"The Secret" (Hit DVD & Book) in "Think and Grow Rich"

Napoleon Hill, author of the best selling books, "Think and Grow Rich" and "Law of Success" spent over 25 years studying and writing on the habits of the richest, most successful people in the country.  In his book, "Think and Grow Rich" he repeatedly talks about "the secret," the concept and title of the new hit DVD and book, "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.  The following is an excerpt from his book, "Think and Grow Rich" and a popular method for setting and achieving goals of any size, techniques also used in "The Secret."

See and Feel Money in Your Hands

You were instructed, in the last of the six steps described in chapter 3 on desire, to read aloud twice aily the written statement of your desire for money.  You were also irected to see and feel youself already in possession of the money.  By following these instructions, you communicate the object of your desire irectly to your subconscious mind ina spirit of absolute faith.  Through repetition of this procedure, you will create thought habits that reinforce your efforts to transmute esire into its monetary equivalent.

Read these steps again, very carefully, before you proceed further.

1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire.  It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money."  Be definite about the amount.

2. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire.  (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

3. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

4. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

5. Now write it out.  Write a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you attend to accumulate it.

6. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily.  Read it once just before retiring at night, and read it once after arising in the morning.  As you read, see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

...Your subconscious mind recognizes and acts only upon thoughts that have been well mixed with emotion or feeling.

This method for manifesting specific amounts of money can be used to set and achieve virtually any kind of goal or desire.  The method incorporates several other highly effective techniques for manifesting desires:  visualization, affirmations (written and aloud), and the timing of your practice right before and right after sleeping, reaches the subconscious mind efficiently and effectively.  For more help using this method, see the "Visualization - ..." and "Affirmations - ..."
