I attended a meeting today and a woman there shared her nightly visualization process:  “Everynight before I go to bed I see my family all smiling and happy.  I see harmony with my co-workers and projects coming to successful completion.  I see my check book with the amount of money I want in it.  I do this as the last thing and it becomes what I dream about.  You can control your dreams by what you think about as you drop off.  Make those thoughts of things you want.”

This is very sound advice in line with the visualization process in Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, and in Wallace Wattles The Science of Getting Rich.  It is a good nightly ritual and twice as effective if you repeat the process when you awaken.

Do these things and you will get to that place “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.”

Think And Grow Rich, Finding The Carnegie Wealth Secret

In the authors preface of “Think And Grow Rich” Napoleon Hill states that the Carnegie Wealth Secret appears at least once in every chapter. It is interesting that different successful people who read the book often come up with different answers of what that secret is. Hill goes on to say:

As a final word of preparation, before you begin the first chapter, may I offer one brief suggestion which may provide a clue by which the Carnegie secret may be recognized? It is this–ALL ACHIEVEMENT, ALL EARNED RICHES, HAVE THEIR BEGINNING IN AN IDEA! If you are ready for the secret, you already possess one half of it, therefore, you will readily recognize the other half the moment it reaches your mind.

Something that you can easily pick up in every chapter, and the answer most given as to what the Carnegie Wealth Secret is: “see yourself,” or “visualize. ” See yourself where you want to be even before you are physically there. Napoleon Hill didn’t make it easy, and yet it is there in plain sight.

Just Where Is The Secret Hidden In Think and Grow Rich

Did you pick visualization or a different answer? Have you read “Think And Grow Rich” and come away scratching your head, wondering what the secret was?

What we find is even those successful people who give an answer other than visualization, when questioned, do in fact perform visualization related to their goals. All of them picked up the idea of a goals list and of reviewing it regularly. Many of them say the secret is “Written Goals.” Written goals are certainly important, but it’s what they do with that goals list that matters. When they review it they begin to see the completion of those goals in their minds. So without exception each one performs visualization.

Most highly successful people see their success in their minds before they see it in reality. The kind of success might be wealth, love, sports, but always the most successful “see it” first.

Dennis Waitley is the author of “The Seeds of Greatness” and many other books. He is also a success coach who has coached Astronauts for NASA and athletes for the US Olympic teams. He talks about visualization too. He points out that athletes who visualize perform significantly better than those who don’t and that it is measurable. It is something that you can see benefits from very soon. Another way he puts it is, “do within while you’re without.” I love that.

Napoleon Hill

The Visualization Process In Think and Grow Rich

In chapters 3 and 4 of think and grow rich Hill lays out  a visualization strategy whereby you read a statement of your definite cheif aim in life.   You read it with emotion morning and night.  This is a most effective method of embedding your desires deep in your subconcious mind and activating the law of attraction.  Here are the recordings of chapter 3:

And here is chapter 4.

Think Rich Action Pack

“All achievement, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea!”

Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles

Napoleon Hill ends the author’s preface of Think and Grow Rich with the idea above.  Why?

Wallace Wattles in Chapter 11 of  The Science of Getting Rich says:

“By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.”

If you read Think and Grow Rich you will find a system of cultivating the idea until it becomes a white hot desire and you begin to act on it.

If you read The Science of Getting Rich, likewise you will find techniques to enhance your desire for the idea until you begin to act on it.

What do you do or don’t do with your idea is what causes most people to fail.  How do you nourish the idea and make it come alive, how do you get it to bring the results you want into your life?

Along the way, the desire creates an awareness of things around you that are related to the idea.  This will be things you see, ideas you notice, and other manifestations.  The bottom line is you are noticing and attracting this information.  If you don’t discount it, if you respect your own thoughts and desires – then you will automatically begin to act on it to produce a result.

