Heres an example:
I, ____________________________________
[ your name here ]
vow never to let past disappointments discourage me any longer. I will not carry past
discouragements into my present thinking. I will not hang on to past judgments,
failures, fears, preconceived notions, and self-doubt any longer. They have no place in
my life any more.
This way of thinking will only hold me back from empowering myself and becoming the
successful individual I want to be. From here on in, I will expect to get the outcomes I
want in life and when I meet with obstacles that stand in the way, I will figure a way
around them and keep my attention focused on the outcome I want and reject the
notion an obstacle has the power to keep me from my goal. I will succeed.

Step Two:
Determine if you are you a River Person or a Goal Person?
There are two types of successful people, the river people and goal people.
A goal person is someone who knows exactly what career path that they want to follow
at a relatively young age. They generally set their sights on their goal early in life. You
often see this with people in the arts, such as actors, musicians, inventors and
innovators. They have a long-term vision for exactly what they want to do and how they
envision their life being once they get there. Bill Gates and Steven Jobs were examples
of goal people.
Are you a goal person? Do you know exactly what you want to do?
Wealth is usually the byproduct of accomplishing something you are
passionate about.
This story addresses a critically important challenge we all face at one time or another in our lives.
You see, at some point we all face that gap between where we are and where we want to be. We
question our ability to get where we want to go, usually because we dont have the confidence to
tackle whats lies ahead.
This story addresses that turning point in our life and that lack of confidence, and unveils the true
capabilities that lie inside all of us. Even if we dont believe we have those capabilities, they are
waiting for us to uncover them.
You see, I felt inferior to other kids because my grades were always poor. I didnt realize
how much my constant moving negatively impacted my education.
I realized the next day that my life had to change. It was a life rife
with discontent. I decided I wanted to go a new direction in life. I
just didnt know how to go about making it happen, or even which
direction I wanted to go.
My brother happened to be living in Chicago and was running a construction crew for
a world-renown personal development publishing company. They had just bought a
new building and were remodeling it. I could use the extra cash, so I asked my
brother to put me to work for a few days, which he did.
The first morning on the job, I asked if I could listen to one of the programs this
company sold while I worked. I always had a Walkman wherever I went. It was that
Walkman that turned out to be a miracle machine for me.
The program I listened to was about self-esteem and self-confidence. I had never
learned anything like this before and the information flipped a switch in me. Up until
then, I didnt have a very high opinion of my abilities. But my desire to create positive
change motivated me in ways I hadnt experienced before. That storm caused me to
change my mind, and that decision was about to change my life.
The manager who hired my brother noticed an energy in me that was admirable,
so he offered me a job in the new manufacturing department, even though I had no
experience in that area.
To make a long story short, I went to work for that reputable 50-year-old company
and excelled at my new job. The programs they sold were teaching me how to
think, how to contribute, how to make the things happen for me that I wanted. It
was like finding a magic genie.
Dont get me wrong, tough challenges faced me constantly. But I never worried
about the challenge; I kept my focus on the result I wanted on the other side of that
challenge.
So, are you a river person or a goal person? If you are a river
person, give plenty of energy and thought toward the kind of life
you want to be living.
Paint a crystal clear vision of how your days will look. What kind
of house will you be living in? What kind of car will you be
driving? How much love will you feel in your heart? Then wait for
your path to pick you.
One must realize that all who have accumulated great fortunes first did a certain
amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, DESIRING, and PLANNING before they
acquired money.
You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities,
UNLESS you can work yourself into a white heat of DESIRE for money, and actually
BELIEVE you will possess it.
You may as well know, also that every great leader, from the dawn of civilization
down to the present, was a dreamer.
Verily, a BURNING DESIRE has devious ways of transmuting itself into its physical
equivalent. Strange and imponderable is the power of the human mind! We do not
understand the method by which it uses every circumstance, every individual, every
physical thing within its reach, as a means of transmuting DESIRE into its physical
counterpart.
Early in her career, Madam Schuman-Heink visited the director of the Vienna Court
Opera, to have him test her voice. But, he did not test it. After taking one look at the
awkward and poorly dressed girl, he exclaimed, none too gently, "With such a face,
and with no personality at all, how can you ever expect to succeed in opera? My
good child, give up the idea. Buy a sewing machine, and go to work. YOU CAN
NEVER BE A SINGER."
