12 Things That Constitute Real Riches (Napoleon Hill)

DSC_0205In search for wealth and abundance, I have often been distracted by focusing on the money.  Money, money, money…. Money makes the world go round.  But does it?  Not according to the wise.  Here are the 12 things that constitute real riches, from Napoleon Hill’s personal development classic Think and Grow Rich.
#1.  A positive mental attitude.  (Observe that it heads the list)
#2.  Sound physical health
#3.  Harmony in human relations
#4.  Freedom from fear
#5.  The hope of future achievement
#6.  The capacity for applied faith
#7.  Willingness to share ones blessings with others
#8.  To be engaged in a labor of love
#9.  An open mind on all subjects toward all people
#10.  Complete self discipline
#11.  Wisdom with which to understand people
#12.  Financial Security
Again, let’s observe where money falls on this list (last in line), and what comes first:  A positive mental attitude. Personally, I am working hard on “freedom from fear” and “complete self discipline”.  I plan to start practicing martial arts, possibly aikido or capoeira, to improve my self discipline and physical health.  Daily yoga should help with this as well.  Once these things become habits, they are easy to maintain and enjoy.  It is the process of switching habits which can be quite difficult.  It helps to surround yourself with people who display the habits that you wish to acquire, rather than the ones that you are leaving behind.  As they say, show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.
Many blessings,
