Inspired by Chapter 3 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
THE TOUGHEST ELEMENT
To review, the 3 Elements are: Choice, Commitment, and
Action. Yep, ACTION is the tough one.
Relating to Hill’s philosophy and the Law of Attraction
(same thing), the Elements are THOUGHT, DESIRE, and
FAITH – or BELIEF.
In Chapter 2, the Six Steps Hill outlines usually don’t
work for most because they ignore the last sentence
although it’s printed in all CAPS: “AS YOU READ—SEE AND
FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE
MONEY.”
Thoughts alone transmit a mere trickle of energy, and
are not noticed much. Fueled by Powerful, Sustained
EMOTION, the resulting DESIRE shines like a beacon
which cannot be ignored.
For the Law of Attraction to work the way You want, the
Beacon must shine often and with long duration.
But there is one thing that can block You from
RECEIVING back the like vibration from the Universe.
The thing causes You to forget to say Your Self-Talk,
to not speak up on calls, to be poor on follow-up, and
to miss opportunities. It fosters Doubt and Fear.
The thing is LACK of Belief.
BELIEF is a FEELING too. It is what drives You to take
ACTION. Without it, You have no motivation to PERSIST
at anything. You will not “burn the boats”. You will
not Be ALL The Way IN. Belief is automatic – it is FELT
in Your HEART.
You must FEEL as You would had Your Goal ALREADY BEEN
reached! That is why You must practice VISUALIZATION –
SEE and FEEL Your Goal achieved!
FAITH VS. BELIEF
FAITH is KNOWING something without evidence. BELIEF is
KNOWING something WITH evidence. The evidence can be
real, imagined, or implanted through SUGGESTION.
Prior to May 6, 1954 it was widely accepted as
impossible for a human being to run one mile in less
than 4 minutes. Certainly no human had ever been
recorded doing so. Runners had come close – completing
the mile in 4 minutes, and less than 1 second. The myth
was that all “expert” scientists agreed it was
physiologically impossible for a human to break the
4-minute barrier. This myth was promoted by
sportswriters who like even numbers. Virtually all
runners BELIEVED the myth.
One runner, Roger Bannister, had FAITH he could break
the barrier. He ran many races and practiced
constantly, both on the track and in his MIND. Having
run the mile several times in 4:01, he KNEW he could
run just 2 seconds faster. On the above date at Oxford
university, Bannister completed a mile race in 3 min
59.4 sec.
Just 46 days later in Finland, John Landy ran the mile
in 3 min 57.9 sec. Once Bannister broke the myth, 18
have run the sub-4 minute mile, bolstered by the BELIEF
they could, as Evidenced by Bannister and Landy.
Our Core Beliefs are hard-wired in by age 7. In our
first seven years our minds are like sponges, soaking
in all input without question. From age 7 onward we
begin to think abstractly and critically in our
Conscious Minds, but our SUBCONSCIOUS Operating System
filters everything based on our Core Beliefs.
How Strong are Core Beliefs?
They are at the root of many conflicts – including
majors wars.
Witness three men walking through a desert – a Muslim,
a Jew, and a Christian. For many centuries their
ancestors have all worshiped the God of Abraham. These
guys have not mentioned their religious views during
their journey. After walking many miles in the heat,
parched and exhausted, the three arrive at an oasis.
The Muslim cries, “Praise Allah!”
The Jew shouts, “Praise Adonai!” (He believes the name
“Yahweh” is too sacred to be spoken.)
The two are looking at each other crossly when the
Christian cries, “Praise Jesus!”
The other two turn on him and scream, “BLASPHEMER!”
One God – but three names, 3 LABELS – and over these,
much violence has been committed, folks killed, and
cities destroyed.
How Hard IS It to Change a Core Belief?
Very hard! To change Your Core Beliefs means to change
Your IDENTITY – the way You see Yourself in relation to
the world.
It requires a Leap of FAITH and PERSISTENT
AUTO-SUGGESTION.
Summing it up, to ACHIEVE any GOAL:
It must be Your clearly defined, most dominant THOUGHT.
It must be fueled by a Powerful, Positive FIRE in Your
Belly to create a BURNING OBSESSION in Your Heart.
It must be BELIEVED by You beyond ANY Doubt.
If all 3 Elements are present, then the Goal is in Your
“Sweet Spot”. If it’s not in Your Sweet Spot, then find
one that IS!
