There can be no richer man than he who has found a labor of love and who is busily engaged in performing it, for labor is the highest form of human expression of desire. Labor is the liaison between the demand and the supply of all human needs, the forerunner of all human progress, the medium by which the imagination of man is given the wings of action. And all labor of love is sanctified because it brings the joy of self-expression to him who performs it.
He who has not learned the blessed art of sharing has not learned the truth path of happiness, for happiness comes only by sharing. And let it be forever remembered that all riches may be embellished and multiplied by the simple process of sharing them where they may serve others and the space one occupies in the hearts of his fellowmen is determined precisely by the service he renders through the form of sharing.
Faith is the connecting link between the conscious mind of man and the great universal reservoir of Infinite Intelligence. It is the fertile soil in the garden of the human mind wherein may be produced all of the riches of life. It is the “eternal elixir” which gives creative power and action to the impulses of thoughts.
The greatest of all forms of happiness comes as the result of hope of achievement of some yet unattained desire. Poor beyond description is the person who cannot look to the future with hope that he will become the person he would like to be, or with the belief that he will attain the objective he has failed to reach in the past.
No man who fears anything is a free man ! Fear is a harbinger of evil, and wherever it appears one may find a cause which must be eliminated before he may become rich in the fuller sense. The seven basic fears which most often appear in the minds of men are the fear of poverty, fear of criticism, fear of ill health, fear of loss of love, fear of the loss of liberty, fear of old age and the fear of death.
Harmony with others begins with one’s self, for it is true, as Shakespeare said, there are benefits available to those who comply with his admonitions, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”
Sound health begins with a “health consciousness” produced by a mind which in terms of health and not in terms of illness, plus temperance of habits in eating and properly balanced physical activities.
All riches, of whatever nature, begin as a state of mind, the one and only thing over which any person has complete, unchallenged right of control. It is highly significant that the Creator provided man with control over nothing except the power to shape his own thoughts and the privilege of fitting them to any pattern of his choice.
Mental attitude is important because it converts the brains into the equivalent of an electro-magnet which attracts the counterpart of one’s dominating thoughts, aims and purposes. It also attracts the counterpart of one’s fears, worries and doubts. A positive mental attitude (PMA) is the starting point of all riches, whether they be riches of a material nature or intangible riches.
This is the 2nd part of “The Twelve Riches Of Life” by Dr Napoleon Hill :
Dr. napoleon Hill revealed to us that you are already in possession of some of the riches – riches of which you may not be conscious. He said that you must firstly recognize that you are a plural personality, although you may regard yourself as a single personality. You and every person consist of at least two distinct personalities, and many of you possesses more.
There is that self which you can recognize when you look into a mirror. That is your physical self. But it is only the house in which your other selves live. In that house there are at least two individuals who are eternally in conflict with each other. One is negative sort of person who thinks and moves and lives in an atmosphere of doubt and fear and poverty and ill health. This negative self expects failure and is seldom disappointed. It dwells on sorry circumstances of life which you want to reject but seem forced to accept – poverty, greed, superstition, fear, doubt, worry, and physical sickness.
Your “other self” is a positive sort of person who thinks in dynamic, affirmative terms of wealth, sound health, love and friendship, personal achievement, creative vision, service to others, and who guides you unerringly to the attainment of these blessings.
It is this self alone which is capable of recognizing and appropriating the Twelve Riches. It is the only self which is capable of receiving the Master-Key to Riches. You have many other priceless assets of which you may not be aware, hidden riches you have neither recognized nor used. Among these is what we might call “vibration centre”, a sort of radio broadcasting and receiving set of exquisite sensitivity, attuned to your fellowmen and the universe around you. This powerful unit projects your thoughts and feelings and receives unending swarms of messages of great importance to your success in living. It is a tireless two-way communication system of infinite capacity.
Your radio station operates automatically and continuously, when you are asleep and when you are awake. And it is under the control at all times of one or the other of your two major personalities – the negative personality or the positive personality.
When your negative personality is in control, your sensitive receivers register only the negative messages of countless negative personalities. Quite naturally, this leads to “what’s the use ?” and “I haven’t got a chance” thinking; perhaps deadly, to faith in yourself and the use of your energies to achieve what you desire. Negative messages received when your negative personality is in control of your receiving station, if accepted and used as a guide, invariably lead to circumstances of life that are the very opposite of what you would choose.