Unless you are sleepwalking through life you will begin to compare what you are seeing with your new sensitivity to where you are and where you want to go.  This will cause other ideas and other observations and you must pick and choose your way through to your goal.  Some of the ideas will tell you to give up, maybe they’ll tell you to go to the casino and bet your capital – these are the weeds that you must root out of your thinking.  The other ideas, the ones congruent with your desire you continue to cultivate.

So how do you weed out an idea and how do you cultivate one?

Ideas that you want to keep and cultivate you need to write down and review.  Then begin to weave them into your vision, see how they fit in to the direction you want to go and continue with them.  Notice that if they are good ideas but are not with your desired end you should just write them down for possible use later.

Ideas that you don’t want, thoughts such as: “this is a waste of time” you must cast down.  The best way I have found to do this is to just replace them with another thought.  This is a place where some quotes you may know will be useful.

When you find a counter-productive thought replace it.   The thought response to “this is not good enough” might be “I’d rather see a crooked furrow than an un-plowed field.”  After all if this is some new thing you are doing you are not out of the box going to be doing it as well as those who have been in the field for years.  The important thing is to begin, to get something going.

The often given example of if your young child tries to walk for the first time and falls down do you declare, “he’ll never walk” and then buy him a wheel chair.  No, you cheer his effort, you encourage him, and help him whenever he wants to try.  So he tries more and everyday he gets better and better.  It will be the same with you and the thing you are trying to do.

“I’d rather see a crooked furrow than a field un-plowed” -  I’d rather see my child try to walk than just crawl around for his whole life.

Trying leads to the first unstable steps and those lead to walking across from mommy to daddy which leads to running around the house and having the fun of great motion never before possible for that child – and his world opens a little more.

Your trying leads to successful action and the new things you can see from this new range of motion that you have achieved and your world opens a little more.

Your issue in getting to your desired end comes with being shut down by your thoughts.  The same mind that thought the thoughts to get you going can shut you down unless you are cultivating your thoughts all the time.

Norman Vincent Peale

Norman Vincent Peale in “The Power of Positive Thinking” goes deeply into the idea of cultivating your thoughts.  Putting good thoughts in and replacing the dis-empowering thoughts with good ones.  Many may have passed up Peale’s books because of their religious roots.  This is a mistake.  Peale teaches when the bad thoughts come replace with a thought you have ready.  Discouraging thoughts can be replace with: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.”  A Bible quote and if you are a believer a good one to use.  If you are not a believer then find something to encourage you that you can substitute.  Peale himself says that the ideas that he presents in his books will work for Christians and non-Christians alike.  It is The Power of Positive Thinking.

If we cultivate our thoughts this way we can have a huge success crop.  If we fail to do that we just may find ourselves gleaning the left overs in another mans field.

Peale also has a book about visualization, Positive Imaging, which is a gem.  Like Hill and Wattles, Peale teaches you to see your desired results without shooting it down with negative thoughts.  See the vision and cultivate the thoughts it generates.  Then become inspired to action because you will receive actionable ideas.

And so it goes, these are timeless mental technologies that will work for you.  The thing is recognize where your thoughts are coming from and pick the ones with your desired outcome.  Cultivate the thoughts that come with the visions and begin to take action.  Each action will raise you a little higher and you will see a little farther.

See your vision as if it is here now.  Feel the feelings that you will feel when it is real.  Cultivate your thoughts – think the thoughts that serve you.  This will help keep the desire hot until by your actions you receive it.

Self esteem (do you value and love yourself?) is a component of success.  You don’t have to have self esteem to succeed but it helps you have faith in yourself and will help you keep moving forward when you have set a goal.  Self esteem controls to some extent how you feel and if you are using visualization, whether for it’s own sake, or for the law of attraction, self esteem will help you create richer visualizations, visualizations that you can believe because you believe you are worthy of them.

