You can’t do that…,
You are not good enough…,
You can’t succeed…,
You want to … are you crazy ?
If there is anyone put you down in anyway…
From Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich :
You have ABSOLUTE CONTROL over but one thing, and that is your thoughts. This is the most significant and inspiring of all facts known to man! It reflects man’s Divine nature. This Divine prerogative is the sole means by which you may control your own destiny. If you fail to control your own mind, you may be sure you will control nothing else.
If you must be careless with your possessions, let it be in connection with material things. Your mind is your spiritual estate! Protect and use it with the care to which Divine Royalty is entitled. You were given a WILL-POWER for this purpose.
Unfortunately, there is no legal protection against those who, either by design or ignorance, poison the minds of others by negative suggestion. This form of destruction should be punishable by heavy legal penalties, because it may and often does destroy one’s chances of acquiring material things which are protected by law.
Men with negative minds tried to convince Thomas A. Edison that he could not build a machine that would record and reproduce the human voice, “because” they said , “one else had ever produced such a machine”. Edison did not believe them. He knew that the mind could produce ANYTHING THE MIND COULD CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE, and that knowledge was the thing that lifted the great Edison above the common herd.
Men with negative minds told F. W. Woolworth, he would go “broke” trying to…
You have to take that comment/criticism away from your thoughts and subconcious mind. As long as it is in there…and you remember it … will be a poison. Napoleon Hill also wrote in Think and Grow Rich :
Criticism is the one form of service, of which everyone has too much. Everyone has a stock of it which is handed out, gratis, whether called for or not. One’s nearest relatives often are the worst offenders. It should be recognized as a crime (in reality it is a crime of the worst nature), for any parent to build inferiority complexes in the mind of a child, through unnecessary criticism. Employers who understand human nature, get the best there is in men, not by criticism, but by constructive suggestion. Parents may accomplish the same results with their children. Criticism will plant FEAR in the human heart, or resentment, but it will not build love or affection.
Realise that almost all people around us are not educated with Napoleon Hill’s teachings. Almost all do not read Think and Grow Rich. Of those little that read it, almost all of this small group do not remember it and practise it. So in the end, unfortunately, almost no one truly knows Napoleon Hill’s teachings. Your parents, relatives and friends (Napoleon Hill : ” One’s nearest relatives”) and most other ppl around us… at times they are criminals in the eyes of Napoleon Hill…and they “should be punishable by heavy legal penalties” (just like drug traffickers, rapists and murderers cause they poison a person like drugs, rape a person’s dream and murder a person’s potential). But because most ppl (our country or most countries) are not educated by Napoleon Hill, including politicians, such laws are not in place to prosecute offenders. And we can’t blame these offenders because they don’t even know it is a crime to start with (Napoleon Hill:” either by design or ignorance”)…so they do wrong.
As long as we know ourselves that what they have done is wrong…and we don’t let it affect us… this is what we can do.
Take care of your mind … guard it from thought drug traffickers, thought rapists and thought murderers.
