I seriously doubt that any man can avail himself of the benefits of his “other self” as long as he is steeped in greed and avarice, envy and fear, I hear my elderly members arguing about…“The Church is not following Baptist Doctrine, Blah Blah Blah Money this Money that…. ETC”

Lastly, remember that your dominating thoughts attract, through a definite law of nature, by the shortest and most convenient route, their physical counterpart. Be careful what your thoughts dwell upon. We should also consider the "Average of Five." The Average of Five is the theory introduced by Jim Rohn, that states that we're the culmination of the five people we spend the most time with. The idea is the people we spend the most time with, have the most significant influence on us, so we must choose the people we hang out with very carefully. If we hang out with negative people, we will become more negative. Although this theory is controversial, Hill argues that our first loyalty is with ourselves. Hence, we need to carefully choose our social circles, and spend time with positive people who bring out the best in us. We need to stop associating with people just because we feel a sense of duty and obligation. Instead, we need to foster relationships with people who encourage us to reach our full potential.

Sharon Lechter's interruption every 5 minutes is very distracting so I deleted them (see below). She just repeats what Hill said, added her opinion and then asked a question that made you feel like you were in a primary school classroom. Sharon may have had good intentions with her commentary but it does not add value. Nothing has changed since Hill wrote this book: schools are still and potentially even more so indoctrination camps, religion while not as prevalent in its old form is still obtuse and promotes submission, conformity, and fear, rather than enlightenment. The real more prevalent religion nowadays is collectivism, statism promoted through everything from social media to every single aspect of culture. Hyper sexuality and degenerate sexual practices are being braught at forefront of our society every day discussions. The concept of stable healthy family has been utterly destroyed. A life that is lived with fullness of peace of mind, contentment, and happiness always divests itself of everything it does not want. Anyone who submits to annoyance by things he does not want is not definite. He is a drifter.

In short, being hesitant is not a quality you want in your skillset. If you are insecure, others will notice this pretty much immediately after you meet them. And other people don’t adore boring people that are predictable. Act boldly more often and you’ll build up your confidence and start making different decisions. Who knows, maybe one of those decisions will lead to a successful venture or a romantic relationship. Lesson #2: The Six Deadly Fears Through the operation of the law of compensation, everyone reaps that which he sows. Plans based on unjust or immoral motives may bring temporary success, but enduring success must take into consideration the fourth dimension, time. Time is the enemy of immorality and injustice. Trying to squeeze this excellent creative work into Christian stereotype ideologies is a waste of time. But critics must be critical otherwise they would be unemployed. I love this book and its takes absolutely nothing away from my religious faith. As an example, consider the countless innovators who defied conventional thinking and changed the world – they all practiced critical thinking and self-reliance, effectively “outwitting the devil”. Final Thoughts In other words, failure always is a blessing when it forces one to acquire knowledge or to build habits that lead to the achievement of one’s major purpose in life. Is that correct?Definiteness of purpose. Choose a purpose, a grand aspiration, a big goal, and move towards it relentlessly.