How you value others affects your self esteem.  You can’t just sit in front of a mirror like Stuart Smalley and say over and over, “I like me.”  That’s not it, rather it is more holistic, it involves an appreciation for others, for pets, for the things that you have in your life now as well as for yourself.  It’s been said that you need to love what you have in order to get what you love.  That’s a strange statement but it is true and goes to the judge that sits in everyone’s head.  More on the “judge” in a moment.

Always speak words that show that you care for yourself as well as others.  The words coming from your mouth have great power in your mind and in the minds of others.  The words are suggestions that plant themselves and are responsible for feelings and responses that you have no idea about.  Just a thought there and something can trigger it.  Sure you have a lot of control but sometimes these things come in under the radar.  Your self-esteem will help you deal with these thoughts and emotions so be sure to speak words that always builds it.

As to speaking to others, your own ears hear these words as well.  And while the speech may be directed towards someone else it goes into your mind as well.  There is a great scripture that I believe has everything to do with this: “Judge not lest ye be judged” (Mathew 7:1) .  Your own little judge is sitting in your head and if you apply harsh standards to those around you, your judge is listening and will apply the same standard to you.  This can kill your self esteem so listen to your words and the thoughts in your head and seek moderation, seek to find the good, learn to look for how to make things better and what is already good about them.

So give yourself and everyone a break and don’t be so judgemental.  Learn to build up with your words, learn to inspire, everyone deserves that and you deserve it too.

Many look at Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich as a get rich quick guide.  In fact it has been used by the unscrupulous as a part of their sales pitch to pull people into money making schemes and programs that are less than sound.  For many this may have been their first introduction to Hill and his book and that is unfortunate since these people, having been burned by the business, may put the book down forever, and that is unfortunate.

And yet others take the book, regardless of their experience in the business, and take it to heart and are able to put it’s principals to work and achieve something fine, even great.  Years before Think And Grow Rich Hill had his beginnings writing for magazines, and eventually his own magazine: “Hill’s Golden Rule Magazine”  and “Napoleon Hill’s Magazine.”

Napoleon Hill on Concentrated Action

Some of Hill’s earliest writing in these magazines dealt with the lack of concentrated action, moving from one idea or job to the next without ever fully fleshing out the first.  Thus there is no concentrated effort, little action and no success.  Hill is a big proponent of finishing what you start.  Take your idea and stick with it – don’t jump from one thing to the next simply because the first does not pour out dollars when you first take it up.

“Nearly every man has intellegence enough to create ideas in his mind, but the trouble with most is that those ideas never find expression in action.  The finest locomotive on earth is not worth a shilling nor will it pull a single pound of weight, utill the stored up energy in the steam dome is released by the throttle.

You have energy in that head of yours — every human being does — but you are not releasing it at the throttle of action!  You are not applying it through the principal of concentration to the tasks which if completed, would place you on the list of those who are regarded as successes.”  –Napoleon Hill from  Napoleon Hill’s First Editions

This idea of concentrated action is why Hill and so many success authors talk about writing not only goals, but a short list of what you should do the next day.  It keeps you focused, it keeps you in a state of concentration on the ideas, on the goals, it also facilitates visualization which Napoleon Hill covers in detail in Chapters 3 and 4 of Think and Grow Rich.

Napoleon Hill on Persistence

From Chapter 9 of Think and Grow Rich:

PERSISTENCE is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting DESIRE into its monetary equivalent. The basis of persistence is the POWER OF WILL.

Will-power and desire, when properly combined, make an irresistible pair. Men who accumulate great fortunes are generally known as cold-blooded, and sometimes ruthless. Often they are misunderstood. What they have is will-power, which they mix with persistence, and place back of their desires to insure the attainment of their objectives.

Henry Ford has been generally misunderstood to be ruthless and cold-blooded. This misconception grew out of Ford’s habit of following through in all of his plans with PERSISTENCE.

The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on DESPITE all opposition, until they attain their goal. These few are the Fords, Carnegies, Rockefellers, and Edisons.

