Success Passage: Old Man Worry by Napoleon Hill

Worry is a form of sustained fear caused by indecision; therefore, it is a state of mind which can be controlled. Kill the Habit of Worry, in all its forms, by reaching a general, blanket Decision that nothing which Life has to offer is worth the price of Worry.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Six: Imagination” by Napoleon Hill

You will see how important is the subject of imagination when you stop to realize that it is the only thing in the world over which you have absolute control. Others may deprive you of your material wealth and cheat you in a thousand ways, but no man can deprive you of the control and use of your imagination. Men may deal with you unfairly, as men often do; they may deprive you of your liberty, but they cannot take from you the privilege of using your imagination as you wish.

The development of Self-confidence starts with the elimination of this demon called fear, which sits upon a man’s shoulder and whispers into his ear, “You can’t do it – you are afraid to try – you are afraid of public opinion – you are afraid that you will fail – you are afraid you have not the ability.” Science has found a deadly weapon with which to put it to flight, and this lesson on Self-confidence has brought you this weapon for use in your battle with the world-old enemy of progress, fear.

Simple Success Key: W.I.N. – What’s Important NOW?

In order to achieve Success in any endeavor, keeping FOCUS is an enormous challenge. That is where “W.I.N.” comes in: “What’s Important Now?” Does what I am doing NOW move me closer to what I want, faster than whatever else I could be doing? If we can honestly answer “yes,” than we are on Focus and should continue the activity. If, on the other hand, our honest answer is “no,” then we need to stop what we are doing and shift gears. We have lost Focus and we need to redirect our attention to “WHAT’S IMPORTANT NOW.”

Free Spiritual Ebook: “The Door of Everything” by Ruby Nelson

The submerged mind is like a sunken treasure chest, chock-full of wonders, waiting for you to discover it and draw it to the surface. For the most part, it lies neglected and untouched even though I have stored within it all my powers, all my wisdom, all the truth in the cosmos, the record of existence, the force that quickens and perfects, the peace that passes understanding, the love that conquers all.

Free Guest Success Ebook: “Opportunity Magnet 101″ by James Barton

We cannot control the breezes of life – the unexpected favourable conditions – but we can make sure that we are in constant readiness to make best use of them. This readiness has various aspects and one of them is detailed knowledge of the safe harbours of life – the destinations where we wish life to lead us. If we seek to profit from circumstances then we have to have a clear vision of what it is that we actually want. Windows of opportunity can be brief so we need the courage and self confidence to act spontaneously when spontaneous action is called for.

Success Key: Drop the “Blame Game”

Playing the “Blame Game,” i.e., assessing blame against others where: 1) the subject of our blame is truly not at fault and/or responsible and/or 2) the real responsibility lies within ourselves, is an absolute death knell to attaining Success and Growth. Successful individuals don’t blame. They accept responsibility for their Thoughts, Feelings, Decisions and Actions. There is huge Power in that – Power that can propel you to Success.

Success Strategy: Leave Your Comfort Zone Behind and Do It Afraid

There is a kind of Fear that lurks within our conscious and subconscious minds that is not natural; and, worse, in the long run, it does us harm. This type of Fear is self-induced, pernicious and irrational. It works in stealth mode and its objective is simple: to keep Change and Growth at bay and keep you locked in your “Comfort Zone.” If you are ever going to advance in life and seek to be, do and have more, you must – necessarily – leave the cozy confines of your Comfort Zone. There is no other way. Period.

Free Success Ebook: “How to Grow Success” by Elizabeth Towne

You must love and think about your work if you are to make a success of it and make it pay. If you are doing work you dislike, you will NOT succeed, and all the treatments in creation can’t make you succeed. Get into line with a work you do love – something in which you can express yourself. A man’s success is measured on the unseen side by the amount of LOVE he feeds his work with; and on the seen side it is measured by money.

Free Success Ebook: “The Secret of Wealth” by Franklyn Hobbs

Wealth is a state of mind – or perhaps, would it be better to say that wealth is created through a state of mind. If you live according to what nature requires, you mill never be poor; if according to the notions of men, you will never be rich. This is especially detrimental to us, that we live, not according to the light of reason, but after the fashion set by others. He who would be poor “Thinks of life as a goblet to be drained instead of a measure to be filled.”

Free Success Ebook Classic: “Acres of Diamonds” by Russell H. Conwell – NEW EDITION!

I say again that the opportunity to get rich, to attain unto great wealth, is here now, within the reach of almost every man and woman who hears me speak tonight, and I mean just what I say. I have come to tell you what in God’s sight I believe to be the truth, and if the years of life have been of any value to me in the attainment of common sense, I know I am right – that the men and women sitting here have within their reach “acres of diamonds,” opportunities to get largely wealthy. I say it is the truth, and I want you to accept it as such; for if you think I have come to simply recite something, then I would better not be here. I have no time to waste in any such talk, but to say the things I believe, and unless some of you get richer for what I am saying tonight my time is wasted.
