FEAR: The Chief Enemy of Success You Must Conquer First
We have discussed all the 13
principles to transform your money desire to its physical equivalents (Cash or
asset). Before you can put any portion of this philosophy into successful use,
your mind must be prepared to receive it. The preparation begins with the
study, analysis and understanding of the three enemies you shall have to clear out
from your mind. They are indecision, doubt and fear.
Note that the sixth sense will
never function while these three negatives, or any of them, remain in your
mind. The trio is closely related because where one is found; the other two are
close at hand. Indecision is the seedling of fear. Indecision grows into doubt
and the two blends and become fear. The process through which the two blends is
often slow. So, it is important you guide your mind against these three
dangerous enemies of success. If you fail to do so, they will germinate and
grow without you observing their presence and the calamity they are doing to
your life.
Having stated the above premise,
it is important you know that the climax of the trio is fear. You need to
understanding the enemy called fear, how it operates and how to put it on
check. According to Napoleon Hill, he classified fear into six basic fears.
They are;
1. Fear
of Poverty
2. Fear
of criticism
3. Fear
of ill health
4. Fear
of loss of love of someone
5. Fear
of old age
6. Fear
of death
According to him, all other fears
are minor and are find inside these basic fears. Fear is nothing more than
states of mind. And one’s state of mind is subject to control and direction. It
is important I state that we cannot create anything that is not first conceived
in the form of an impulse of thought. So, thought impulses begin immediately to
translate themselves into their physical equivalent, whether those thoughts are
voluntary or involuntary. Know that thought impulses picked up from the ether
by chance, that’s thoughts released by other minds; may determine one’s
financial, business, professional or social destiny just as surely as the thought
impulses one created by intent and design will shape his/her destiny. For
instance, we have lots of people wallowing in poverty, anguish and hardship
because they accepted the idea that you will not attain any greatness if you do
not go to school or if you are infected with disability or if you are living in
the remotest part of your country. But these are beliefs that you have
involuntarily accepted because it seems to be the ethos of your society and you
allow them to relegate you to penury and hardship when you can discard these
beliefs and fill your mind with positive beliefs like every man has inside
him/her enormous seed of greatness. And our circumstance does not determine who
and what we become in life rather we determine destiny and use it to influence
our circumstances. When one dominates his mind with these kinds of positive
beliefs, you will start translating them into their physical equivalents.
On Monday 27th August,
2018; I will start a series on the six basic fears. I shall explain each pay
day and give practical examples that will help you understand it and put it
into practice. I encourage you to stick on and go with me in this journey to
transform your money desire into its physical equivalents.
