Dear readers,

It's been really interesting this week reading THINK AND GROW RICH again.

You know, you and I...we just don't live in the kind of place the champions the true way of thinking that frees us to do anything we put our mind to.

They laugh when we talk about our dreams.

We cry when there seems to be no way to reach them.

Some die with the music still in them.

But, not you. No, not me.

Let's see what we can learn from ole' Napoleon Hill in this timeless book.

Shall we?!

​

Much love,

--Josh

Ford and the V-8 Engine

Henry Ford wanted the V-8 Motor. "It's impossible," his engineers told him.

And, they were right, for the most part.

It hadn't been invented yet.

And, nothing like it ever had.

And, there was nothing out there to say it WAS possible.

Six months.

Another six months.

(I could say that nothing happened for a year, but, what DID happen were numerous moments of discovering what didn't work.)

Then...you guessed it. The V-8 engine block was invented.

What about you? What about in your lives?

Care to fancy some delectable adventuring and go out on a limb here and just, maybe, entertain the thought that your life could be drastically different and limitless. Perhaps...

Don't you think you're worth it?

It's worth some effort to find out?!

Some Notes from Chapter 1 First, Then Commentary After

I've documented some thoughts for you from chapter 1 of "Think and Grow Rich." I'll throw them in here then comment in greater detail in the next section.

• This book teaches about how to gain wealth, but so much more. How to prosper in any category in life.

• Money = Options. When you create enough value to have enough money coming in, you increase your ability to do what you want. To give. To roam. To build.
• Thoughts are things and they fuel everything. So, be careful about what thoughts you let linger on your stage.
• Opportunity for you may not come in the form you are expecting. In fact, it might be dressed in overalls and look like work. (We've got Edison to thank for that quote.)
• Wealth, riches, prosperity all begins with, you guessed it, THE RIGHT THINKING. So, what does that tell you? What does that plant into the seed of cognative activity for you? What comes to mind when you think about "the right thinking?" Wait, what does that even mean? (...hint: keep reading.)
• Learn the state of mind that attracts abundance. So...

• Usually, people tend to know all the ways it won't work. What about looking for or inventing or brainstorming about all the ways it could or will work. Hmph...did you see that coming?
• Seek to know the rules of the possible. (I know. You'll have to just figure this one out.)
• Success comes to those who are success conscious. LOVE THIS ONE. Check this out:
  • If you focus on failure, guess what you get more of...
  • If you focus on success...uh huh, uh huh...success. Amazing, right?! It's like magic, (but it's not because magic, is only real according to Mr. Disney.)

• So, therefore, a change from failure ridden to success abundant is a change of:
  • Focus
  • Thought
  • Even Environment

Are you feeling it yet? Didn't a small ray of hope just jut out from the sky into that breathing and beating chest of yours.

I know, these things that reveal themselves as total and pure truth just zap you sometimes.

You know what that means. I means to keep it, hold it, as long as you can and put yourself in places where it starts to rain down that way, more and more until you're drenched in nothing but success and abundance.

• Hey, I'm sorry here but, this came right from the book so I'm obligated to pass this along. I'm going to have to give you some bad news. Your perspectives, opinions, impressions, assumptions, perceptions, ideas, the way you think, the way you react, thinking patterns might not actually be the best. (Don't unsubscribe now...give me a second here.)
• Be open minded, growth minded, flexible, humble even and realize that you might have more to learn (like me) and that you might not see something quite correct (like me...you know...I'm colorblind...maybe you didn't know.)

Do you believe this statement?

Apply The Principles of Success, Don't Just Hang Them On Your Wall Or Make A Trophy Out Of Them

So, there you go.

Apply determination and empowerment now that you know all of this stuff.

You just read (skimmed) through some things that most people never, ever latch onto, let alone, implement.

How about you?!

What kind are you?

Let's talk about a few things here before we wrap this week up.

Repeat after me, "I Reader, promise to do my best to do my duty:

• to make a short list of 3 things I'll do after reading this newsletter...
• to believe that I can begin to think differently and better by focusing on success...
• to never give up on improving my thoughts, mind, beliefs, and life, forever, ever more.

There, you are destined for greatness and I believe that you are headed in an amazing direction.

Because, you are the master of your fate and captain of your soul.
