While the book's title implies that it deals with how to attain monetary wealth, Hill explains that the philosophy taught in the book can be used to help people succeed in all lines of work, to do and be almost anything we want.
I, hereby, list down the Top 11 of my learnings from this epic book. These learnings are worded and appended in a way that makes it easier for most of us to understand and absorb.
(1) 'Burning' Desire
If you want something badly enough that you are ready to put your life at stake for something, then you will get it. Have a burning desire and refuse to give in. Nature has no choice but to honor your desire.
(2) Faith
Have faith that you can achieve whatever. Keep talking loudly to yourself as if you have already achieved it. Keep faith and keep doing like this till this hits and settles in your subconscious mind.
(3) Natural Manifestation
Riches begin in your mind. Whatever amount you can conceptualise in your mind and truly believe in it, it will start manifesting in the physical world. Create your strategy and just start taking action. Make sure you loudly speak your self talk to yourself everyday morning and evening. It has to manifest. It is energy. It cannot be destroyed.
(4) Implementing an Idea
Being able to conceptualise and implement an idea is far more wealth creating and in demand, that any specialised knowledge. Knowledge is available in every corner of the world, while an idea implementation capability is rare. Ideas live on even after the brain that creates them gets dissolved in dust. Ideas need to be nurtured, and taken care of in the beginning... then they become self sustaining, and even overpower the creator.
(5) Winners and Quitters
Quitters never win, and Winners never quit. If you fail temporarily, create another plan, find out the issue and move on - that's life. And remember that failure is always temporary.
(6) Persistence
Keep persisting. You will be tested, maybe for years - but if you continue to demand, your demands will be manifested for sure. 10 years is the average it takes for us to master any art and come out as extraordinary. Do not expect short term gains.
(7) Definiteness
Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond to definite plans, backed up by a definite desire and un shattering persistence.
(8) Sex Energy
Our creative thinking faculty, as with most inventors and super successful people, is elevated only when we are able to transmute the supreme power that is available to us - sex energy. Once transmuted, this takes us to an elevated level leading to innovation and success, but this transmutation must be directed towards extraordinary goals.
(9) Transmutation of Energy
The greatest motivation for a man is to please his woman - right from the stone age. The love for this woman can help transmute the sex energy.
(10) Changing Thoughts
The best known way to transmute the sex energy is to control and change your thoughts - from thoughts related to sex to thoughts of a powerful challenging goal or thoughts of deep innovative thinking.
(11) Powerful Reception
Our mind receives thoughts flowing in the outside universe. When we step up the energy (through control of sex or otherwise), the mind becomes ultra receptive to brilliant ideas. This is just like strengthening your antenna to be able to receive the broadcast messages flowing in the air.

Books to elevate your life
The first 7 points are clear and understandable - Beyond that - i am left clueless
ReplyDeleteThere is immense stored energy in our body, which we often waste in the form of sex energy.
DeleteIf we learn to preserve that energy and "transmute / convert" into useful energy, it can spark ideas and innovations that is not feasible for most human beings. Read books from Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi and other great personalities and you will realise what I am trying to say.
