Why Is It A Secret?

Why are principles of the philosophy for success considered secrets? The mastermind discusses this question today and together the participants realize that these straightforward steps to manifesting a dream into reality are secrets because they are not ordinarily identified or practiced.  Studying Napoleon Hill’s work helps open the mind to develop a state of mind that will automatically attract desired results.

Winning Despite Adversity

Today, the mastermind discusses adversity and its role in the journey to success.  Opposition and hardships are absolutely imperative and unavoidable when crusading for a goal or a dream.  The information in Think and Grow Rich and Napoleon Hill’s other studies of highly successful people helps us recognize adversity as a turning point and a seed to success.

Millionaires In Training are the scholars who believe that challenges and contrast are just another mode for creation and opportunity.  These leaders continue to sharpen their discernment skills so that they can identify the glory of adversity sooner rather than later.

MLK’s Mastermind

Did you know that the most famous part of the “I Have a Dream” speech was ad-libbed?  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech was originally intended to be only a few minutes long and had been edited and rewritten by the great leader and his advisors several times.  The March on Washington of ’63 was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement with over 250,000 participants and King wanted to get it right.  When Dr. King’s confidant and motivational source called out to him during the speech he then began to deliver the famous words that have come to life in present day and will live on for years to come.

King’s advisor described the improvisation “as if some cosmic transcendental force came down and occupied his body.”  The force was infinite intelligence invoked by the mastermind of thousands.   The “I Have a Dream” portion of the speech disclosed Dr. King’s depth of vision and hope for future achievement. The famous words came from the ether of a collective consciousness that believed without a shadow of a doubt that the dream of glory would come true…and it did.

Push Through

You follow through on commitments by facing challenges head on and pushing through obstacles that threaten your future. The philosophy for success gives us an awareness of choices that we can make as it relates to accomplishing a goal. Today, leaders speak of practicing the philosophy by remaining focused and realizing what is more important when met with contrast.

The Millionaires In Training display their nobility as they complete jobs that they may not feel like finishing.  All the credit goes to The Law of Success as these leaders truly rely on their knowledge of the information to overcome internal and external struggles and come out victorious.

Reflection Questions:

Am I ready to take action today?

Can I overcome internal struggles today?  Can I overcome distractions from accomplishing my goals?

Keep It Moving

It’s a new day!  You’re a new person and you have created new patterns so that you can come to the new realization of your individual power.  Napoleon Hill suggests that if you use your greatest asset you will have everything you want and have it in abundance.

Having a definite purpose and thinking about it all of the time exercises the mind to attract all opportunity for you to create and succeed.  Pursuing your dreams, goals and desires will give you something to keep moving forward.  Life is not interesting when you do not have goals for which to strive.  Always keep active and keep moving toward an objective.  Hill explains that merely existing is not the way to live.  The author encourages us all to have zest for life by using the power of our thinking to be, do and have whatever we want!

Reflection Questions:

Do I find myself moving forward in my daily activity or thinking about past occurrences?

Once I reach my goal what do I do next? Do I believe it is beneficial to create another objective?

Am I able to think of more goals for myself once I have achieved?

Be the Best Me Today

The time is now! Millionaires In Training are taking charge and carrying out goals that they say they are going to accomplish. It is evident that the mastermind is thinking bigger and dreaming bigger and this evolution is allowing participants to become acquainted with their future selves.  Last week, the leaders of the mastermind performed based on higher standards as a result of their progressive thinking. Today, the leaders’ character is tested.

The leaders have produced what they set out to accomplish but will they continue to move forward to achieve even greater success for themselves?  The Carnegie philosophy encourages its scholars to always strive to be better and do better.  It’s important to remain humble and understand that there is always room for improvement and growth.  This means pushing yourself to get to the next level so that you can create the next victory.

Reflection Questions:

Did I accomplish the goals I set for myself last week? Now what?

Do I feel complacent with my current status or do I feel the urge to do more?

Feel Grrreat!!

Look at Buddy the Elf in this clip. Can you get this excited about your goals, dreams, desires?

Once you have defined your dream you have to feel good when you think about it.  Use your imagination to envision and believe that you already have what you want.  The imagination allows you to create the future in your mind.  Your feelings about your dreams depend on the level of belief that you will absolutely achieve.  This is why you must think about your goals, dreams and desires all of the time.

Today’s high energy and enthusiastic mastermind call showed the amount of joy necessary to go after what we want.  We have not obtained the goal yet, however it is vitally important to choose the thoughts that make us feel good for the purpose of activating the Law of Attraction.

Reflection Questions:

Do I believe that my thinking changes the way I feel?

Why should I feel happy about a goal or dream that I do not have yet?

How do I feel about my goals, dreams, desires?

Dream Freely

It starts with a definite purpose.  In his The Law of Success, Napoleon Hill explains that the number one success principle is to have a definite purpose.  This gives you a purpose and something to focus on and work toward.  While listening to Money Making Secrets Revealed, the importance of a definite purpose is reiterated when the speaker explains that you must have a dream and have a burning desire for its achievement.  Knowing what you want and making the decision to get it is the thought process of a highly successful person.

How do we get started and define our dreams, goals and desires?  We must first develop our ability to dream freely.  This means feeling good about the future that we envision for ourselves.  This means thinking about what we want without fear or doubt.  And, this means thinking about our goals, dreams and desires without the distraction of thinking about our current reality.  At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how big your dream is.  The only thing that matters is feeling good about the goals, dreams and desires that you think about and knowing why you want them.

Reflection Questions:

Do I have a definite purpose?

Am I able to dream freely?

How long can I go without thinking about how I am going to accomplish my dreams?

Observing Martin Luther King, Jr.

Brave, Persistent, Tolerant, Dedicated, Passionate, Trustworthy. These are the qualities of an exceptional leader.   Martin Luther King, Jr. embodied all of these characteristics and much more during a turbulent time in American history.  No matter the obstacle, challenge or resistance King continued to move forward toward realizing his dream for the betterment of humanity.  This magnificent icon practiced every lesson in The Law of Success and the results show in his legacy that still lives on today.

Today, we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. by observing his actions and following his practice as we apply the same principles of leadership to our business.  We have to set our sites on a dream and go after it without fear.  Keep your eyes on the prize and watch the power within realize your definite purpose.

What lessons out of the Law of Success does Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrate?

Living the Dream

The details of what you want should live in your mind.  The more detailed the goal the more you will focus on it and think about it.   The vivid picture that inhabits your mind separates your chief aim from other pipe dreams and ideas that you may have.

The objective is to have a chief aim consume the mind full time.  Once you are at this stage your chief aim will virtually pull you up from your current status.  The close of Level 2 training teaches us that our chief aim will probably evolve and/or change and it is completely natural and acceptable for this to happen.  The point is to have a crystal clear target and focus all mind energy on that target for the purpose of personal growth and increase of power.  Give truth to the saying “Living the Dream” by implanting the chief aim in your mind and watch the power of your frequency activate the force that will have you physically experiencing a comfortable and enjoyable life.

Reflection Questions:

How do I get to the point of thinking about my chief aim all of the time?  What do I have to do?

What is my chief aim right now?
