Success Passage: Old Man Worry by Napoleon Hill
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 one’s 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. 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.
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.”
Success Passage: Your Source of Power by Napoleon Hill
Your mind is your own and your state of mind is something you can control completely. You are the sole supervisor of its reactions to every circumstance which affects your life.

Learn to close the door of your mind and shut out negative reactions if you wish to find peace of mind and prosperity.
Free Success Ebook: “The Human Machine” by Arnold Bennett (6th Ed. 1913) – Free Download
It has never struck you that you possess a machine? That machine is yourself – you are the most fascinating bit of machinery that ever was. But no scientific sustained attention is yet given to the real business of living, of smooth intercourse, of self-expression, of conscious adaptation to environment – in brief, to the study of this machine. Considering that we have to spend the whole of our lives in this human machine, considering that it is our sole means of contact and compromise with the rest of the world, we really do devote to it very little attention.
Success Key: “Transformation” – A Look Back
Our lives are a compilation of our experiences of events, circumstances, conditions and the people around us. We have been endowed by our Creator with the ability to choose HOW we experience each of those experiences. Therefore, at every moment, we have the ability and freedom – known as “free will” – to CHOOSE how we experience this grand thing called LIFE. Nobody decides our experience for us, unless, of course, we choose to voluntarily give them control (victim consciousness). That, my friends, is the Real Power of TRANSFORMATION.