Never is a long time! The director of the Vienna Court Opera knew much about the
technique of singing. He knew little about the power of desire, when it assumes the
proportion of an obsession. If he had known more of that power, he would not have
made the mistake of condemning genius without giving it an opportunity.
Several years ago, one of my business associates became ill. He became worse as
time went on, and finally was taken to the hospital for an operation. Just before he was
wheeled into the operating room, I took a look at him, and wondered how anyone as
thin and emaciated as he, could possibly go through a major operation successfully.
The doctor warned me that there was little, if any, chance of my ever seeing him alive
again.
It was not the opinion of the patient. Just before he was wheeled away, he whispered
feebly, "Do not be disturbed, Chief, I will be out of here in a few days." The attending
nurse looked at me with pity. But the patient did come through safely. After it was all
over, his physician said, "Nothing but his own desire to live saved him. He never would
have pulled through if he had not refused to accept the possibility of death."
I believe in the power of DESIRE backed by FAITH, because I have seen this power lift
men from lowly beginnings to places of power and wealth; I have seen it rob the grave
of its victims; I have seen it serve as the medium by which men staged a comeback
after having been defeated in a hundred different ways; I have seen it provide my own
son with a normal, happy, successful life, despite Nature's having sent him into the
world without ears.
All achievement, no matter what may be its nature, or its purpose, must begin with an
intense, BURNING DESIRE for something definite.
Through some strange and powerful principle of "mental chemistry" which she has
never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of STRONG DESIRE "that something"
which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure.
There comes, now, a statement which will give a better understanding of the importance
the principle of auto-suggestion assumes in the transmutation of desire into its physical, or
monetary equivalent; namely: FAITH is a state of mind, which may be induced, or created,
by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principle of
auto-suggestion.
As an illustration, consider the purpose for which you are, presumably, reading this book.
The object is, naturally, to acquire the ability to transmute the intangible thought impulse of
DESIRE into its physical counterpart, money. By following the instructions laid down on
auto-suggestion, and the subconscious mind, you may CONVINCE the subconscious mind
that you believe you will receive that for which you ask, and it will act upon that belief,
which your subconscious mind passes back to you in the form of "FAITH," followed by
definite plans for procuring that which you desire.
The method by which one develops FAITH, where it does not already exist, is extremely
difficult to describe, almost as difficult, in fact, as it would be to describe the color of red to
a blind man who has never seen color, and has nothing with which to compare what you
describe to him.
Faith is a state of mind, which you may develop, at will, after you have mastered all the
other principles, because it is a state of mind which develops voluntarily, through
application and use of these principles. Repetition of affirmation of orders to your
subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of
faith.
Stated in the words of a famous criminologist, "When men first come into contact with
crime, they abhor it. If they remain in contact with crime for a time, they become
accustomed to it, and endure it. If they remain in contact with it long enough, they finally
embrace it, and become influenced by it."
This is the equivalent of saying that any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed on
to the subconscious mind is, finally, accepted and acted upon by the subconscious mind,
which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent, by the most practical
procedure available.
In connection with this, consider again the statement, ALL THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE
BEEN EMOTIONALIZED, (given feeling) AND MIXED WITH FAITH, begin immediately to
translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counter part.
The emotions, or the "feeling" portion of thoughts, are the factors that give thoughts
vitality, life, and action.
The emotions of Faith, Love, and Sex, when mixed with any thought impulse, give it
greater action than any of these emotions can do singly. Not only thought impulses
which have been mixed with FAITH, but also those which have been mixed with any of
the positive emotions, or any of the negative emotions, may reach, and influence the
subconscious mind.
From this statement, you will understand that the subconscious mind will translate into its
physical equivalent, a thought impulse of a negative or destructive nature, just as readily
as it will act upon thought impulses of a positive or constructive nature. This accounts for
the strange phenomenon, which so many millions of people experience, referred to as
"misfortune," or "bad luck."
There are millions of people who BELIEVE themselves "doomed" to poverty and failure,
because of some strange force over which they BELIEVE they have no control. They are
the creators of their own "misfortunes," because of this negative BELIEF, which is picked
up by the subconscious mind, and translated into its physical equivalent.
