20 HABITS of a Positive Mind - Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill (October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970) was an American self-help author. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success".

1. Adjust yourself to other people's state of mind & difficulties.
2. Condition your mind at the beginning of each day - you will keep it positive under all circumstances.
3. Do not permit yourself to be drawn into arguments over unimportant subjects.
4. Have a good-hearted laugh every time you become irritated or angry.
5. Start each day with an expression of gratitude for all adversities, defeats & failures you have experienced.
6. Concentrate your attention on the can-do portion of your problems & desires.
7. Learn to transmute all unpleasant circumstances into immediate action.
8. Your strength grows out of your struggles.
9. Look upon your life as a continuous process of learning from your experiences good & bad.
10. Work on self-improvement which will make you more open-minded, patient and generous in your relations with others.
11. Express gratitude twice daily - you have complete control over your own mind.
12. Go out of your way to comment enthusiastically on people's good qualities.
13. Consider what others say of you, but know yourself.
14. Do not accept what you do not desire.
15. Worry does no good unless you can do something about it - then you take action.
16. Keep your mind eternally engaged in thinking of that which you desire most.
17. Help someone who is worse off than yourself.
18. Emulate those you admire.
20. Whatever the mind can conceive & believe, the mind can achieve.
21. Say this to yourself often - I am at peace with myself.

You are the only person who can provide you with a positive mental attitude.

Started Napoleon Hill at 25 yo. Wasn't sure it would work. 40 years later I have arrived at a result: Yes it works, in a big way. Have achieved all that I wanted and more. Bringing this with me to the 40 years ahead.

Our lives are steered by the direction of our thoughts, positivity is a seed that can grow into inifinite possibilities

heavyy on the gratitude!! even just listing a few things you're grateful for each morning wires your brain to seek out the positives in your life. if i'm ever feeling low or facing some kind of challenge, if i can remind myself to give gratitude for whatever the situation is teaching me i immediately feel better (or at the very least my perspective shifts!). it's such a powerful practice.

Ah yes, Napoleon Hill. I discovered him in the 80s through an older friend (RIP) who had been the top salesman in a life insurance company and became my best friend and mentor. When I met my friend he had started a successful homebuilding company which was his dream and passion. He had studied what he called PMA, positive mental attitude. He had a rather lengthy spiel of PMA sayings accumulated from several writers and speakers he would repeat. I then wrote down my goals, dreams, hopes and began repeating them on my way to work each morning. My list expanded, refined, and changed over time. I kept reading and repeating and also praying to connect to the spiritual. Over the years all my core dreams came true. It was the focus, persistence, and discipline that ultimately worked. And one other thing, learning especially from my mentor, was to get along with people and assisting them with reaching their goals. He was a master of that. From Napoleon Hill I learned persistence especially. As another friend and important mentor said, "If you're going to pray for potatoes you better have a hoe in your hand".

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 11 months ago about self development. Now I have 2, 048 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal - Napoleon Hill

I love the way this channel is helping to save the world.
Thank you, After Skool.

Wow. I can't even begin to explain how important these things are and how as of late I've been getting intertwined with the art of getting things done and being more willing to do what I have to do instead of what I want to do. Thank you for this video I think it's going to help a lot.

I can't believe you have loaded this just now. I have been listening to Napoleon Hill and friend Earl Nightingale over the few weeks and Hey Presto thus pop's up. The 20 steps are amazing but also so so common sense. Love it.

[KHX]

I really love this channel. Thank you for what you do.

It is so helpful to hear the ideas you share while seeing them written on the screen simultaneously. Much more impactful than hearing the words while watching unrelated video footage, as many idea-oriented videos do.

Again, thank you.

Love this video! So well done and so valuable

I was introduced to Napoleon Hill's book "Think and grow rich" from a network marketing debacle. I left that behind, but the knowledge in that book resonated with me ever since. So much so that I have bought the book 3 times and given it away to individuals I thought it could help twice. PMA is most definitely one of the self's biggest treasures.

[shoslashnikko]

It's such a relief to hear his voice for the first time yet feels familiar when you read his book twice 🙌

[inspirationalquotesvlog]

Such a powerful video on developing a positive mindset! Napoleon Hill's teachings truly stand the test of time. These 20 habits are a great reminder that success starts with our thoughts. Thank you for sharing this valuable wisdom.
