Mindset Mastery 35 - Eliminating The Impossible
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.
I will see you back here every Monday and Thursday for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

Let’s also remove the word “naughty” from the dictionary. As I tell my kids, “no-one is naughty, they just need guidance to do the right thing.” I have never called my kids naughty and I never will. They have learnt that word from other people but that won’t stop me teaching them otherwise. Also, when my kids ask me to buy something and I say “no, not this time” and they ask why, I tell them that “I am choosing not to buy that right now” rather than “I cannot afford it” (which is what I grew up believing). Financial education should begin young. (ie I tell this to my 5 & 1/2 year old and my 4 year old. At this stage, my 20 month old is not asking to buy things…hehe).
Best wishes for a fabulous day!

I totally agree, Eileen. “Naughty” is only a perception of the term “un-conformed”. Man, could I get on a tangent about conforming and indoctrination into society! Phew! I fought off the urge
