As you will discover before you finish reading this book, you can acquire riches—and in a manner far simpler than you ever dared to imagine. You can become rich in any form you wish: rich in material goods—money, home, etc.; rich in mental and
spiritual blessings; rich in personal power and leadership; rich in friendships. Wouldn't it be a good idea then to begin deciding now what kind of riches you feel would give you the happiness you strive for?
If you have been living as the average citizen lives, earning enough to get by, having the necessities of life, and a few of the luxuries, your interpretation of riches may be rather mild. Your bills all paid and a few thousand dollars in the bank could be a situation so far beyond your present status that it would seem foolish to "dream" further.
Do you know that the ability to acquire riches is a state of mind? Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said: "Anything the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve." To gain the full import of this statement, you must think about it. Your mind might conceive the wish: "I'd like to be a power among men; I'd like to have money—lots of it." But if your mind could conceive the picture of yourself as having power and money; and if you really believed you could have power and money—brother, watch out; you're on your way!
W. Clement Stone, when he was a young man (and he is still a young man),
conceived the image of himself as the head of a large insurance company, and he
deeply believed he could become the head. With a beginning of not more than
$100, he went on to carve an insurance empire and multiply his original $100
into a personal fortune of $100,000,000. In the book he co-authored with
Napoleon Hill, SUCCESS through a Positive Mental Attitude, he tells you how he
did it. The pattern Mr. Stone followed was a simple one, once more proving the
efficacy of Mr. Hill's motto: "Anything the mind can conceive and believe, the
mind can achieve."
