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.

Success Key: The Most Wonderful (Stressful) Time of the Year

We create our stress. The External Factors, which we blame as the cause of our stress, are NOT our stress, nor do they create our stress. The Factors just are – they are merely external events and circumstances. Stress is nothing more than our internal response to those External Factors – how we perceive them, what we say about them internally, how we respond (or react) emotionally, our behavior towards them, and, of course, our physical (bodily) response to those External Factors. As such, in order to reduce and/or eliminate our experience of stress, we MUST start (and end) with ourselves: our own Mental State.

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.

Free Success Ebook: Eight Pillars of Prosperity by James Allen

Moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure for ever, and all the works of man which endure are built upon them.

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.

Success Key 32: “The Master Mind” by Napoleon Hill

Out of organized effort comes power, and the process of organization begins, always, in the mind of some one individual – an individual who organizes the faculties of his or her own mind and then gathers other minds around and teaches them how to organize themselves and how to do team work. What remarkable strength is shown by the person who can lay aside personal prejudices and work without friction with a group of individuals with whom he or she is not in accord on many subjects.

You are entitled to every good thing. Therefore expect nothing but good. Defeat does not need to follow victory. You don’t have to “knock wood” every time you congratulate yourself that things have been going well with you. Victory should follow victory. No limitation rests upon you. So don’t let any enter your life. Everything that is involved in supply is a thing of thought. Now reach out, stretch your mind, try to comprehend unlimited thought, unlimited supply. THINK: Success begets Success.

Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle. It is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law. “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive. This means that what man images, sooner or later externalizes in his affairs.

Free Success Ebook: “Joy Philosophy” by Elizabeth Towne – Free Download!

You will smile, and your solar center will expand and let in more God-feeling, more power and wisdom, than you have ever had before.

Success Key 28: Bob Proctor’s First Speaking Engagement – Don’t QUIT!

Sometimes no matter how bleak it may look, the best alternative is to stay the course. One must evaluate the alternatives and make the best decision based on the facts. Yet, one must also keep in mind that the greatest successes, the biggest wins, do NOT come easy. There must be sacrifice, and the more ambitious the goal, the greater the sacrifice. That is why most people quit along the way. That is why not everyone is incredibly wealthy – it simply takes too much commitment and sacrifice to achieve that level of Success.

Free Success Ebook: “Creative Mind and Success” by Ernest S. Holmes – Free Download!

It is not so easy for most to see how it is that thought governs their conditions and decides whether they are to be successes or failures. But, if our conditions are not controlled by thought, by what, then, are they controlled? Some will say that conditions are controlled by circumstances. But what are circumstances? Are they “cause” or are they “effect?” Of course they are always effect; everything that we see is an effect. An effect is something that follows a cause, and we are dealing with causation only; effects do not make themselves, but they are held in place by mind, or causation.

Free Success Ebook: “How to Get What You Want” by Orison Swett Marden – Free Download!

The reason why so many people fail to realize their ideals is that they are not willing to do their part to make it real. Remember that the longing, the desire to do a certain thing, is merely sowing the seed of your ambition. If you stop at this you will get about as much harvest as the farmer would get if he put his seed in the ground without preparing the soil, without fertilizing it and keeping the weeds down. You must back up that which your heart longs to realize with an honest purpose to do your best, a dead-in-earnest effort to make your vision real. The mere holding of the desire to do so, no matter how persistently or strongly you hold it, will not help you to realize your dreams.
