Sometimes I wonder if we really discover new things, or if the information has been around all along and is just being rediscovered. I once read that we don't learn new things, it is just that we remember what we knew all along. I am not sure, but am open to the idea.
What brought on this train of thought? Well, recently with all the talk about the Law of Attraction and the movie the Secret, I came across talk about Napoleon Hill and his book "Think and Grow Rich". Considering that he was of my grandmother's generation and his book is as accurate today as it was when he wrote it, one really has to think.
That brings us right to the point that thoughts become things. What we focus our attention on we attract. Here is the bio of Napoleon Hill from Wikipedia.I vaguely remember downloading the book "Think and Grow Rich" ages ago. Not sure if it is still on my computer. At that time I did not get it, it was just to foreign a way of thinking for me, but that was then, now I have a much better understanding of the Law of Attraction. So I did some research and found a lot of helpful info.
- YouTube videos of Napoleon Hill talking about his book.
- The book as a pdf file or as mp3 audio
- Free Think and Grow Rich video training series
- Read the book online
Then I vaguely remembered another book, that I found even more difficult to get into at the time by Wallace Wattles called "the Science of Getting Rich". But now I think it is a great complimentary book to Napoleon Hill. The book was written in 1910 and so even predates Hill's book.
As I asked in the beginning of this article are these ideas really new? I belief that if you wait long enough things repeat themselves and are presented as new ideas.
