A Peak inside
The very first chapter of “Think and Grow Rich”, Mr. Hill goes deep in to the power of thought.
“Men become what they think about”
Ponder on that statement for a little while. Think about your life and where you currently are. Are you achieving the success you want in life? If not, examine the thoughts you have on a daily basis. You can typically find the culprit pretty quickly. Then slowly start replacing those negative thoughts with ones that are goal focused.
Now there is simply no way of stopping thoughts from entering into the mind. Typically, the thoughts will begin to enter, and it is up to you how you handle those thoughts. Here is a simple way, to handle thoughts of doubt, fear, self-loathing or any other negative emotion that enters your brain.
Recognize which thoughts are good and which thoughts are damaging
In most cases each one of us knows exactly the thoughts that cause us the most grief. Whether it’s their job performance, money, love, or any other damaging thought we entertain in our own minds. We also know which thoughts bring us the most joy, peace, and happiness. Focus on the thoughts that make you a better person.
CANCEL THAT!!
Any time you recognize a thought enters your mind say, “Cancel that.” At that point you recognize the bad thought, canceled it, and shifted your focus to something happy and joyful. If you are in public, you may say it under your breath to avoid any confusion if there are people present.
Become the gate keeper of your own mind
Meaning don’t just allow anyone or anything to dump nonsense into your brain. Regulate the things that you consume daily. Start out by cutting down on things like Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram. These apps tend to desensitize our ability to recognize what’s going on in our own mind. They are such a distraction. You don’t need to get rid of them completely but realize our thoughts are influenced by the content we consume.
In Short “Think and Grow Rich” is a fantastic book to help you start implementing principles like: Thought, Faith, Desire, Imagination and so much more that The point is, the framework was built to help you take these teachings and apply them to your own life. As soon as you start to focus on changing your thoughts from all the misfortunes, failed opportunities, mistakes, and fears your actions will begin to change. Your results will also be significantly different.

The book is a personal development and self-help book that teaches the reader how to get rich by using the power of the mind to create wealth. Wattles teaches that everyone can be wealthy and the way that people can do that is by shifting their mindset to create the life they want.

If reading isn’t something that comes naturally to you or you see a 300–400-page book and get overwhelmed, then this is a great book for you. It’s only 100 pages but it is packed with so much gold, your book will look like a wall of graffiti because you will be highlighting and taking so many notes. One of my favorite quotes is:
“No one ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more.” – Wallace Wattles
Don’t Settle For Less
There are so many different experiences in this life that 95% of people don’t ever experience. Like taking those dream vacations, buying the car that you have always wanted or the house that you can see your kids growing up in. Maybe you have always wanted to fly out to the Maldives and rent one of the bungalows that sit over the water with the glass floor, that you can see the fish swimming around as you lay in your bed. Maybe that last one was just me. Whatever you imagine in your head or think about would be nice to do in your lifetime, someone is already doing it. Do you really think that God or who, or whatever created the universe got to pick and choose the people who would enjoy wealth, success and the finer things in life? Here’s a hint. Of course not.
Everyone has the same opportunities to be a part of the top 1% of earners in the world. You may be thinking “if everyone could do it why aren’t there wealthier people in the world?” In the United States alone there are 22 million millionaires. That means 22 million people understand the secret of getting rich and more importantly, staying rich. They believe in themselves and their abilities to make money, they focus on their mindset, and choose to think only about things that will give them the success they want.
Regardless of where you are in your life, whether it be poor or rich, this book is a classic and will bear great fruits.

To really achieve true success in you must take the longer and more difficult road. Do the things that most people are willing to do.

For the most part, people generally try to take short cuts. Maybe once in a while, someone will get lucky and land on a pot of gold. The universe typically has a way of sorting that out. Meaning, they don’t have their success for very long. That is because it was an accident and they don’t possess the knowledge to keep it.
Just remember, The only thing that a short cut will do, is get you to failure quicker.
