Do You Need A Change Of Mind?
Napoleon Hill, the famous inspirational writer, once met a
reader who became a millionaire after reading one of his books.
The book, Think and Grow Rich, transformed Bill McCall of
Australia from rags to riches.
When Bill was 19 years old, he sold hides and skins. He failed
miserably. Two years later, he ran for Federal Congress. Again,
he failed. In desperation, Bill went to the library to read
about success principles. There, he found Hill's book.
Although he read the book three times, he failed to see how to
use the success principles. Then, during the fourth reading,
something shifted within him, a flash of inspiration, and his
life changed.
Years later, after meeting the author, Bill McCall, now the
Honorable William V. McCall, now a director of 22 family-owned
businesses, and now a man as rich as the people whom he had once
read about, narrated the moment his life fell into place.
"I was reading Think and Grow Rich for the fourth time while
walking leisurely along a business street in Sydney. And then it
happened! It happened suddenly. I stopped in front of a meat
market and glanced up. And in that fraction of a second I had a
flash of inspiration.
"You see, I was reading Chapter Four entitled 'Autosuggestion.'
The subheading was 'The Medium for Influencing the Subconscious
Mind.' Now I remember that when I was a boy my father read aloud
from Emile Coue's little book Self-Mastery Through Conscious
Autosuggestion."
"It was you," Bill said to Napoleon Hill, "who pointed out in
your book that if Emile Coue was successful in helping
individuals avoid sickness and in bringing the sick back to good
health, through conscious autosuggestion, autosuggestion could
also be used to acquire riches or anything else one might
desire. 'Get rich through autosuggestion': that was my great
discovery. It was a new concept to me.
"You know:
conscious autosuggestion is the agency of control
through which an individual may voluntarily feed his
subconscious mind on thoughts of a creative nature, or, by
neglect, permit thoughts of a destructive nature to find their
way into the rich garden of his mind.
"When you read aloud twice daily the written statement of your
desire for money with emotion and concentrated attention, and
you see and feel yourself already in possession of the money,
you communicate the object of your desire directly to your
subconscious mind. Through repetition of this procedure, you
voluntarily create thought habits which are favorable to your
efforts to transmute desire into its monetary equivalent.
"Let me say it again: It is most important that when you read
aloud the statement of your desire through which you are
endeavoring to develop a money consciousness, you read with
emotion and strong feeling.
"Your ability to use the principles of autosuggestion will
depend very largely upon your capacity to concentrate upon a
given desire until that desire becomes a burning desire.
"When I arrived home, out of breath for running, I immediately
set down at the dining room table and wrote: 'My definite major
aim is to be a millionaire by 1960.'"
The Honorable William V. McCall, the youngest person to be a
member of the house of parliament, achieved his definite major
aim to be a millionaire four days before his deadline.