Napoleon Hill and Others on Procrastination

This brings us to procrastination.  Procrastination is a form of fear.  Procrastination often results when there is anxiety over something you want to do or need to do.  Wikipedia has this to say:

The psychological causes of procrastination vary greatly, but generally surround issues of anxiety, low sense of self-worth, and a self-defeating mentality^[4]. Procrastinators are also thought to have a lower-than-normal level of conscientiousness, more based on the “dreams and wishes” of perfection or achievement in contrast to a realistic appreciation of their obligations and potential.

Napoleon Hill had this to say about procrastination:

Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.

Persistent action carried out now.  These ideas are two of  the primary keys to success.  W. Clement Stone had a saying:

“Do it now.”

And why not, why not now?  Do we have genuine reasons or are they procrastination and hidden fear?

Napoleon Hill was writing about periodic self examination when he wrote the first quote above.  That if you are jumping around from one thing to the next then you will never put forth the concentrated effort that you need to really put the thing over.  And if you have a good idea and are not going forward with it – with persistence and with belief in it – then perhaps there is some hidden fear that you need to understand that is causing you to procrastinate.

Napoleon Hill’s writings are timeless and remain some of the foremost success liturature that we have.  That the unscrupulous would use it to manipulate those seeking to better their lives is unfortunate but that should not stop us from taking and using Hills literary works for our betterment.

At our Law of Attraction Mastery page you will find the several stages of learning about the law of attraction that will lead to mastery.

Here are three ideas to help your understanding:

1. Visualize your outcome. This could be a thing or the way you’d like a situation to turn out. See it in as much detail as you can. For example if you want a new car sit in it, hear the sound of the tight fitting doors closing, smell the leather of the interior, hear the rich bass from the radio. As you drive feel the acceleration. You get the idea, make as much detail as you can.
2. Give thanks that you have received the object of step one. Feel a deep gratitude and realize that it is yours. Wallace Wattles, in The Science of Getting Rich, says: “by thought the thing is created, by action you receive.” And this brings us to step 3.
3. By action you receive: as you go through your day let the memory of your visualization come into mind, no need for continued meditation, but just let the thought pass through. Soon you’ll also be getting thoughts about the actions you need to take. When these thoughts come take the action, don’t be timid, take the action with confidence.

The law of attraction was popularized by The Secret but you need a book like The Science of Getting Rich to learn the more precise details of it’s use. At the end of the video you will receive information about links to the free E-Book and free Audio-Book of The Science of Getting Rich also in the resources sidebar and the link to a free E-Book of Bob Proctor’s You Were Born Rich.

You will also learn of additional teaching about mastering the law of attraction. You can also visit The Master The Law Of Attraction page and learn more about how to Master The Law of Attraction. These materials will jump-start your use of the law of attraction so that you can truly master it.

Visualize The Life You Want

There is an article on this site about Life Mapping. It’s about your goals in life and creating a vision of those things and of the person you want to be. What you bring to the process now and how you can grow those good things in your life by having objectives. And this is an important process to go through – have a look at the article.

The law of attraction suggests the life mapping process will help you move forward because your focus moves to the places you want to go to rather than something that may be sitting in your path in this moment, or something you see in your path a little way down the road. Life mapping is a tool that can help with the law of attraction because it focuses on where you want to be and sets aside limits.

Keep The Vision Fresh

Can you keep this vision fresh everyday when you look to it? Life mapping helps you formulate the outcomes that you use in your visualization and meditation.

From Vision To Inspiration

Allow your life map inspired vision to take on a life of it’s own. This is inspiration as the vision moves from your thoughts to changing on it’s own. Inspiration happens when there is stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity. Inspiration is divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind.

Life mapping is an essential part of stimulating the mind in the direction you’d like to go. As you are formulating your mind map you need to let go of limits. Recall at one time no one believed that the four minute mile could be broken and now it’s done not just at the college level but also high school. The false belief has been removed and along with it artificial limitations. Clear yourself of such false limitations in order to allow your vision to take form and be truly inspired.

