God’s natural law dictates that we must give in order to receive. There’s no such reality as something for nothing. Second - Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. In this thought and statement, there’s a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in another principle. It is not sufficient merely to say, “I want plenty of money.” You must be definite as to the amount. Napoleon Hill gives us six definite practical steps to follow:įirst - Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. While these principles will work for anything you may want, let’s say your desire happens to be more money to better care for your family and provide for a secure future. It takes this kind of resolve to keep picking yourself up after the hurdles and falls you will encounter on your journey to createyourself. “You can’t get to second base if you keep one foot on first” - Earl Nightingaleīut if you’re willing to burn your bridges behind you and say once and for all, this is it, this is what I will do, and I will never retreat, I will never go back, then you have the sort of desire that can only end in success. I tell all of my students that if your desire is not the last thing you think about before you shut your eyes at night and the first thing you think of when your feet land beside the bed in the morning, you won’t make it. If you go after that which you think you desire tentatively, timidly, in an attempt to play it safe, you don’t have a burning desire at all. A good way to determine whether or not you have a burning desire is to examine how you go after it. So here, right now, firmly establish in your mind that you desire more than anything else, and you “may” have it. Hill cites example after example of why your burning desire is nothing more than an accurate picture of what you will one day become. Whatever it is that you desire with all your heart, whatever you can imagine in your mind, know and understand that it can and should be yours. God has provided each of us with a built-in governor where our desires are modified by our abilities and our mindset. In other words, humans would not have the desire unless we were capable of achieving it. This point of whether or not you accomplish that which you desire with all your heart is best expressed by Emerson, who wrote, “There is nothing capricious in nature, and the implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feels it.” We’ll get into this business of doubt later, but let’s clear up this point once and for all. This is also the first stumbling block because too many people will tell themselves, “I know what I desire, but can I get it?” The First Principle to TAGR Desire is the starting point for all achievement, the first step toward your riches. Recall the lessons you have already learned in this book on “How to Createyourself,” and apply them to your thinking and life. Remember, "Rich" does not only mean "wealth" but instead a truly wonderfully full life all around. We introduced you to Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich Principals yesterday.
