Napoleon Hill says the Sixth Sense IS Creative Imagination, which IS the “receiving set” through which inspiration and hunches come to us.
Last April I had a breakthrough when I understood that the Real Me had been hiding deep within, afraid to come out for fear of what others could do to me. I did open the door at that time. Yet the feeling persisted that part of the Real Me was still hiding in a chamber of safety deep within, watching and waiting until she felt it was safe to emerge.Continue reading »
I like working against a deadline, if it’s set by someone else. Normally that’s when everything falls together for me and I can finish crocheting an afghan, reading a book, or writing my mental cleanse lesson.
But not this time. I had read the chapter twice through and listened to the recording once and I was still drawing a blank.
What you are about to see will inspire you to examine the excuses you make not to tackle certain challenges in your own life.
“Souvenir D’enfance” by Richard Clayderman is not an easy piece to play. This girl plays beautifully, with a lyrical maturity that is rare in youngsters new to their instruments. She has been playing the piano for only three years.
And if that isn’t enough to wow you — she has NO fingers on her right hand!
Watch her amazing performance…
Most of us will never have to face challenges as huge as this girl has overcome. But we all have challenges that are huge to us.
I live with ADHD. Some see it as a handicap, but my 17-year-old son wisely calls “Hyper-Mentally Active”. Now THAT is seeing the positive side of the matter! It opens up a whole new world of possibilities for me that I am only beginning to explore.
What is YOUR biggest challenge as you work toward YOUR goals and aspirations? I’d love to read your stories in the comments below.

CHAPTER 12
The Subconscious Mind: The Connecting Link
On the coaches’ corner call Saturday night, a lady shared that she has trouble coming up with word pictures for her mental cleanse lessons. I did too, at first. I thought I would never be able to write a lesson plan like those of Patti Blevins or Ken Klemm. But as I’ve gone through the process, I’ve found more and more that pictures, examples, and memories come to mind that act as connecting links, fitting more of the puzzle pieces together.Continue reading »
The first International Women’s Day (IWD) was declared in Copenhagen in 1911, and was honored in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on March 19 of that year.
Now, 100 years later, this international day of observance for women’s accomplishments is celebrated world-wide today, March 8th.
Today, in honor of International Women’s Day, I’d like to share an excerpt from a book written by two women who write with a voice of wisdom and experience that resonates with women today – women who are caregivers, mothers, professionals, teachers…Continue reading »
~ a lesson learned from Ch.11 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
An American Indian and a city businessman were walking down a busy street in a large city. Suddenly the Indian stopped.
“Listen! I hear a cricket. Over there.” He indicated a clump of bushes across the busy street and half a block away.
“How can you possibly hear a cricket that far away in all this noise?” asked the businessman skeptically viewing the swarms of pedestrians and traffic that surrounded them.Continue reading »
John C. Maxwell was a young man when he realized that personal growth had to be intentional, and that he couldn’t wait till he had all his ducks in a row before he got started. He also realized that life does not provide a good growth environment. We must provide our own.
I had an “Aha!” moment on our mental cleanse call this week.
We hear it all the time. “Personal development is a journey. Enjoy the journey.”
Enjoy the journey? What does that MEAN? How can I enjoy knowing there is so much wrong with me and there is such a chasm between where I am and where I want to be?Continue reading »
