“‘Five years passed before the chance he had been seeking made its appearance. During all those years, not one ray of hope, not one promise of attainment of his DESIRE, had been held out to him. To everyone except himself, he appeared to be only another cog in the Edison business wheel, but in his own mind HE WAS THE PARTNER OF EDISON EVERY MINUTE OF THE TIME from the very day that he first went to work there.’ Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
Edwin C. Barnes hung in there. What he wanted was invisible to him. It did not show in outer reality but it was alive in his mind. He saw himself as Edison’s partner. Would you hang in there for five years before the chance you seek makes its appearance?
Hill says there was not a SINGLE ray of hope or promise held out to him that he would get what he wanted. For five years Barnes persisted. Would you? Not a single shred of evidence that he would get his goals was visible for him, yet, he persisted.
If You Do Nothing – Nothing Changes – Make The Change
BUT, he believed it would happen. He knew it. To everyone else, he was just another worker BUT IN HIS OWN MIND he was a partner of Edison every minute of the time from the day he went to work. In his mind, he saw himself already possessing what he came for.
He already claimed his future! This IS what Neville Goddard calls ‘living in the wish already fulfilled.’ To the five senses, it’s invisible. To the inner mind, it’s reality. Inside Barnes his dream was alive. Each day for five years he intensified his dream.
He saw and heard and felt himself already a partner with Edison. He lived it within. This is what we must do. We must have such a powerful, positive, singular focus that we let nothing detract us from our purpose or our goals. It becomes a white-hot obsession
Change Your Thoughts Today And Transform Your Life Forever
The outer circumstances must not deter us from what we want to accomplish. We must develop a great desire and unshakable faith in ourselves. We make it happen by what we see and say to ourselves. We make it happen by our intense positive feelings. We create it.
We make it happen because we believe it will. We make it happen by doing whatever positive good it takes and by not giving up. This is what Barnes did day in and day out. 5 years with no indication of success. Hill points this out again and again. He tells us how it works.
‘Any dominating idea, plan or purpose held in the conscious mind through repetition of thought and emotionalized by a burning desire for its realization is taken over by the subconscious and acted upon through whatever natural and logical means may be available.’
You Really Can Change Your Thoughts And Transform Your Life
Barnes knew his destiny. He knew it was only a matter of time. He was determined to wait it out. How we wait is important. It didn’t matter to him that he was waiting because on the inside he already realized his dream. Would you? Could you? Think on this.
It was just a matter of ‘when’ the opportunity would present itself that he could take advantage. Would you have the mindset, the confidence and the willpower to pursue your dreams as Barnes had? This is a common characteristic reported by some of the most successful people. They always knew it would happen even when facing unbelievable odds. Are you this dedicated to making your dreams come true? If you are there will be no stopping you! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