But when your positive personality is in control, it directs to your “action centre” only those stimulating, high energy, optimistic, “I can do it” messages which you can translate into physical equivalents of prosperity, sound health, love, hope, faith, peace of mind and happiness – values of life for which you and all other normal persons are searching. …….to be continue in Rule #1 - The Twelve Riches Of Life : A Positive Mental Attitude……
I’ve read the book of Napoleon Hill , The Twelve Riches Of Life. The author of this material, Napoleon Hill, spent a lifetime learning and writing about the most successful men of the century. Men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie and Charles Schwab. And I think I should share what I’ve read to you since you’ll gain something after read it. This post contains only a few of his discoveries but I think you will find it to have great significance in your own life. However, I’ll make versions of The Twelve Riches Of Life since it’s quite lot to read about. And this is d 1st verse of it.
Dr. Napoleon Hill believes that you have the human urge for the better things in life which is the common desire of all people. You desire economic security which money alone can provide. You may desire an outlet for your talents in order that you may have the joy of creating your own riches. Some seek the easy way to riches, hoping to find it without giving anything in return. Though this too is common desire, Dr. Napoleon Hill had advised that this needs to be modified as there is no such thing as something for nothing in life.
There is but one sure way to riches and that is attained by those who have the Master-key to Riches. This Master-Key is a marvellous device which those who posses it may use to unlock doors to the solutions of their problems.
the traits of personality and character which make enduring friends. It reveals the method by every adversity, every failure, every disappointment, every error of judgement, and every past defeat may be transmuted into riches of priceless value. It kindles anew the dead hopes of all who posses it, and it reveals the formula by which one may “tune in” and draw upon the great reservoir of Infinite Intelligence.
It lifts humble men to positions of power, fame and fortune. It turns back the hands of the clock and renews the spirit of youth for those who have grown old too soon. It provides the method by which you may take full and complete possession of your own mind, thus giving you unchallengeable control over the emotions of the heart and the power of thinking. It bridges the deficiencies of those who have inadequate formal schooling, and puts them substantially on the same plane of opportunity that is enjoyed by those who have a better education.
And lastly, it opens the doors, one by one, to the Twelve Great Riches of Life which will presently be described. Dr. Napoleon Hill said that no man may hear that which he has not the preparation for hearing. The preparation consists of many things, among them sincerity of purpose, humility of heart, a full recognition of the truth that no man knows everything. Are you prepared to accept this Master-Key ? …….to be continue in #2 The Twelve Riches Of Life : Your-Two-Selves……
Hello there. It’s been quite a while I’ve been strayed from the world of blogging… Well actually, lately I’ve been so busy of stuff, yet, no time at peace for writing in this blog.. Keeping myself busy to concentrate my study, biz here (FYI, I’ve been famous here cuz of my biz selling the “kerepek” n cupcakes..hahaha) and my responsibility as the MPP. Act, I’m not so into biz, but then, having trouble n difficulties in the name of “money”, I gain my strength n courage in order to hve a little peace in life, as Dr. Napoleon Hill said.
In The Twelve Riches of Life, Dr. Napoleon Hill believes that u hve the human urge for better things in life which is the common desire of all people. Thus, me as myself, believes I want to have anything that passionate me; money, love, and knowledge.
However, it’s not easy as u think when u need to focus on ur study, ur biz, n ur surrounding at d same time. I’m having difficulties to do all those things. I’m not a robot. I’m juz a simple, ordinary human being, humble to life – like everyone else. Wht makes me stand till now is d courage n supports from my loves one – family n friends – who has been by my side through many of the most important milestones in my life, celebrating with me during happy times, n offering support when times got rough.
N for dat, I really thank them..
Without them, I do not know how’s my life goin on..
I do not know y so sudden I reveal myself to d blog as b4 dis, I juz wnt to make dis blog anonymous – as I wanted to write all d feelings inside me, either d good ones or d not good ones (senang crita blog nie utk tujuan melepaskan geram, mngumpat org len – jgn tiru perbuatan keji ini). But I changed oready. I do not want to do dat anymore. Someone has made me realized dat we shud never mention our anger, displeasure, annoyance towards certain people in any written sources dat anyone can read – especially the blog. N why on Earth we shuldn’t do dat ? d rational – sooner or later, when we dead, we shud left a good legacy, not d other side – u know wht I mean. We shuldn’t leaves behind the anger, when we r dead. Then, how we shud overcome all those feelings..?? We still can write the emotions, but in a paper, then throw it away, leaving nothing that can read by anyone other than ourselves. Another thing, b4 we went 2 sleep, juz simply forgive all the mistakes did by anyone. InsyaAllah, d next day, we’ll live to the fullest happy life.