States of Joy

As you unleash visions based on your life mapping just know it’s a perfect day as you begin. You don’t need to know why, only that it is. If you know why – that’s fine – but that it is a perfect day is all you need.

Joy comes from gratitude and appreciation. Can you maintain a state of gratitude, can you appreciate where you are in life or do you just notice the things that aren’t quite right. Often when people make goals they stop there. If you’ve stopped there you have probably just spent a lot of time reviewing everything you don’t like about your life and want to change. I weigh too much, I don’t make enough money, and any number of other items where you don’t feel you measure up to the person you want to be. The danger is two-fold. You are focusing on your problems, you are making a lot of work for yourself. It is important to change this around a bit.

Instead of setting goals by looking at your short comings look out to that perfect day in the future where everything is right in your life. Look out and be grateful that you are that person – can you appreciate that this accomplished person is you? And that accomplished person is grateful for the good things, that person looks back at you and smiles and you see love and feel a connectedness unlike you have known. Make life mapping work for you – go into the vision and reach back to yourself now and share the joy and gratitude. Pass back the good things that you feel and enjoy them now.

Connecting To The Future

In your heart you get the message coming to you. This great accomplished person is connected with you now and loves you in a profound way and appreciates all that you are doing now because your actions have created this perfect day. And as you look to yourself and you look back you experience that moment now, you share the joy with yourself. It is the gratitude and appreciation flowing both ways on the time line that is your life.

Out of this gratitude faith comes and with faith and belief all things are possible. Don’t make yourself do anything, see the vision, see that person who is you on one of what will be many perfect days and this thing that you are considering doing, how does it connect you to this perfect day, does it have a connection, is it something that will help take you there? The joy of this perfect day and the activity you are considering, aren’t they really one? Can you do the activity with the gratitude of the person you are on that perfect day looking back and giving thanks that you did the things that are necessary to get there? It is you today who has built that life – can you enjoy that now?

And when you need some encouragement can you look out to that person, smile, and reconnect to that bond – that energy between the two of you?

Connecting To Your Past

Your life is a wheel and you sit in the hub, look down any spoke and see yourself past, present, and future. Look back the other direction from that perfect day and see the kid back there. Was he struggling or was it good. Smile back at that little person and communicate the good to him. Let him know that he is valuable and important and thank him for all he is doing – it is important and even if he has made some mistakes you’ve learned from them and he has set the foundation of your success. Go back to him often and help him see those things that he may not be aware of that will move him in the direction he needs to go.

Life mapping can help you connect with your visions in a way that will inspire you. As it does reach back and connect with that part of you in the past that also wanted to achieve and succeed. Pass some of that joy back to him and can you see that he will pass it back forward to you now and increase the joy, and resolution, and drive that is within you? Your bad memories will clear and the joyful memories will take their place, new heights of possibility and achievement will overtake you. Life mapping with the visualization that empowers the law of attraction will take you to new levels of joy, empowerment, gratitude, action and success.

Begin with the end in mind.
–Stephen Covey

If you begin with the end in mind it means you must see the outcome, you must visualize it. Wattles says:

The thought of a house of a certain construction, if it were impressed upon Formless Substance, might not cause the instant formation, of the house; but it would cause the turning of creative energies already working in trade and commerce into such channels as to result in the speedy building of the house.

Visualization is in every chapter of The Science of Getting Rich. If you visualize across as many of your senses as you can and with emotion then you are doing it right. It maybe you have only a foggy picture when you begin and it might be a little difficult to keep forefront. This is a good beginning accept it, be patient and over a short time it will crystallize and be real for you.

This is a place where many fall by the wayside they give up their vision during this gestation time.

Wattles talks over and over about holding a thought in the formless substance – visualizing, and the substance produces the thing.

A thought, in this substance, Produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.

Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

Follow that with another of Wattle’s tenants and you are home:

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.

