Motivated by this book for over 10 years
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I first read this book about 17 years ago. I joined Amway as a Distributor and we were in Dexter Yeager's group. I know lots has happened with the group, Amway, and ordering of Distributor materials but I have to say that I'm grateful that I was a part of that group because it was then that I was introduced to a way of thinking and being that was so logical to me and made so much sense to me.
Do I still have a copy of Think and Grow Rich? Absolutely! It's in my collection of books that I've kept since I was first introduced to this way of thinking. It was exciting to know that I could change my life by changing the way I think. I had no idea how deeply embedded negative thinking was in my mind. I still to this day catch myself gravitating and being pulled to all the negative things that are happening in my life while fully ignoring all the really great things that are happening in my life.
For example, I live in a wonderful house. It has 3 bedrooms, is spacious for our needs and has a big yard. We have all the necessities, a washing machine, rice cooker, computer, 2 tv's, 2 vcr/dvd players, toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, dishes, food, the list goes on and on. What do I mull over? The leak in our kitchen sink! Fully fretting over it! When the best thing to do is recognize I have a leak and call the plummer on Monday to fix it. In the meantime, be careful with using the sink and then go back to being happy about all the things that I do have and that are nice.
Reading Think and Grow Rich was a catalyst for change in my life. I'm very happy that I read it and I continue to read it...in fact it's the book I'm reading again right now. That's what prompted me to write about it.
You can order the book directly from: The Napoleon Hill Foundation where there is also a workbook offered. I'm not an affiliate (I don't even know if they offer an affiliate program) so I don't make money from it.
You can download it as well for free here: Think and Grow Rich
