This post concludes the Congressman’s letter. What I find interesting here is how he talks about people needing a book like this because so many are faced with starting anew after years in economic turmoil. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Historical Repetitions

If there is any possible way that you can afford to render so great a service, may I offer the suggestion that you include with every book, one of your Personal Analysis Charts, in order that the purchaser of the book may have the benefit of a complete self-inventory, indicating, as you indicated to me years ago, exactly what is standing in the way of success.

Such a service as this, providing the readers of your book with a complete, unbiased picture of their faults and their virtues, would mean to them the difference between success and failure. The service would be priceless.

Millions of people are now facing the problem of staging a come-back, because of the depression, and I speak from personal experience when I say, I know these earnest people would welcome the opportunity to tell you their problems, and to receive your suggestions for the solution.

Perpetual Wishes

You know the problems of those who face the necessity of beginning all over again. There are thousands of people in America today who would like to know how they can convert ideas into money, people who must start at scratch, without finances, and recoup their losses. If anyone can help them, you can.

If you publish the book, I would like to own the first copy that comes from the press, personally autographed by you.

With best wishes, believe me,
Cordially yours,
JENNINGS RANDOLPH

Principles Worth Repeating

Thousands of people in America, and thousands more across the world, are still in need of such resources. And this timeless classic is one of them. It’s been said many times and is worth repeating again—the principles of success are timeless, ageless, and work as well today as they did back then. Only thankfully now the resource is at the ready, and we do not need to wait for it!

As with quitting in the face of temporary defeat, the human race is all too quick to accept the impossibility of things—particularly, the impossibility of becoming wealthy and successful.

“One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average person’s intimate familiarity with the word “impossible.” People know all the rules that will not work. They know all the things that cannot be done. This book was written for those who seek the rules which have made others successful, and are willing to stake everything on those rules.

Impossible is not a word that fits into the thirteen principles discussed here. In the original version of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill relates this tidbit… “…many years ago I purchased a fine dictionary. The first thing I did with it was to turn to the word “impossible,” and neatly clip it out of the book…” And as he goes on to say, that would be a smart thing for you to do as well.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.

Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.

The object of this book is to help anyone who seeks it to learn the art of changing their minds from failure consciousness to success consciousness.”

Rip Impossible From Your Vocabulary

So like Napoleon Hill, you need to rip the word impossible from your vocabulary, and instead, know only that wealth creation is possible for you—and in the near future, too. You can, for certain, turn your life from one of struggle and stress into a life of comfort and abundance for you, and for all of those important to you.

Economic depressions and recessions, both historical and modern, prove that state-of-mind can make or break a nation’s or a world’s economy. So is the same true for your own personal financial solvency?

“Watch closely; a similar destiny will become yours as soon as you master the principles of this philosophy and begin to follow the instructions for applying those principles. As you think of yourself as secure and successful, your financial status will begin to improve, and everything you touch will begin to transmute itself into an asset for your benefit. Impossible? Not at all! As the age-old saying goes, the rich get richer…and in very large part because they believe that they are rich and successful.”

State Of Mind

You will be whatever you think you will be. If you feel, act, and think that you are poor and downtrodden, that will be your fate. If you are positive and ambitious because you feel, act, and think you are successful and wealthy, that is what you will create as your reality. It is undeniable that state-of-mind is the primary factor separating the rich and successful from the poor and unsuccessful. To go a step further, consider that individual states-of-mind are what comprise those collective states discussed in the last post.

The Darby’s had reached it—the turning point in their financial success. Do you think they made the right decision? We know that if they followed the secret to wealth creation, had a definite purpose based in definite thought, they did. Alas…

“Finally, they decided to quit.

“They sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars and took a train back home. Now, some “junk” men are ignorant, but not this one! He called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer advised that the project had failed because the owners were not familiar with “fault lines.” His calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! And that is exactly where it was found!

“The “Junk” man took millions of dollars in ore from the mine, all because he knew enough to seek expert advice before giving up.

“Most of the money used to buy the machinery was raised through the efforts of R.U. Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives and neighbors, because they had faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, even though it took him years to do so.”

Admirable of Mr. Darby to do so, but what would have been more admirable would have been not throwing up his hands in the face of temporary defeat. If he had followed the principles outlined by Napoleon Hill and in this book, he wouldn’t have. If he’d known the secret to wealth creation, he wouldn’t have.

What About You?

Does any part of this story mirror any cross-roads in your own life? I hope for your sake it does not, but odds are that it does; it seems all of us have been ‘there’ at one point or another. But don’t despair; past failure does not predetermine future failure. You have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and take your new found knowledge from this book, and turn your poorly decided past into great future success and wealth, just as Mr. Darby did.

I will see you back here Monday and Thursday every week for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

My recent post about Dr John Demartini proved very popular. To my surprise, I was pleased to see it move onto page 1 of Google within 24 hours. This is a funny game and boy, do I enjoy it! My wife, Cherie is going to bombard me with Demartini stuff when she gets back from the seminar and I look forward to it.

Year Of The Affiliate

I have been head down and bottom up writing my eBook about internet marketing lately. Actually, it has been many months now. It’s called: Year Of The Affiliate. Finally, about 2 hours ago, I sent out the first message to a few friends about the pending release this weekend. This book has very little to do with Mindset and a lot to do with marketing the Smart Way. I’m giving it a brief mention in here as it is largely a result of my mindset journey of the past 4 years.

Money Isn’t Everything

People say that money isn’t everything and that is very true. It is however a very useful tool to make life more comfortable and enables us to free up much more time to help others. So that is what my inspiration is as an internet marketer.

So, for those of you that enjoy the internet marketing side of things, you can visit my new website: Year Of The Affiliate. There is also a thread on my Wealth Creation Forum about the book.

Have a most outstanding day!