Thought and personal action combined will bring you the things you visualize. It is not important when you begin that you know what action to take, the visualization will get you wired into that part.

An element that is important to work into your visualizations at the beginning is the feeling of gratitude. There is an entire chapter in The Science of Getting Rich about gratitude. I’ll embed it here and you can listen to it when you are ready.

Gratitude is important in connecting you to the force of faith a main driving energy which will bring your vision into your life. Can you see the thing and be thankful for it? Can you be grateful regardless of appearances? Perhaps the poet says it best:

If you can dream, but not make dreams your master,
If you can think, but not make thoughts your aim
If you can meet with triumph and disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute,
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Then yours is the world, and all that’s in it,
And, which is more, you’ll be a man my son.

–Rudyard Kipling

Fill up the place you are in, keep the dream (your vision), but the dream is not your master you are the master of your dream, and the world will be yours.

Think and Grow Rich is probably the most famous, and most read motavational book of all time. Chapter 3 is called ‘Faith: Visualization Of, And Belief In Attainment Of Desire.’ How about that title?  Is that your definition of faith? If not where did your definition come from – better be sure? 

If we check The Bible will we find another definition? How about this one:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” –Hebrews 11:1

Doesn’t that say the same thing?

We’ve been talking about “The Science of Getting Rich” on these posts, In the chapter 5 “Increasing Life,” Wattles says:

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.

Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thng he thinks about to be created.

And Chapter 12, Efficent Action:

By continuous contemplation you will get the picture of what you want, even to the smallest details, so firmly fixed upon your mind, and so completely transferred to the mind of Formless Substance, that in your working hours you need only to mentally refer to the picture to stimulate your faith and purpose, and cause your best effort to be put forth. Contemplate your picture in your leisure hours until your consciousness is so full of it that you can grasp it instantly. You will become so enthused with its bright promises that the mere thought of it will call forth the strongest energies of your whole being.

In our post on the law of attraction we told the story of Conrad Hilton and the old picture of the great hotel he wanted to own that he looked at the picture and visualized even when he was tramping around Texas.

The message is the same, see the thing, be grateful for it already.  How can you be grateful if you don’t keep the thing in mind?

Write your goals down, keep them with you, look at them all the time.

Many of the Masters of Achievement are fond of talking about a study of Harvard graduates who wrote their goals down. Those graduates were the most wildly succuessful of all the ones in the study. That study turns out to be an urgan legend. There is an interesting article about it over at www.SidSavara.com. Sid researched and couldn’t find the study. But! Sid found another study, another researcher who had been frustrated by the search for the Harvard study and unable to find it did do their own goal research and found that written goals work as the mystery study had stated.

Written goals are a way of rekindling your vision when it fades from mind. Whether it is a picture of something you want to own, like Hilton, or a list of things that you have carefully decided on it’s all about holding the vision in the unformed substance.  Written goals help you do this.  Today the concept of a “Vision Board” is popular, it is another and perhaps more powerful way of writing your goals.  Post pictures on the wall of the things you want.  Look at them in faith and with gratitude (Hills chapter 3 will help you and so will his chapter 4 on autosuggestion).

Back to “Think And Grow Rich,” Napoleon Hill is saying the same thing as Wallace Wattles.  Both men use the same truths to present to you a blueprint for your future.  As we have also seen the philosophy is consistant with Biblical scripture.  If I were a scholar of the Koran, the Bagvagita, or other sacred texts I have no doubt that we would find support there for the concepts as well.  The ideas are universal and the practice belongs in your life.

I’ll be starting a podcast on this site to go along with the “Science Of Getting Rich” recordings.  Part of the first podcasts will be recordings of chapters 3 and 4 of “Think And Grow Rich.”  These are powerful chapters to add to your arsenel of success.  To be sure you get them, and the new podcast when it comes, download theRealMikeGriffin.com toolbar or watch for us on ITunes and subscribe.
