IMAGINATION: THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND

CHAPTER 6
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Fifth Step toward Riches

IMAGINATION: THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND is indeed just that. An extra room in my home where plans are drawn out and the destiny of my future is created. Just think of it, it is a wonderful place to come and collect my day dreams and then craft them into reality.

I have discovered over time that the dreams that I carefully plan out and the put action to in real time have a way of becoming reality. Those that sit on a shelf in a corner of my workshop and pop in and out of my mind never seem to come to fruition.

Hill say's, "MAN’S ONLY LIMITATION, within reason, LIES IN HIS DEVELOPMENT AND
USE OF HIS IMAGINATION." How does one develop imagination you might ask . Here is what I have discovered. Now that I am "older and wiser" I revisit my childhood from time to time and re-call the hours of activity outside playing with my friends and using our imagination to create a world of what ever we desired right down to collecting sumack leaves for our money and we had plenty of it and could buy what ever our hearts desired and our minds could imagine.

We didn't have television, computers,i Phones and the like to alter our imagination. The world evolves and changes and it is a good thing if we don't allow ourselves to be controlled by it. That's exactly what happens as we grow older, we allow the gadgets to take over our brain and we stop dreaming and imagining what is possible and instead we only hear the chatter and the noise of the world as it goes speeding past us.

It's not too late for anyone, no mater what season of your life you find yourself. Hill says,"Your imaginative faculty may have become weak through inaction. It can be revived and made alert through USE. YOU CAN DO IT!(I can do it!) IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE! Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes. Ideas are products of the imagination.

Michael had an idea and created the Mentoring For Free community. We all have an idea that is waiting for us to give it permission to become. Like the clerk who risked his entire savings, IDEAS CAN BE TRANSMUTED INTO CASH THROUGH THE POWER OF DEFINITE PURPOSE, PLUS DEFINITE PLANS.

I love this chapter because it gives me so many ideas and stimulates my imagination. I'm thinking it should be a required daily read especially when we fall victim to the thought that network marketing doesn't work. Nothing works when we let our imagination and our ideas die.

Thank You Michael and Linda for your continued support and this fabulous system and community that stimulates my imagination and the use of it.

Chapter 15- How To Outwit The Six Ghosts of Fear

Taking inventory and finding the "Ghosts" that stand in my way:

The first of the six basic fears is the fear of POVERTY.
I grew up in poverty of material possessions, but my child's
mind saw riches as I showed my childhood friends
through our new home that came with the luxury of
running water, an indoor bathroom an electric stove
and refrigerator that didn't need ice blocks to keep it
cold. I was 12 years old and in my mind, we were rich.

I have been on a mission ever since, to accumulate
riches in the form of financial freedom only to have it
elude me and the battle to go on continues like the
rabbit chasing a carrot that's tied to a string.

So, what is it that stops me from reaching the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Hill says, "if you want riches, you must refuse to
accept any circumstance that leads toward poverty"

The staring point is desire and desire I have had
from childhood. accepting a poverty mind set now
would be like giving up before the race is over.

Fear of poverty is a state of mind, nothing else!
Possessions are just things that can be replaced.
The mind is too powerful to waste.

A new chapter of my life has opened it's door.
There are two roads on the other side of the door.
One leads to living life in fear of being alone and having
to much month left at the end of my money. That only
leads to giving up on my dreams and settling for what
ever life will give me.

The other road leads to new adventure, new possibilities
and self discoveries. I cannot say that I have no fear,
for stepping into unfamiliar territory is a bit frightening.
However, staying focused on my desire and taking one
day at a time will peel the layers of fear away until I
reach the fruit of my thoughts and dreams.

I have the opportunity to create a new reality for myself
right now. There is nothing in my way except myself
and my thoughts. Taking a lesson from my childhood,
I am rich, look around, I have the gift of unconditional
love from a Master Mind family of friends here at
Mentoring For Free and that is priceless beyond any
measure.

The first and best victory, Hill writes, is to conquer self.
The power of the mind is like the power of Z06 Corvette.
First you fill it with the right fuel, engage the engine and
step on the gas. In the blink of an eye it takes you form
0 to 100 in a heart beat. And that's the power of the mind,
from poverty to riches in a heart beat. It's a state of mind.
I refuse to accept any circumstance that leads to poverty.

Thank You Michael and Linda for pointing me to tools that
have opened new doors that fuel a positive mind set.
