Keep Your Mind Free

An open mind is free mind .
The person who closes his mind to new ideas , concepts and people is locking a door that enslaves his own mentality . Intolerance is a two - edged scythe that on its backswing cuts off opportunities and lines of communication . When you open your mind , you give your imagination freedom to act for you .

It's hard to realize now that less than six decades ago there were men who laughed at the wright brothers' experiments at flight . And barely three decades ago , Lindbergh could scarcely find backers for his trans - atlantic flight . Today , men of vision freely predict man will soon fly to the moon - but no one's laughing . It's the scoffers who are held in scorn .

A closed mind is a sign of a static personality . It lets progress pass it by and hence can never take advantage of the opportunities progress offers .

Only  if you have an open mind can you grasp the full impact of man can conceive and believe , the mind can achieve ."

It would be well for you to take stock of yourself . Are you among those who say , " I can " and " it will be done " or do you fall in the group that says " Nobody can "-at the very moment somebody else is accomplishing it ? An open mind requires faith - in yourself , your fellow man and the creator who laid out a pattern of progress for man and his universe .

The days of superstition has gone . But the shadow of prejudice is as dark as ever . You can come out into the light by closely examining your own personality . Do you make decisions based on reason and logic rather than on emotion and preconceived ideas ? Do you listen closely , attentively and thoughtfully to the othe fellow 's arguments ? Do you seek for facts rather than hearsay and rumor ?

The human mentality withers unless in constant contact with the stimulating influence of fresh thought . The Communists , in their brain - washing technique , know that the quickest way to break a man's will is to isolate his mind , cutting him off from books , newspapers , radio and other normal channels of intellectual communication .

Under such circumstances , the intellect dies  for lack of nourishment . Only the strongest will and the purest faith can save it .


Is it possible that you have imprisoned your mind in social and cultural concentration camp ? Have you subjected yourself to a brain - washing of your own making , isolating you from ideas that could lead to success ? If so, It's time to sweep aside the bars of prejudice that imprison your intellect .

Open your mind and set it free for you and your genious childrens........ !

Magic Keys To Success ( Using The Hill Principles ) .

1. Throw the right switch - ( Positive Mental Attitude ) : Always the right mental attitude in any circumstances.stone's principle of choice . A good mental image to hold in your mind is that nothing will see the light of day until you throw the switch ! Let your little light shine.....
2. Show up-even prepared - ( Go the extra mile - GEM of a principle ) : Carnegie's principle of choice . he states that it made him the business success that he was . Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope one hour before he delivered it , but his LIFE was present in every word . It has been said many times over that victory oftentimes goes to those who show up ! Most importantly - Show up for life every day !
3. Don't share - i.e., problems . share solutions . ( Teamwork and mastermind alliance ) : Be a " yes , and . . . " person , not a " yes , but . . . " person when presented with a new idea . No one is really interested in hearing about your unsolved problems . They only become engaged when they see you surmounting insurmountable problems by putting creative solutions to work . Focus on the " can do " part .
4. Provide Catnip - Anticipate don't worry . ( Creative visioning ) : involve your senses . This technique can be the key to unlocking memories . Thomas Edison was not 20 minutes proving the value of the incandescent light bulb , but he spent decades of his lifetime looking for the correct filament . By providing encouragement to those around you through creative tidbits or " goodies " with the promise of more to come upon the completion of good work , you will engage the hearts and souls of those too . hedge your bets - build in some incremental reward in order to get and keep yourself motivated towards achieving your goal .
5. Be Joyful : Joy eradicates sadness just as light dispels darkness . ( Applied Faith ) Remember , fear is faith in reverse . Laugh , joke , and allow the inside massage of laughter to make you feel more alive and vibrant from the inside out .
6. Ask How To Help - Give to give not give to get . ( Cosmic Habit force ) Be courteous . Invoke Emerson's Law of Compensation . What goes around comes around . Give away something today to someone who needs it - may be just a smile or a compliment , but give it freely and consciously . No strings attached .
7. Hold on to a dream - ( Definite Major Purpose ) : Where is the magic ? it's inside you . probably the place you would least likely look . Dr. Hill's Principle of Choice - Definite major purpose . Locate your dream , cuddle it ,formulate a plan to bring it forth , and then unveil out for the world to be part of the plan .

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WISHING AND BELIEVING.......

THERE ARE SIX STEPS WHICH PEOPLE USUALLY FOLLOW IN USING THEIR MIND-POWER FOR THE ATTAINMENT OF THEIR DESIRES.
THESE STEPS ARE:

• FIRST : The vast majority of people go through life by merely wishing for things.the % of people who stop at "wishing" is estimated at : 70%.
• SECOND : A much smaller % of people develop their wishes into desires.these are estimated at : 10%.
• THIRD : A still smaller % of the people develop their wishes and desires into hopes.these are estimated at : 8%.
• FOURTH : A still smaller % of the people steps their mind-power up to where it becomes belief . these are estimated at : 6%.
• FIFTH : And yet a very much smaller % of the people crystallize wishes,desires and hopes into belief , and then into boring desire , and finally this % is estimated at : 4%.
• SIXTH : And last , A very special small % of the people take the last two steps . putting their faith into action by,

                       1.PLANNING    and,

                       2.ACTING TO CARRY OUT THEIR PLANS

         This % is estimated at only 2%.

* The outstanding leaders in every walk of life are the ones in the sixth group . they recognize the power of their own minds , take possession of that power and direct it to whatever ends they choose . to these people the word IMPOSSIBLE has no meaning . to them everything they want or need is possible and they manage to get it.
