THE ONE TIP TO EXPERIENCE YOUR LIFE'S DESIRE..!!

THINGS ARE NEVER AS THEY FIRST APPEAR!!!!!




In what all the New Age Nerds who follow my blog readily know by now, my favorite book of all time is THINK AND GROW RICH by my Hero Napoleon Hill.  For the uninitiated, the book was written just after the Great Depression.   And it came about all because of two great visionaries.  One, of course, was Napoleon Hill.  The other was Dale Carnegie.   Napoleon Hill had a burning desire to understand the secrets of self actualization.  He had seen many self made men profit even during the worst economic times this world has even seen.  He also saw many men take their own life after they fell into financial ruin.  So after seeking sage advice from one of the greatest self made men in history, Mr. Dale Carnegie, they decided to team up like a modern day Batman and Robin and use their combined resources to try and discover the FORMULA for becoming successful in life!

Mr. Carnegie, with unlimited financial resources and personal connections to many of the worlds greatest self made men, actually paid Napoleon Hill to make it his life's mission to interview such luminaries as Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, etc. to see if he could find a common denominator to what  it takes to create an abundance of whatever you DESIRE in this lifetime.

And from this dynamic duo's decades long endeavor came many books, the most famous being THINK AND GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill.    And if you have never read it, stop reading this post IMMEDIATELY and go pick yourself up a copy.  Seriously....   I'm a patient fellow....I'll wait...  ;0)

Throughout the book, Hill references THE SECRET that every self made man has used without fail as the blueprint to becoming successful and obtaining anything they DESIRED in life.  He promises that he will NEVER mention this secret outright anywhere in the book.  For he believes it is much more powerful if it is discovered by each reader.  As you might imagine, the exact answer to what this SECRET may be has caused many of the world's brightest minds to come to a finite answer!

And as you may imagine, there are a myriad of possible answers that have been debated over the past 70 years as to WHAT THIS SECRET that Napoleon Hill discusses in his book may be and goes so far as to say that it is purposely mentioned in EVERY CHAPTER OF THE BOOK!  I'm quite sure, though never his intention, it has driven more than one erudite mind many sleepless nights trying to uncover this hidden message within this tome.

Here are just a few of the answers I have come across while trying to uncover this puzzle within an amalgam worthy of Indiana Jones himself:

1.  There is NO secret.

2. The secret is that you have your own free will to choose whatever you want in life. Napoleon Hill focuses very strongly on this concept, especially in his other works. In his classic, “Outwitting The Devil”, he explains that most men are drifters, and never firmly decide what they want out of life. I like this explanation, but I believe the real secret is a little more abstract than that… 

3.  This concept lies just below the surface of “The Law of Success” and “Think…” and in fact Napoleon Hill tells the reader that it will jump out at you. He describes to the reader that the moment it will jump out and the reader must stop and ponder the full effect. If you haven’t experienced this epiphany yet, than you haven’t experienced “the secret”. The concept takes a lot more thought than one might think, however. Here’s why…

The golden rule states to “do unto others as you would wish upon yourself”. If you extrapolate upon every avenue that this statement suggests in the book, you will become rich in all forms and ventures in life, including but not limited to wealth, happiness, peace, love (sex) and richness of life.

4.To quote Napoleon Hill:

"There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, the knowledge of what one wants, and a BURNING DESIRE to possess it.

The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of SIX DEFINITE, PRACTICAL STEPS, viz: 

First. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).

Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.)

Third. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ-SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

"It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph. You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a BURNING DESIRE will come to your aid. If you truly DESIRE money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you CONVINCE yourself you will have it."

The list goes on and on and on.....and on....LOL......

And one of the greatest aspects that I believe with all my soul that was SO BRILLIANT of Napoleon Hill was to NOT out and out give us the answer to THIS SO CALLED SECRET!

Before you call me crazy (Which would be just fine with me...because BEING outta your mind is one of the BEST places you can BE) let me explain.   I choose to believe that there are many paths back to the LIGHT from which we call came.  The transformative book A COURSE IN MIRACLES says so much!  And that book was channeled to be from the words and thoughts of Jesus the Christ himself!  So to my humble understanding, it makes perfect sense that there would NOT be ONE singular SECRET!!  Doesn't it?!?!     

I think that the Secret Napoleon Hill was referencing actually has more to do with accessing and harnessing the Power of the You-niverse.   And why would that NOT make sense.  We are all a unique emanation of all of Infinite Intelligence!   Yet, we are each but a drop in makeup of the ocean in all its greatness!  

So after reading and re-reading this book many times, the answer to this SECRET is the following.  ACTION.  ACTION.  ACTION.!!!!!    Did I mention ACTION?!?!   LOL

The SECRET is that we are delivered the plans and points of proper direction that we must take once we commit to manifesting any burning DESIRE only once we show the YOU-niverse that we are willing to commit to having it!!  

The YOU-niverse is NOT our own personal wishing well.   It is a well oiled mechanism that is more than willing (in fact it derives joy) from seeing us putting our DREAMS INTO ACTION!!  It even makes our life easier once we decide to stop drifting and make tangible action plans toward our DESIRES!!!  

The hidden secret in Think and grow rich is “YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MOST OF THE TIME or “Thoughts become things, because everything we create first in our minds. If you decide about a goal and begin thinking about it it all the time, you will plant your goal in your subconscious mind, when the goal is planted in your subconscious mind, you will start to believe that you can achieve your goal, when you believe in your subconscious mind, your subconscious mind will give you plans on how to reach your goal!!  I can't even begin to describe how many times in my life I have just started moving in the direction of what I am trying to achieve and I begin to become deluged with signs, hunches, ideas, and alternate plans that seem to come from all areas!  And I have a distinct feeling that many of you have had very similar experiences!!  Am I right?!?   ;0)

 I have witnessed this way too many times to not believe with all my heart and soul that while this may NOT BE THE ONLY SECRET, it is at least ONE of the many ways toward bringing a wealth of health, joy, peace, happiness, and love into our lives!!  

So if there is something that you truly desire to manifest into your earthly experience, just start moving toward that goal with the smallest of steps, and let the YOU-niverse to show you the rest of the way...........
