In Captains Of Our Souls, Napoleon Hill felt that Henley could have done more for us with his quote of inspiration. In addition to telling us that we are our own fateful Masters, and adding to that the fact that we direct our fate in the direction of our thoughts, Hill goes on to prescribe more that he feels we should know.
Magnetized Thoughts
He should have told us, too, that our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds, and, inexplicably, these “magnets” attract to us the forces, the people, the life circumstances, that correspond with our dominating thoughts. In other words, if you feel poor and stepped-on, you will attract people to you of similar character and circumstance; but if you believe you are successful and well-off, those are the people and circumstances that will dominate your interactions and influence your life consequentially.
Magnetize Your Mind For Success
Henley should have told us that before we can accumulate wealth in abundance, we first have to magnetize our minds with intense desire for riches, that we must become “money conscious” until the innate desire for money drives us to create definite plans for acquiring it.
But, because he was a poet and not a philosopher, Henley was content to simply state a great truth poetically, and leave it to those who followed him to interpret the philosophical meaning of his lines.
And so we absolve Henley of responsibility. Thanks to Napoleon Hill, though, we are not left in the lurch. He has so advantageously taken it upon himself to show us the depth of what Henley implies, and to shape our thoughts and desires in the way that will elicit wealth and success, and not the alternative, which could just as easily be. This lays the foundation for the structure of the wealthy mindset and of being rich. It is all so elemental in achieving that life that is simple to acquire in concept, yet elusive to the great majority nonetheless.
I will see you back here every Monday and Friday for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.
In the next part I will talk to you about Revelations.

Hi Sean,
I would like to subscribe to your news letter.
I came to your seminar this weekend but am not ready to join up just yet for a number of reasons.

Hi Sean,
This just reinforces everything I believe and it gives me great hope that I can attract to me everything I want. I love that my brain becomes ‘magnetized’ with the thoughts that dominate my mind. I love that I am attracting people and circumstances that mirror my thoughts.
I work really hard at controlling my thoughts and I understand that the more I can focus my thoughts on what I desire, the sooner I will create this in my life. I don’t always get it right, but I am getting better each day.
Magnetizing your mind – sometimes it feels to me a bit like the chicken-and-hen story. What was there first?
I am magnetizing my minds and my thoughts to achieve my goals. That also means that I read all the relevant books I can get my hands on, search the internet for sources and people that might help me on my way and think about what else I can and need to do all the time. For me that means I am moving towards my goal already. And because my thoughts are all on that one target I see the world different, always with that scanner in there “could that help me? Could she help me? Would that work?”.
And – all of a sudden – I see all the opportunities laid out in front of me. Pulled into my view because of my dominant thoughts. I just love it
