Find Success in Following These Principles.
The “I can do it” section of my Health & Fitness Journal,
will guide you through the success principles, which Napolean Hill detailed in his book “Think and Grow
Rich.” These principles have not only influenced me, but are responsible for the success of millions of men and women
throughout the world. The foundation of your success can be found in these principles. Take control of your mind and
your thoughts, and you will enjoy a lifetime journey of health and wellness. Here you will find a brief statement on
each, the pages of the journal will take you on a deeper exploration of them.
1. Desire This is the starting point for achieving your goals. You must have a strong desire to be healthy,
or you will not be able to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Complete the Desire Statement below.
2. Faith In order to accomplish your goals, you must have faith
in yourself. Throughout this journal we will explore ways to build your faith and self-confidence.
3. Auto-Suggestion By repeating your desire to be healthy, the subconscious
mind will accept it as fact. You will be amazed at the control you have over your mind, once you focus.
4. Specialized Knowledge In order to develop a plan of action for reaching your goals,
you must have specialized knowledge. The pages of this journal are filled with everything you need to know about getting into
the best shape possible and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Read and remember.
5. Imagination It has been stated by many great philosophers that, “whatever the mind can conceive
and believe, it can achieve.” Limit your imagination and you limit your achievements.
6. Organized Planning Just as you cannot build a house without a blueprint, you cannot lead a
healthy life without a plan. Setting up long-term and short-term goals is all a part of the plan.
7. Decision When you make up your mind to begin a healthy lifestyle, stick with it. Many
people fail because of the influence of others or procrastination. As Nike would say “Just do it!”
8.
Persistence This is a combination of willpower and desire that
will give you the power to make it through the tough times. There will be times when you want to give up, when it all
seems too difficult. That’s when you reach deep inside, refuse failure and remain persistant.
9. The Power of the Mastermind When two great minds come together, solutions are found
that may have never been discovered. Find a workout a buddy, someone with whom you can share ideas and discover great
ways to lead a healthy life.
10. Enthusiasm To achieve a healthy
lifestyle, you must have enthusiasm and determination. I have never met an individual who has lost weight and kept
it off, if they did not have the enthusiasm to do it for themselves.
11. The Subconscious Mind Your subconscious mind is most influenced when envisioning a clear picture
of having accomplished your goal. If you want to be slim and healthy, picture yourself slim and healthy.
12. The Power of the Brain Organized knowledge is power. Whether formally
educated or self-educated, everything we achieve is a result of the knowledge we have and how we use it. When used
to its fullest extent, your brain can bring to you all of that which you desire.
13. The Sixth Sense Master the above 12 principles and you will discover your sixth sense, a
function of the subconscious mind. It’s pulling into the parking space farthest from the building or reaching for a
water instead of soda, without thinking about it. You will be amazed at the healthy decisions which come naturally.
Goal Setting. Get into The Arena
”It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man
stumbles. Or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there
is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a
worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
— President Theodore Roosevelt, “The Man in the Arena” Paris, 1910
Don’t Look Back in a Year and be Dissapointed
Make this your year
to get into the arena, set goals and make this your healthiest year yet.
Remember, your goals are the blueprint for your
future. Without goals you will, with most probability, be unhealthier and unhappier a year from now, than you are now. Don’t
let the years age your body, use these days to your advantage to strengthen and renew your body. Chronological aging cannot
be stopped or slowed, however physical aging is controlled by you.
Record your desire statement, indicating that
which you desire most. Then, in your journal, record the daily goals that will bring you closer to this desire. When
writing your desire statement and setting goals keep these things in mind:
1. Make
sure the goal you are working towards is something you truly desire. If your goal is losing weight or trying to create
a healthy lifestyle to make your significant other or someone else happy, you will not be able to stick with it. You must
have the desire to do it for yourself.
2. When writing your desire statement and setting goals, don’t reach for something that is not attainable. For example, if you are 45 years old, 5'5"
tall and have always weighed around 200 pounds, you are not going to lose 90 pounds over the three months, nor should you.
Keep your goals within reason, you want to challenge yourself without making it impossible.
3. Your desire statement and goals should be written with family, career, spirituality, physical health, social well-being
and educational advancement all considered. Focusing on each of these six areas of life, will ensure the achievement
of a goal that is truly worth reaching.For example, if you want to lose weight and create a healthy lifestyle, simply to look
sexy in a bikini, you will be less likely to succeed then if you were doing it to enrich your life in the six areas mentioned
above.
4. Write your desire statement in the positive, not the negative. Work
towards that which you want, not what you don’t want. Writing your desire statement and goals creates a set of instructions
for your subconscious mind to carry out. As you will learn in reading this journal, the subconscious mind can’t determine
right from wrong, nor does it judge. It’s only function is to carry out your instructions. Therefore, the more positive
instructions you give, the more positive results you will receive.
Create Your Desire Statement. You obviously have a desire to make
changes in your life, or you would not be reading this website. To make your desire a reality, begin by answering
these 6 important questions.Do not skip over these questions as they are essential to creating your healthy lifestyle.It
was Andrew Carnegie who developed these steps; they took him from an ordinary laborer of the steel mills to an icon
worth more than one hundred million dollars. It may further help to know that Thomas Edison placed his stamp of approval
upon them as being the essential steps for the attainment of any definite goal.
1. What is it that you desire
most? Answer with detail.
2. Keeping in mind, you reap what you sow, determine what you must do to achieve your desire.
3. Establish a definite date by which you intend to possess that which you desire. 4. Create a definite plan for
carrying out your desire and begin at once, don’t procrastinate.
5. Write out a clear, concise statement of your
responses to the preceding four steps, this is your “Desire Statement.”
6. Read your “Desire Statement”
aloud at least twice daily.
Read when you get up in the morning and again
before you go to bed. As you read, you should see, feel and believe you already possess that which you desire.
Keep the statement posted at your desk or as a screen saver on your computer. It’s a simple, REQUIRED, step for BIG results.
