“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.”

Once Poor Always Poor

Shannon Cole — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:27:43 +0000

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.

Nick Vujicic Shows His Musical Talents and Gives Inspiring Message

Shannon Cole — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 01:40:37 +0000

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.

The Story of Rocky and Determination by Tony Robbins

Shannon Cole — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 02:51:06 +0000

Tony Robbins, motivational speaker and a good friend of Sylvester Stallone, tells the story of how the movie Rocky hit the big screen. Tony gives an insight into the history of this movie and how Sylvester’s sheer determination alone was the force behind getting this movie into theaters.

If you want to be successful in any undertaking you need to go for it with the same force and determination that Sly did. You just can’t give up at the first sign of resistance or get discouraged because someone disagreed with you. You have to just keep going until you get whatever it is you’re looking to get. Just be sure you actually want the thing you’re trying to get.

The audio clip is just over 9 minutes long and is worth your while to take the time to listen to it.

A Challenge to Life

Shannon Cole — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 02:37:31 +0000

I wanted to share an essay with you that Napoleon Hill wrote in reaction to one of the worst defeat that he experienced in his entire career (his words).

I first heard this essay/poem by Napoleon on the “Your Right to be Rich” audio CD which is a recording of a live seminar he did back in the mid 1950s in Chicago, IL.

This essay, which he called “A Challenge to Life” should be printed out and read daily before you head out in the morning. It is one of the most motivational poems/essays that I have ever read.

A Challenge to Life

Life, you can’t subdue me because I refuse to take your discipline too seriously. When you try to hurt me, I laugh-and the laughter knows no pain. I appreciate your joys wherever I find them; your sorrows neither discourage nor frighten me, for there is laughter in my soul.

Temporary defeat does not make me sad. I simply set music to the words of defeat and turn it into a song. Your tears are not for me, I like laughter much better, and because I like it, I use it as a substitute for grief and sorrow and pain and disappointment.

Life, you are a fickle trickster, don’t deny it. You slipped this emotion of love into my heart so that you might use it as a thorn with which to prick my soul, but I learned to dodge your trap with laughter. You tried to lure me with the desire for gold, but I have fooled you by following the trail which leads to knowledge instead. You induced me to build beautiful friendships, then converted my friends to enemies so you may harden my heart, but I sidestepped your fickleness by laughing off your attempts and selecting new friends in my own way.

You caused men to cheat me at trade so I will become distrustful, but I win again because I possess one precious asset which no man can steal, it is the power to think my own thoughts and to be myself. You threaten me with death, but to me death is nothing worse than a long peaceful sleep, and sleep is the sweetest of human experiences, excepting laughter. You build a fire of hope in my heart, then sprinkle water on the flames, but I can go you one better by rekindling the fire, and I laugh at you once more.

Life, you are licked as far as I’m concerned because you have nothing with which to lure me away from laughter, and you are powerless to scare me into submission. To a life of laughter then, I raise my cup of cheer.

Pick up your copy of Napoleon Hill’s Your Right to be Rich on Amazon. You won’t regret it. Simply amazing.
