Vintage Essays By Judy Williamson, Director of the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at Purdue University Calumnet

Dear Readers,

This summer the Napoleon Hill Foundation will be releasing a new book entitled Wishes Won’t Bring Riches. This book is composed of a series of writings that Napoleon Hill first wrote during the 1940s and is the third book in the Mental Dynamite series. If you haven’t already, I urge you to read the first two books in this series, The Path to Personal Power and How to Own Your Own Mind. These books will truly help you in your journey to success.

Wishes Won’t Bring Riches focuses on the following success principles: Organized Individual Endeavor, Applied Faith, and Enthusiasm.

Organized Individual Endeavor is one principle that is absolutely necessary if you want to achieve anything worthwhile in life. Napoleon Hill often told his readers that the starting point of all achievement is a definite major purpose. Once you have a definite purpose, it takes specifically organized plans and action to obtain the desires you want from life.

Applied Faith is another principle mentioned in our new book. In Napoleon Hill’s classic book Think and Grow Rich, Applied Faith is the second step in the journey to success. It is as the head chemist of the mind and is the belief that a given desire can be obtained. To Napoleon Hill, Applied Faith was a state of mind that could be induced or created by affirmations or repetition of instructions to the subconscious mind.

Lastly, if organized individual endeavor and applied faith are mixed in the appropriate quantities, the result is Enthusiasm. When Dr. Hill spoke and wrote about Enthusiasm, he meant controlled enthusiasm. Enthusiasm and excitement are beneficial, but you must learn how to direct that excitement to the realization of your definite major purpose.

Wishes Won’t Bring Riches is available on Amazon as a pre-order and will be released in July.

 

I wish you the best,
Don Green

The Law of Success

 

How I Discovered Evidence of the Power
of Infinite Intelligence

by Napoleon Hill

I invite you to share with me a stupendous fortune; a fortune which I had been accumulating over a long period of years without knowing that I possessed it.

The strangest feature of these riches which I wish to share with you is the fact that I can profit most by sharing them with others!

I began, unconsciously, to accumulate this wealth when I entered the oldest of all colleges — the college of adversity.

During the “business depression” I took a postgraduate course in this college. It was then that I uncovered my hidden fortune. I made the discovery one morning when notice came that my bank had closed its doors, possibly never again to be opened, for it was then that I began to take inventory of intangible and unused assets.

Come with me while I describe what the inventory disclosed.

Let us begin with the most important item on the list: Faith!

When I looked into my own heart I found that, despite my financial loss, I had left an abundance of Faith in Infinite Intelligence and in my fellow men. Along with this discovery came another of greater importance, the discovery that with Faith one can accomplish that which not all the money in the world can achieve.

When I was possessed of all the money I needed, I made the grievous error of believing money to be a permanent source of power. Now came the astonishing revelation that money, without Faith, is but so much inert matter, and of itself possessed of no power whatsoever.

Realizing, perhaps for the first time in my life, the stupendous power of enduring Faith, I analyzed myself very carefully to determine just how much of this form of riches I possessed.

I began by taking a walk into the woods. I wanted to get away from the crowd, away from the noise of the city, away from the disturbances of “civilization,” so I could meditate and think.

On my journey I picked up an acorn and held it in the palm of my hand. I found it at the roots of a giant oak tree from which it had fallen. I judged the age of the tree to be so great that it must have been a fair-sized tree when George Washington was a small boy.

As I stood there looking at that great tree, and its small embryonic offspring which I held in my hand, I realized that the tree had grown from a small acorn. I realized, too, that all the men living on the earth could not together build a tree like that one. I was conscious of the fact that some form of intangible intelligence had caused the acorn, from which the tree had sprung, to germinate and grow.

I picked up a handful of black soil and covered the acorn with it. I now held in my hand the equivalent of the visible portion of the sum and substance out of which that magnificent tree had grown. I could see and feel the soil and the acorn, but I could neither see nor feel the intelligence which had created a great tree out of these simple substances. But I had faith that such intelligence existed. Moreover, I knew it to be a form of intelligence such as no living being possessed.

At the root of the giant oak I plucked a fern. Its leaves were beautifully designed— yes, designed— and I realized as I looked at the fern that it, too, was created by the same intelligence which had produced the oak tree.

Life’s Shopping List
by Jim Stovall

In today’s fast-paced society, we all find ourselves often facing the dilemma of having more tasks to complete than there are hours in the day. People have adopted all manner of tools to assist them in getting as much done as possible. There are fancy calendars, “to-do” lists, priority sheets, computerized day planners, and Palm Pilots, just to mention a few. While all of these may be helpful in their own way as we navigate through the daily struggle between problems and priorities, there is a much more important issue to be addressed: Do you have a system of priorities for your life?

Unfortunately, when we do not have firmly established priorities, we are controlled by people who do.

We would not think of going to the grocery store without a shopping list, lest we come home without some critical item; but few of us have a shopping list for life. We know all of the things we want to get done today or even this week, but we haven’t taken the time to think about real long-term priorities

You can complete every task on your list every day, but if you don’t have your priorities in place for your life, you will not succeed in really making a difference in the world. Having life-long priorities will enable you to take control of your daily schedule, because you will be able to judge each activity in light of how it will affect your overall priorities. Unfortunately, when we do not have firmly established priorities, we are controlled by people who do. People will call upon you repeatedly throughout the day for various tasks, missions, contributions, etc. While these may be worthwhile, they are really furthering someone else’s life priorities. Until you have your own priorities firmly established, you will fall victim to all manner of detours along the way

I would highly recommend that—if you do not have your life’s shopping list prepared—you squeeze into your daily calendar a specific time to consider all of the possibilities that lie before you. Life offers unlimited menu selections. There are no right or wrong answers. The only mistake is to not make a selection. If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you ever know when you get there? People who don’t make a choice are no better off than people who don’t have a choice.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you ever know when you get there? People who don’t make a choice are no better off than people who don’t have a choice.

All of our lives will be busy, and we will all end up somewhere. Why not dedicate a portion of your daily activities toward reaching your own destiny?

Today’s the day!

WISHES WON’T BRING RICHES

by Napoleon Hill

In this lost classic, the pioneering motivational coach teaches how to make the crucial leap from faith to action in bringing your dreams to life.

Believe in yourself…Have faith. We often hear these expressions. But faith is not enough. We need Applied Faith. In three hard-hitting chapters, motivational master Napoleon Hill teaches you how to transform belief to action, and faith into real-life plans.

Application. Enthusiasm. Action. These are the three keys required to do more than just “believe in yourself”–but to actually BE the person you want to be.

Wishes Won’t Bring Riches provides you with the missing link necessary to go from visualizing your dreams to living them.

The Path to Personal Power

by Napoleon Hill

This true lost manuscript from the “grandfather of self-help,” Napoleon Hill provides timeless wisdom on how to attain a more successful and wealthy life using simple principles.

Napoleon Hill first wrote The Path to Personal Power in 1941, intending it as a handbook for people lifting themselves out of the Great Depression. But upon the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entrance into World War II, these lessons were put aside and largely forgotten–until today.

Discovered in the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, this never-before-published work is made up of three easily digested lessons, each its own chapter: Definiteness of Purpose; the Master Mind; and Going the Extra Mile.

This concise book is a powerful road map that leads to a single discovery–you already have the power to attain whatever wealth, success, and prosperity you desire in life. All you need to do is walk the path without straying, and the rest will follow.

Using these lessons, you have principles to live by that will help you stay on your own personal path to power, and achieve success that you never thought possible.
