The Link Between Faith And Success


VISUALIZATION OF, AND BELIEF IN ATTAINMENT OF DESIRE

Have you read the all time classic 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill? Perhaps yes, because it is the Bible to those who want success in their lives. If not, this is the right time for you to learn the secrets of success that Hill has gathered spending more than 25 years and studying at least 2500 top successful people from around the world. So what are those (13) great principles of success? SharedTalks is going to present a summary of this book regularly for 13 weeks. Wait, read and give feedback. Two weeks ago SharedTalks presented the first principal for succes which is Desire. If you missed that click here
Amongst his 13 proved principles of success, Hill presents that faith in what one desires is the second key. Emotions are really important for achieving success. According to him, the emotions of FAITH, LOVE, and SEX are the most powerful of all the major positive emotions.


How To Develop Faith?

Developing faith here is not identical or related with generally understood terms of religious faith. Here, the faith is for the thing what you desire or its attainment. Hill describes that repetition of affirmation of orders to our subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.


A mind dominated by positive emotions, becomes a favorable abode for the state of mind known as faith. A mind so dominated may, at will, give the subconscious mind instructions, which it will accept and act upon immediately. FAITH IS A STATE OF MIND WHICH MAY BE INDUCED BY AUTO-SUGGESTION

Hill believes that the FAITH is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!


Hill says, "Taking inventory of mental assets and liabilities, you will discover that your greatest weakness is lack of self-confidence. This handicap can be surmounted, and timidity translated into courage, through the aid of the principle of autosuggestion.


Normally beople do not get success because they do not believe in it. They just think that the goal is too high for them and so that is unattainable. Which is a real misery.

The law of auto-suggestion, through which any person may rise to altitudes of achievement which stagger the imagination, is well described in the following verse:

“If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
“If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will—
It’s all in the state of mind.

The power of love is also very immense. Hill gives an example of successful author Charles Dickens. Dickens' began by pasting labels on blacking pots. The tragedy of his first love penetrated the depths of his soul, and converted him into one of the world’s truly great authors. That “experience” was mixed with the emotions of sorrow and LOVE. For Abraham lincoln's success also there was a lady behind it- Anne Rutledge, the only woman whom he ever truly loved, but could not marry her.

Next week's post will focus on auto suggestion. Check it out!!
