This book will help you to become a better person

There are many books which promise to help you achieve success in your life so how do you select the one which will be right for you? The fact that Napoleon Hill was born into poverty but achieved great success as an attorney and journalist, was an advisor to Franklin Roosevelt and a confidant of Andrew Carnegie indicates that he is qualified to advise us. Most of us lack motivation and fizzle out before reaching our goals so this book is made up of a reading for each week of the year to help generate new ideas and to stay focused on the achievement of your goals. Letters by the thousand tell that Hill's writings have been a powerful influence in bringing happiness, health, power and wealth to those who had a sincere, burning desire to achieve their objectives. The only limitation is your own mindset.The reading for week #1, "No One Drifts to Success" points out that you have to discover your purpose in life and make plans to attain it. The person who acts with purpose and a plan attracts opportunities and overcomes the defeats and adversities that will inevitably stand in the way. If you have a strong belief in yourself, in what you are doing and what you want to do, no adversity is too difficult to overcome. Your future is what you make it. Many of us fall at this first hurdle because we have only a vague idea of what we want to do with our life and never get round to laying out the steps by which we intend to reach our goal."Learn How to Live Your Own Life", the theme of week #2, points out that we have control over only one thing - our own mind. If you doubt this read Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" where Frankl noticed that in the concentration camps of World War II it was the men who comforted others, who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest and who offered proof that everything can be taken but one thing - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances. A genius is simply one who has taken full possession of his own mind and has directed it towards objectives of his own choosing, without permitting outside influences to discourage or mislead him. We must refuse to accept defeat and refuse to be part of the vast majority who do little more than eke out a living and experience mostly misery, disappointment and failure. It is all in the mind.Week 3 is on motivating yourself. The accumulation of wealth is just one measure of success. True success is marked by the satisfaction of knowing you have done a job and done it well - that you have achieved the goal you set for yourself. How can you motivate yourself to succeed? You need to develop a burning desire in order to reach the greater goal that you have set for yourself. This will allow you to develop an intensity of purpose which brushes aside obstacles that seemed insurmountable before. All things are possible to the person who thinks they are possible.
