Think and Grow Rich – Chapter 4
Auto-Suggestion
The word 'SUCCESS' is written 90 times in 'Think and Grow Rich' and a further 56 times as a derivative word like 'SUCCESSFUL'...
A Google search reports about 2.82 billion results...
The Latin word, 'SUCCESSUS', translates to 'an outcome'...
Roget's 21st Century Thesaurus, Third Edition, suggests 'UNHAPPINESS' as a word with an opposite meaning to 'SUCCESS'... thus... I choose to focus on 'HAPPINESS'...
Thomas Van wrote a blog in 2013 entitled, 'Your Why Has To Do More Than Make You Cry' in which he posted an image from the Real Buddhist which reads, A man asked Lord Buddha, "I want happiness." Lord Buddha said first remove "I" that's ego. Then remove "Want" that's desire. See now you are left with only "Happiness"...
In my Chapter 1 lesson, I posted about what I had learnt from chapter 16 of Noah St John's book, 'Power Habits'...
On this Monday's Leadership Skills call, Nathan mentioned John C Maxwell's new book, 'Change Your World'... before the call had ended, I had added this book to my Audible library and I'm already half way through having John Maxwell read it to me... all very current and inspiring...
You just never know in advance what will catch your imagination... what you can do, is remember where to spend your valuable time... so... when you are not here at 'Mentoring for Free' on the live calls, remember, these calls are recorded...
Thank you to all for being on this call today...
