function as one, In an orderly manner through a Master Mind. The leader who successfully develops and directs the energies of a Mastermind must possess tact,patience,persistence,self confidence,intimate knowledge of mind chemistry and the ability to adapt (in a state of perfect poise and harmony) to quickly changing circumstances, without showing the least sign of annoyance. The successful Leader must have the ability to change the color of the mind to fit every circumstances that arises in connection with the object of leadership. Moreover , he or she must have the ability to change from one mood to another without showing the slightest signs of anger or lack of self-control. Without this ability no leader can be powerful and without power no leader can Endure.

Unless you grasp this principle and learn to apply it, this lesson is useless

The lack of harmony is the first and often the last and only cause of Failure!

Don't Feel sorry for yourself.

A man is half whipped the minute he begins to feel sorry for himself or to spin an alibi with which he would explain away his defects.

Shut up and listen.

We truly grow more by listening than talking. Smart Reasons You Should Talk Less and Listen More 1. Knowledge is power. In fact, in our information-driven world, how much you know makes more difference to your long-term success than how much money you have or almost anything else. A person who's talking is giving away information--often more than he or she intended. A person who's listening is receiving information. Who gets the best deal in that exchange? 2. You won't reveal anything you'll later regret. If you don't share a piece of information today, you can always share it tomorrow. Conversely, if you do share a piece of information today, you can never take it back again.  3. You won't say anything dumb. Abraham Lincoln said, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." 4. When you do speak, people will listen. Who do you listen to more closely--someone who neve...

Is Failure a Blessing?

Why Failure Is A Blessing In Disguise? It is the idea that to be successful you have to re-train yourself to see failure as necessary and beneficial to your progress. “ Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. ” (Henry Ford) Success and Failure are part and parcel of Life. One Cannot succeed without failure. If you are fearful of failure you will never take any risk in life and if you don't take risk, you wont be successful.

Price you must pay

Old Man's worry

Worry is a state of mind based upon fear. It works slowly, but persistently. It is insidious and subtle. Step by step it “digs itself in” until it paralyzes ones reasoning faculty, destroys self-confidence and initiative. Worry is a form of sustained fear caused by indecision therefore it is a state of mind which can be controlled. -Napoleon Hill
