“I’ve come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.”

“The path to success is to take massive, determined action.”

“It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute… that gives meaning to our lives.”

“Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.”

“You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

“What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”

“You see, it’s never the environment; it’s never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events — how we interpret them — that shapes who we are today and who we’ll become tomorrow.”

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

“Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.”

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”

So tell me, why are you not successful? If things were different, would you be already successful? Is there something in your life that is the main reason for your failure? I bet that you have at least one or more of these alibis. Which one are you hiding behind?

IF I didn’t have a wife and family . . .
IF I had enough “pull” . . .
IF I had money . . .
IF I had a good education . . .
IF I could get a job . . .
IF I had good health . . .
IF I only had time . . .
IF times were better . . .
IF other people understood me . . .
IF conditions around me were only different . . .
IF I could live my life over again . . .
IF I did not fear what “THEY” would say . . .
IF I had been given a chance . . .
IF I now had a chance . . .
IF other people didn’t “have it in for me” . . .
IF nothing happens to stop me . . .
IF I were only younger . . .
IF I could only do what I want . . .
IF I had been born rich . . .
IF I could meet “the right people” . . .
IF I had the talent that some people have . . .
IF I dared assert myself . . .
IF I only had embraced past opportunities . . .
IF people didn’t get on my nerves . . .
IF I didn’t have to keep house and look after the children . . .
IF I could save some money . . .
IF the boss only appreciated me . . .
IF I only had somebody to help me . . .

IF I didn’t have a “past” . . .
IF I only had a business of my own . . .
IF other people would only listen to me . . .
IF * * * and this is the greatest of them all * * * I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me,and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.

Source: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

I am a firm believer in this principle. If you want to succeed in anything you have to give more and do more than what is expected or for what you’re being paid to do… providing you like what it is that you’re doing.

In the book The Law of Success, I found that Napoleon went on the assumption that you are in a job that you like, so going the extra mile and rendering more service would be beneficial to your success at that company.

Most people unfortunately do not like their job and going the extra mile is just not worthwhile unless their goals are to get a better position within the company.

I found personally that I couldn’t relate to going the extra mile at my job because I had no interest in moving up in the company. It wasn’t until I discovered Internet Marketing and joined the military that I found it easy to go above and beyond what people expect of me.

Now I really enjoy helping others and have no expectation of anything in return. It gives me great joy in helping people accomplish their goals (no matter how big or small they are).

Shannon

On page 110 of The Law of Success, Napoleon talked about the curse of poverty. Here’s a snippet of what he said:

… Here is a man who was born of poor parents. Since the first day that he can remember he has seen evidence of poverty. He has hard talk of poverty. He has felt the icy hand of poverty on his shoulders and it has so impressed him that he fixes it in his mind as a curse to which “he must submit”. Quite unconsciously he permits himself to fall victim of the belief “once poor always poor” until that belief becomes the dominating thought of his mind. He resembles a horse that has been harnessed and broken until it forgets that it has the potential power with which to throw off that harness. Auto-suggestion is rapidly relegating him to the back of the stage of life. Finally he becomes a “quitter”. Ambition is gone. Opportunity comes his way no longer, or if it does he has not the vision to see it. He has accepted his FATE! It is a well established fact that the faculties of the mind, like the limbs of the body, atrophy and wither away if not used. self-confidence is no exception. It develops when used but disappears if not used…

This is something that I can fully relate with. After my parent’s divorced when I was around the age of 11, my mother supported both my brother and I. Being a seasonal worker at the local fish plant, she never had a lot of money. Times were hard. I remember when I was so cold in my room that I had to use a hair dryer under my sheets to stay warm.

She did her best though and we managed. We had a roof over our heads and food on the table and that is what matters the most.

Since my humble beginnings I haven’t pushed myself to have more than a paycheck to paycheck existence. Sure, I’ve taken on second jobs, started small businesses, etc, to supplement my income, but never really “going for the gold”. Going about my day being comfortable with my poor existence with the hopes of things getting better. I felt that because of my past, there was no way that I could be rich.

I’ve since realized (thanks to Napoleon Hill) that my past does not dictate my future. I know that I am in full control of my life and have full confidence that I will succeed. This did not come naturally however, I had to work on this confidence. I still have to overcome many self doubts and the fear of what others might think. My poor past created this lack of confidence, but I choose to ignore it. Now-a-days I just shrug off the feeling and just push myself to keep going. I’m less concerned about public opinion as I used to be. I figured if I concentrate on helping others and providing useful information, that is all that truly matters.

-Shannon

“Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.” -Danny Thomas

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Nick Vujicic before. He was born with no arms and no legs, but despite those inflictions he is fully independent. He has a wonderful mental attitude and makes me appreciate just how easy I have things in comparison. We take so many things for granted in our lives, it’s hard sometimes to realize just how lucky we are.

Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find that you have crossed the mountain. -Author Unknown

“It’s too hard” or “it can’t be done” are phrases I hear way too often. Most people when given a difficult problem automatically look at the no-can-do side of the situation. They focus on the things which they have no control or there is no immediate solution rather then taking action on the things they can do something about. Henry Ford was once asked by Napoleon Hill if there was a problem that he could not overcome. Mr. Ford said that he didn’t believe there was. According to Napoleon, Mr Ford said that whenever he if faced with a difficult situation and a solution is not known, the first thing he did was begin working on the things that he can do something about. By the time he reached the spot where there was no solution, the problem would have already been solved or a solution was already developed to resolve the problem.

Take a few minutes to watch this video and remember that no matter how hard things may seem, never give up.
