Quote of the day – Napoleon Hill: The Formula of Self-Confidence

in #dailyquote6 years ago (edited)

Hey you lovely people. I want to share some morning inspiration with you!

Since many of us (I only speak for myself, though) have sometimes a lack of self-confidence, because we were taught limiting sets of thinking from our parents and from society, like "You're too small for that!", "That's not possible!" or "Are you really sure, you want to do that? I don't believe you will succeed!", here is a more fundamental strategy to increase ones self-confidence, quoted from one of the most famous books on mind-set, success and money ever written: "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

Formula of Self-Confidence

  1. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life, therefore, I demand on myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment; I here and now promise to render such action.
  2. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.
  3. I know through the principle of auto-suggestion any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining its object; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.
  4. I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
  5. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice; therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them and in myself.

I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant and successful person.

Take your time! Realize and imagine your dream and the person you want to be! And start living your own reality of the world you want to see.

Hope this was helpful to you!

Love, Unity & Abundance to yall

A classic.
So many people are aware of, and repeat the mantra of the power of mind. How many though, i wonder, put it into practical application?
Peace.
