Dare

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.” – Michael Jackson

Eliminate Limitations to Ensure Success

If you lead an active outdoor life you will think of the September dusk as coming too early and making your evenings shorter. If you spend much of your time indoors you will see them as longer evenings. The hours of darkness are the same for everyone. It is only your perception of them that is different.

No two people see the world in exactly the same way. The art of achieving success in life is to ensure that you see every challenge or opportunity in its most positive light – and this is a great time of year to start doing this.

Many of us are too busy working at earning a living to actually take time out for living fully. What would you choose to do in your life if you could do absolutely anything with no limitations, no prospect of failure and no accountability to anyone?  Individuals usually answer this innocent question with a long list of what they want to do.

It seems to be a natural reaction, eventually with a lot of soul searching people will admit to themselves, and often this is for the first time, what it is that they really want to do”.

This is a painless procedure that seeks to eliminate limitations, ensure success and allow individuals to take personal responsibility for their own lives. It is amazing how liberated one can feel when they realize that they can and should take control of their own lives. Too many just go with the flow and respond to the pressures of what others think they should do. 

This process can change one from ‘victim’ mentality to one of ‘victor’ thinking. And anyone can do it”.

Steps to Stimulate The Subconscious Mind

First: Go into some quiet spot (preferably in bed at night), where you will not be disturbed or interrupted, close your eyes, and repeat aloud, (so you may hear your own words) the written statement of the amount of money you intend to accumulate, the time limit for its accumulation, and a description of the service or merchandise you intend to give in return for the money. As you carry out these instructions, see yourself already in possession of the money.

For Example: Suppose that you intend to accumulate $50,000 by the first January, five years hence, that you intend to give personal services in return for the money, in the capacity of a salesman. Your written statement of your purpose should be similar to following:

“By the first day of January, 20--, I will have in my possession $50,000, which will come to me in various amounts from time to time during the interim.”

“In return for this money I will give the most efficient service of which I am capable, rendering the fullest possible quantity and the best possible quality of service in the capacity of the salesman of …… (Describe the service or merchandise you intend to sell).

“I believe that I will have this money in my possession. My faith is so strong that I can now see this money before my eyes. I can touch it with my hands. It is now awaiting transfer to me at the time, and in the proportion that I deliver the service I intend to render in return for it. I am awaiting a plan by which to accumulate this money, and I will follow that plan, when it is received.”

Second: Repeat this program night and morning until you can see (in your imagination) the money you intend to accumulate.

Third: Place a written copy of your statement where you can see it night and morning, and read it just before retiring and upon arising until it has been memorized.

Creating The Workshop of the Mind

How did visionaries like Napoleon Hill, Alias Howe, Thomas Edison and Walt Disney become so successful? The technique you’re about to learn will answer that question…

But first, have you ever wondered where brilliant ideas come from?How do the world’s most prolific artists, business people, thinkers and inventors get the inspiration for their ideas, creations and achievements? Was it their upbringing? Are they just really lucky? Were they blessed with a gift most  of us can only dream of? Or is there something else at work?

Back in 1937, personal development pioneer Napoleon Hill published ‘Think And Grow Rich’ a book that would soon go on to become one of the most influential publications of ALL time. The book was packed with techniques and instructions on how to develop a wealth mindset, and achieve successbeyond your wildest dreams. Its contents were so powerful that to this day, ‘Think And Grow Rich’ is widely regarded as a benchmark of all other books of its kind. You’ve probably read it yourself.

But there was one particular technique in the book that shocked readers. It was so controversial, in fact, that Hill himself was initially hesitant to even reveal it at all.

That technique was called…

The Invisible Counselors Visualization Exercise

In the book Hill claimed this was his ultimate technique for sourcing skills, ideas and inspiration.

This is how you do it…

Step 1:

Just before going to sleep at night, close your eyes, and see, in your imagination, a group of people seated with you around a Council Table. Remember, you can invite anyone you like to sit at the Council Table.

And when I say anyone, I mean anyone. They could be in another part of the world. They could be celebrities or famous politicians. They could even be alive or dead. Now, not only do you have the opportunity to sit among those you consider to be great, but you can actually dominate the group, by serving as the Chairman. This is what Hill did.

Step  2:

Have a DEFINITIVE PURPOSE for holding these nightly Council Meetings.

Hill explains his definitive purpose was “to rebuild my own character so it would represent a composite of the characters of my imaginary counselors.” Your Definitive Purpose can be ANYTHING you want to change about yourself or your life. Since all this is going on in your mind, your imagination is the only limit!

Step 3:

Call on the Council Members for the knowledge you wish each to contribute.

• The idea here is to start a discussion with these people on any topic of your choice. So if you want to discuss leadership, you could invite
• Abraham Lincoln…
• If you want to discuss financial success, you could bring in Warren Buffet…
• If you’re looking for enlightenment, you could always invite Gandhi…
• If you’re looking  for ideas to grow your business and make your mark on the world, go ahead and call on Richard Branson.
• And if you need some advice on how to improve your life and relationships… maybe ask Oprah a thing or two.

Hill had originally meant for the Invisible Counselors to be an imaginary exercise. You imagine you’re talking to successful people, and you imagine them giving you advice. Nothing much to it right?

But here’s where it gets really interesting. After a few times of trying out the Imaginary Counselors exercise, Hill found it to be more profound, more REAL than he ever thought possible.

He reported that after a while, each of the characters he imagined actually took on a life of their own. For example, he mentions that Abraham Lincoln was always late and never smiled. Hill even recalled an occasion where two counselors in the boardroom actually got into an argument over a topic that left Hill mystified…

And on numerous occasions, the people he had invited would often give him advice and information that he could never have known by himself.

But how was this possible? If all this was just going on inside Hill’s head, how could he be picturing, hearing and learning things outside of his own comprehension? What was going on here? Was Hill really communicating with these people on some other plane of existence? Or did he just have an overactive imagination?

Before you jump to any conclusions, consider this…

Napoleon Hill was not alone.

For centuries, some of the world’s most successful and influential people have reported experiencing similar inexplicable flashes of inspiration.

Miraculously, he’d wake up from these naps not with a headache, but with dozens of new ideas and inspirations for how to proceed with his research.

Interestingly, Edison has been quoted as saying, “Ideas come from space. It’s hard to believe but it’s true. Ideas come from out of space.”

And then there was Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine. You may not know this, but Elias got the inspiration to create the sewing machine from a dream. Here’s how he explains the dream…

“I was in Africa and was being chased by wild cannibals. They caught me and placed me in a huge pot. I kept trying to get out but they kept forcing me back in with spears.”

The spears Howe saw in his dream had holes in the tips. It was this bit of information that gave him the idea for the sewing machine needle.

Walt Disney also had his own unusual method of coming up with powerful ideas.

Whenever he had an idea, Disney would run it through a meticulous 3-step process to guarantee his idea always turned out unique, powerful and feasible.

So what was the first step? Did he analyze market conditions? Study the competition? Plan his budget?

No. He would simply close his eyes, and dream.

All these highly successful people have one thing in common…

They had discovered how to tap into a force beyond the confines of their minds, and draw from it infinite amounts of wisdom, inspirational success.

The Seed of Achievement

"Somewhere in your make-up there lies sleeping, the seed of achievement which, if aroused and put into action, would carry you to heights, such as you may never have hoped to attain. Just as a master musician may cause the most beautiful strains of music to pour forth from the strings of a violin so may you arouse the genius which lies asleep in your brain, and cause it to drive upward to whatever goal you may wish to achieve."

-- Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich
