“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” Lao Tzu

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

I first read this book in my early adult years. I think my parents purchased for me perhaps because they saw my obsession in money and creating riches. At that time the content struck me as new and very abstract. It was insightful and inspiring yet at times a little over my head. Life moved on and in most part so did the teachings of this book.

Think and Grow Rich is an all-time best seller and the principles it teaches about success in this book are in most part timeless. For those seeking riches in life this is a powerful read with practices that I believe will bring results if followed consistently and correctly. However, it is not only about money creation. I believe it can bring riches to all aspects of life. (more…)

Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave. Mary Tyler Moore

In this Episode Joshua describes how he believes the best way to greatness is by starting with what you can, no matter how rough, then improving with practice.

He then says that either you like what you hear or you don’t. If you like it, please tell Leigh to help encourage him. If you don’t, find a newer recording from him in a few months, when he’s confident he will have improved, and use his improvement to motivate yourself to take on a challenge you’ve put off for too long. You’ll improve too. (more…)
