Napoleon Hill's Style
There are all kinds of books waiting for your sticky fingers to pick up and read. Oh what your eyes are waiting to feed your brain. This is how I feel about 'Outwitting the Devil' by Napoleon Hill. I just finished his other book: 'Think Grow Rich' and it's an enthusiastic read too. Basically he does self-help books and his style is old school. The author isn't around anymore but his words live on.
Don't Fear the Devil
This is a book you don't want to put down. Honestly I'm almost done with it and it's been a journey right when I needed it most. If you're like me and you need the ghost of Christmas past to tell you what you're missing in life than this is the baby gravy. If someone put a gun to my head and said explain 'Outwitting the Devil' I'd say: 'think and don't stop thinking.' Choose your thoughts wisely every second of the day and while you're at it never ever fear again.
I've Shit My Pants My Whole Life
Lets be honest we have been taught since grade school to be afraid and listen to other peoples ideas, not our own, no one taught me how to manage my time or think for myself. I had to do what others told me. Outwitting the Devil has a word for people like this: they're called the drifters. Drifters are people who are afraid and have no purpose. Hill thinks 98% of people are drifters. Meaning most advice you get is coming from people that don't think for themselves and live in fear.
Wait Purpose What's That
This is the part I've wrestled with my whole 31 years of life: a purpose. How does one know what their purpose is? Well this little book will direct you if you don't know. Most of it has to do with faith and using failure as a leverage to bump you up on the ladder. Those ideas you put into action are your purpose. And if you fail, which is life than you keep going because you have no fear. So there you go have no fear and give a lot.
