Mindset Mastery 70 – Deliciously Devious
We usually think of the word “devious” as having a negative connotation. But as Hill exemplifies here, sometimes surprises can be nothing short of wondrous.
Devious Manifestations Of Desire
“Verily, a burning desire has devious ways of transmuting itself into its physical equivalent. Blair desired normal hearing; now he has it! He was born with a handicap which might easily have sent one with a less defined desire to the street with a bundle of pencils and a tin cup. That handicap now promises to serve as the medium by which he will render useful service to many millions of hard of hearing, also, to give him useful employment at adequate financial compensation the remainder of his life.
“The little “white lies” I planted in his mind when he was a child, by leading him to believe his affliction would become a great asset, which he could capitalize, has justified itself. Verily, there is nothing, right or wrong, which belief, plus burning desire, cannot make real. These qualities are free to everyone.
Putting Belief To The Test
“In all my experience in dealing with men and women who had personal problems, I never handled a single case which more definitely demonstrates the power of desire. Authors sometimes make the mistake of writing of subjects of which they have but superficial, or very elementary knowledge. It has been my good fortune to have had the privilege of testing the soundness of the power of desire, through the affliction of my own son. Perhaps it was providential that the experience came as it did, for surely no one is better prepared than he, to serve as an example of what happens when desire is put to the test. If Mother Nature bends to the will of desire, is it logical that mere men can defeat a burning desire?
The Magnificent Mind
“Strange and imponderable is the power of the human mind! We do not understand the method by which it uses every circumstance, every individual, every physical thing within its reach, as a means of transmuting desire into its physical counterpart. Perhaps science will uncover this secret.
“I planted in my son’s mind the desire to hear and to speak as any normal person hears and speaks. That desire has now become a reality. I planted in his mind the desire to convert his greatest handicap into his greatest asset. That desire has been realized. The modus operandi by which this astounding result was achieved is not hard to describe. It consisted of three very definite facts; first, I mixed faith with the desire for normal hearing, which I passed on to my son. Second, I communicated my desire to him in every conceivable way available, through persistent, continuous effort, over a period of years. Third, he believed me!”
Words To Live By
I said it in the last post, and I’ll say it again here. These are words for a New Year; for a new beginning; for a new experience of success and abundance. Take these words—desire, faith, and also, belief—into the New Year with you. Believe in you and your success will follow!

With the wonderful and magical gift of life which we have all been given by our universal creator, comes a blueprint for a very successful and harmonious future. That blueprint could best be described by keywords such as love, faith,honesty,charity,humility forgiveness and so it goes on. When we are children we know these emotions and as we progress through life into adulthood and undergo the “lifes toughening up process”, we begin to forget and lose faith in the system,we begin to think differently about ourselves and other people and life begins to lose it’s simplicity and becomes increasingly difficult. However the blueprint still remains hidden within us and the amazing reality is, we can recall all the positive emotions we were originally given, simply by asking and having the faith that Napoleon Hill brings to light in “Think and Grow Rich”.
