Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. –Napoleon Hill
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. This is one of the first quotes I ever heard and learned when I was starting my adult life. I still believe this to be true.
Napoleon Hill wrote the most well known book about success and how to achieve it. His interviews of the wealthiest people of his time, 1920's and 30's produced the basis of success thinking for decades since.
This is also one of the often misquoted quotes. People often quote this as "What man can conceive, he can achieve." The quote and the truth to it are more than just thinking about something and being able to achieve it.
Napoleon Hill emphasizes a lot more:
Whatever the mind of man can conceive - This is our Dreams, our Goals that our mind, our subconscious mind thinks up, conceives.
Hill goes further to say, Whatever the mind of man can conceive, and BELIEVE, it can achieve.
The "and BELIEVE" is the crucial part to this quote, this truth. The mind must not only be able to conceive it, it has to believe that you can achieve it so it can be achieved. This is where we often have our battles and our failures to achieve our dreams. The subconscious mind can hold limiting beliefs that although it can conceive the dreams, it may have limiting beliefs that prevent it from fully believing it can, or should be achieved.
Without that Belief that it can be achieved, the conceived dreams and goals will not be able to be achieved. This is why you are not able to always achieve the goals you set. This is why we often fail. Our conscious mind may believe it, but our subconscious has the control over our beliefs internally. Consciously we may think, believe that we can achieve our goals, but if our subconscious mind believes otherwise, it will fight us when we try our goals.
The key to achieving our dreams and goals it to make sure our mind does believe what it conceives so it can be achieved.
Our Goal Achievement Success System is structured to tap into the subconscious mind and replace the negative, limiting beliefs with positive, dream achieving beliefs. With these changes, our mind can conceive AND BELIEVE what it conceives can be achieved. When you do this, they will be achieved.
Do you want to ensure your mind can believe in what it conceives? Do you want to Get The Goals You Set?