To make this "deceit" more realistic, conduct yourself just as you would, if you were
ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MATERIAL THING WHICH YOU ARE DEMANDING,
when you call upon your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind will transmute into its
physical equivalent, by the most direct and practical media available, any order which is
given to it in a state of BELIEF, or FAITH that the order will be carried out.
Surely, enough has been stated to give a starting point from which one may, through
experiment and practice, acquire the ability to mix FAITH with any order given to the
subconscious mind.
Perfection will come through practice. It cannot come by merely reading instructions. If it
were true that one may become a criminal by association with crime, (and this is a known
fact), it is equally true that one may develop faith by voluntarily suggesting to the
subconscious mind that one has faith.
The mind comes, finally, to take on the nature of the influences that dominate it. Understand
this truth, and you will know why it is essential for you to encourage the positive emotions
as dominating forces of your mind, and discourage and eliminate negative emotions.
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
All down the ages, the religionists have admonished struggling humanity to "have faith" in
this, that, and the other dogma or creed, but they have failed to tell people HOW to have
faith. They have not stated that "faith is a state of mind, and that it may be induced by self-
suggestion."
Before we begin, you should be reminded again that: FAITH is the "eternal elixir"
which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!
The foregoing sentence is worth reading a second
time, and a third, and a fourth. It is worth reading
aloud!
The proof is simple and easily demonstrated. It is wrapped up in the principle of auto-
suggestion. Let us center our attention, therefore, upon the subject of self-suggestion,
and find out what it is, and what it is capable of achieving.
It is a well-known fact that one comes, finally, to BELIEVE whatever one repeats to one's
self, whether the statement be true or false. If a man repeats a lie over and over, he will
eventually accept the lie as truth. Moreover, he will BELIEVE it to be the truth. Every
man is what he is, because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS, which he permits to
occupy his mind.

Building alibis is a deeply rooted habit. Habits are difficult to break, especially when they
provide justification for something we do.
Plato had this truth in mind when he said, "The first and best victory is to conquer self. To
be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile." Another philosopher
had the same thought in mind when he said, "It was a great surprise to me when I
discovered that most of the ugliness I saw in others, was but a reflection of my own nature
"It has always been a mystery to me," said Elbert Hubbard," why people spend so much
time deliberately fooling themselves by creating alibis to cover their weaknesses. If used
differently, this same time would be sufficient to cure the weak ness, then no alibis would
be needed."
In parting, I would remind you that "Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is
TIME. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped
off the board by TIME. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate
INDECISION!"
Previously you may have had a logical excuse for not having forced Life to come through
with whatever you asked, but that alibi is now obsolete, because you are in possession of
the Master Key that unlocks the door to Life's bountiful riches.
The Master Key is intangible, but it is powerful! It is the privilege of creating, in your own
mind, a BURNING DESIRE for a definite form of riches. There is no penalty for the use of
the Key, but there is a price you must pay if you do not use it.
The price is FAILURE.
There is a reward of stupendous proportions if you put the Key to use. It is the satisfaction
that comes to all who conquer self and force Life to pay whatever is asked. The reward
is worthy of your effort. Will you make the start and be convinced?
Second, decide if you are a river person or goal person. Some people never act
because they are unsure of what career path they truly want to take. Dont let that keep
you from getting started. Visualize how you want to be living life, remain open minded
and pay close attention to opportunities when they come along. When the right one
arrives, you will immediately become passionate about it.
Third, fan the flames of Desire. Build a white-hot flame of desire for the life you want to
be living. Become intensely passionate about what you want out of life and let the world
lay the opportunities at your feet because of that passion.
Fourth, have Faith. Believe you are going to achieve your goals and desires. Expect
them to happen.
Finally, dont make excuses. Excuses are the reasons you wont achieve what you want.
They are tricky and sneak into your mind every chance they get. Dont believe your
excuses; believe in the power of your mind to provide whatever you need to help you
reach your goals.
This e-book is meant to help you get started. Napoleon Hill has 17 Principals for
success. We only covered a few of them.
If you are serious about living a rich and rewarding life, which truly can be yours, then
continue down this path by claiming the life-altering gift "willed" to you by the richest man
in the world.
