Manifest success with positive thoughts


In Napoleon Hill's book 'Think and Grow Rich' he tells the story of Edwin C Barnes, partner of Thomas Edison. Edwin started out as just a boy with a dream to work with Edison, not just a dream a burning desire Napoleon notes. When Edwin first decided this, he had two problems, no money and he did not know Edison. Edwin being the determined man that he was took a freight train to East Orange, New Jersey and presented himself to Edison. He told Edison he was there to go into business with him and Edison noted his air of determination. He gave Edwin a job sweeping floors, which he gladly took. He used the time to learn everything he could about Edison and held fast to his determination and belief that he would be Edison's partner. One day an opportunity presented itself with Edison's new invention the Dictating Machine. Edison's sales team were less than enthusiastic about the machine and did believe it could be sold. Edwin listened and new he could sell the machine and told Edison as much. He got the chance and sold it so successfully that Edison have him a contract to distribute and market it. The business alliance proved to be a long lasting and fruitful operation that made Edwin rich.

Edwin never wavered in his thought that he would be Edison's partner. He willed it and saw it and brought it to fruition. He kept his mind free of negative thinking believing only in the positive outcome of being Edison's partner. Napoleon notes that he proved you can "Think and Grow Rich" This is true of many successful people over the years. They believed they could, and they did. They didn't let setbacks or slow starts deter them from their goal and neither did Edwin Barnes. Believe you will do what you want and never give that up and you will succeed.

Think your way to success. Do you want that promotion? Believe it is yours and go get it. Do you want to own your own business? See it before you as fact and watch positive forces attract success. You are only limited by your own mind. Your will and determination can dictate your outcomes and lead you to success. It seems so simple. Could it really be that easy? It isn't easy! You must hold fast to the believe it will happen even through the slow starts and setbacks. Never lose focus. That can be hard in the face of perceived failure. See every setback or failure as a way to learn and you will grow from that.

Keep your mind on your goal and believe in positive things. Your mindset can change your future. Are you ready?
