As I continue my journey through Facebook, Twitter and a few other marketing resources I am hearing more people talk about the Law of Attraction, the Law of Abundance and the Law of Reciprocity. It’s all well and good preach it, but are we just talking the talk or are we walking the walk.
The three books that I spend every waking minute of the day with me are my Bible, The Master Key System by Charles Haanel and Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill. All three books offer wonderful insight into life, business and the pursuit of peace and freedom and they all have one thing in common when it comes to getting results… ACTION!
The Bible teaches us that faith without ACTION is dead. I know that many have come to believe that the KJV translation “faith without WORKS” has come to mean GOOD DEEDS, but the the Bible also teaches that DEEDS alone are useless in your pursuit of the kingdom. Paul taught “without love, I am nothing.”
In both the Master Key System and the Bible teach us to “seek (take action) first the kingdom” then the “things” will be added.
In “Think and Grow Rich”, Napolean Hill calls us to action in chapter two…
Every human being who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money, wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.
The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, viz:
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 as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).
Return to top
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. Write out 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 intend to accumulate it.
6. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ – SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
Have you ever written out or carried out this plan?
The Master Key System is a book consisting of 24 letters that TELL each and every one of us HOW TO acquire the wealth and freedom we are seeking in life. At the end of each letter, we are called to take action, through strenuous mental exercise, and DO what it SHOWS us to do… again, it’s about taking action.
Procrastination and fear bring about NOTHING and if you do NOTHING you can absolutely GUARANTEE that NOTHING is going to happen.
Here is a perspective that may help you. Take just a moment, sit back in your chair, relax, and close your eyes. Imagine a giant drop of water falling from a clear blue sky… the kind of sky you see on a perfect summer day. As the drop of water falls, imagine it racing through the air as a large, placid, crystal ocean comes into the picture. As the drop of water falls faster, the ocean gets closer and closer and closer until… they impact.
What happens at this very juncture? An effect! The effect is that the drop of water hitting the surface of that ocean has created waves. This even could not have take place without action. The Master Key System teaches that “thought is energy (mind in motion) and that mind is creative.” The only way for the action to continuously take place is for those drops of water to continue to impact that crystal ocean. This is the SAME impact that our MINDS have upon our SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS! Our minds are creative and are always impacting our subconscious to create the very environment that we are living in, right now.
Think long and hard about that. If you are not where you want to be, think differently. Both The Master Key System and Think and Grow Rich TEACH you how to do this!
Effects cannot take place without ACTION! Faith without ACTION is INDEED DEAD!
I don’t think that there is a book (other than the Bible and The Master Key System) that is more relevant to our times than Think and Grow Rich. It’s on my computer, on my desk and in my mp3 player… and I’m always listening to learn more. The more I listen the more things are revealed to me that I can APPLY to bring about the FREEDOM I am seeking.
If you are not using these resources, both the Master Key System and Think and Grow Rich are available online, free of charge through PsiTek.net. I would also recommend picking them up and the local Barnes & Noble. I think I paid $10 for each of them.
If you would like Think and Grow Rich or The Master Key System on MP3, they are both available through my training system (Get Think and Grow Rich Here) and will be available individually, through my main website, later today.
Take action today and MAKE something happen! “Thought is THE SECRET to all attainment – Charles Haanel”
God bless and have a great weekend!
