Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Exactly one year ago I read the book "Think and Grow Rich," by Napoleon Hill.  I just picked it up again and started looking over the copeous notes I took while reading.  This book truly inspired me and taught me some valuable lessons as well.  Over the next few weeks I'll be discussing excerpts from this famous book.

The first section of this book talks about the power of thought.
 
-"when a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win."

What is YOUR single, all consuming obsession...your "definite major purpose?"  Your persistance with a SINGLE desire will "mow down all opposition" and bring you to what you're seeking.

When I think about this statement it REALLY is true...there are few things I've desired with a burning passion, truly desired in my heart and soul.  A few items on that list include: reaching Eagle Scout, receiving the Vigil Honor in Order of the Arrow, getting straight A's my Junior year of high school (with all honors classes) just to prove that I could, reaching Black Belt in 2 years or less, and growing my first dojo to 100 students in 1 year or less.

Everything I've focused on like a laser beam I've been able to reach.  So I ask you again: What is YOUR single, all consuming obsession?  If you don't care enough about your goal, you won't reach it.

How much do you care about reaching Eagle Scout?

See you at the top!
