This week’s lesson is “Learn How to Live Your Own Life”.
“You will never find peace of mind by allowing other people to live your life for you”- Napoleon Hill
There is only one person in this world that can determine your success. This same person can just as easily walk you down the path of destruction incrementally day by day. Of course, this one person is YOU. You are in the driver’s seat of your life. Mapping out your future journey will ensure you reach your destination.
We’ve all heard the stories of people who turn their struggles into a success story. Certain people just don’t take “no” for an answer and continue to persevere until they conquer. These same people seem to thrive when life throws them curve balls.
Olympians, top athletes, and famous actors usually fit this role of tenacity. They don’t act this way because they are elite, they are elite because they act this way.
The simple fact is that these people don’t have anything special about them. They weren’t born with anything different than you. The world’s elite stand out simply because they take action and have a solid belief in themselves. Any temporary stumbling blocks become stepping stones.
What are your stumbling blocks? Are they financial? Mental? Are they stumbling blocks that you’ve created or that others have placed before you? And what are you going to do about them?
Write down the 5 biggest stumbling blocks that are between you and your dreams.
Let’s pretend for a minute that I am going to write you a check for $1 million. In order to cash this check, you must first resolve these 5 stumbling blocks. What action would you take today to ensure these stumbling blocks became solid stepping stones toward that $1 million?
If you are unwilling to let challenges stand in your way, you WILL have million dollar checks waiting to be cashed. Start thinking like a champion and don’t let anything or anyone convince you otherwise!
“When the ties that bind a human mind are broken and a man is introduced to himself- the real self that has no limitations- I fancy that the gates of hell shake with fear and the bells of heaven ring with joy!”
This is a series of posts based on Napoleon Hill’s book, A Year Of Growing Rich. This exercise is all about personal development and wealth creation and is designed to help move you from inspiration to application — putting skills into action to succeed in life!
