This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :
CHAPTER 2 (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches
"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a
commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." Mario Andretti
To want something or to wish for something is not enough. We need to have a burning desire to succeed. Once we have
developed that all consuming desire to succeed, we will be persistent and succeed. Nothing will stop us, we will be
able to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
A strong enough desire will blow away all obstacles and energize body and soul. A strong desire will not be quenched by
failures and disapointment. So stoke up your desire and keep feeding it so it burns brighter than the sun.
I am grateful to Michael and Linda for creating MFF and the Mental Cleanse.
I am grateful to all who add their brilliance to this mastermind by speaking up and posting lessons.
I am grateful to all who download Success In 10 Steps and allow me to help them grow.
I am grateful to infinite intelligence for providing me with insights and hunches. I had no idea what I was going to
write until I started, then it just flowed.

P.S. "Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment." Marsha Sinetar
P.P.S "The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way." Robert Kiyosaki

Clean Out Your House Of Horrors
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that my good friend Ed Rands posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum about Chapter 15 of Napoleon Hill's Thank And Grow Rich:
When a person considers something to be valuable, they instinctively protect it.
Most people put their money into a bank because they believe it will be safer there than under their mattress. Important documents are often kept in a safe deposit box, or at least a fire resistant lockbox.
The US government supposedly keeps quite a lot of gold in Fort Knox, a place so well known for its security that it’s become a simile for impenetrable protection.
Corporations keep their research and development behind doors needing key codes, passcards, and biometric scans.
Houses have locking doors and windows. Higher levels of protection can include an alarm system. The top end includes trained dogs and armed guards.
Our mind, particularly our subconscious mind, contains what makes us who we are.
At the physical level, it runs all the autonomic functions that keep your body going. You breathe, your blood flows, your food digests and distributes to every cell without you giving it an aware thought.
It stores the information we’ve decided is useful, or at least might be interesting to share. The facts and figures and tidbits of knowledge.
It stores a lifetime of experiences. The images, the stories, the emotions, the meaning you interpreted from each event.
And it houses the most valuable communication device ever created. A device which can be trained to hear inspiration from the wisest, most powerful force in the universe.
Without my mind, I’d cease to be me. I’d cease to be anything but dead in an incredible hurry.
Sounds incredibly valuable to me. So why is it that so few take any precautions to protect it?
The untrained masses of the world treat their mind like an unguarded house. The gate is off its hinges, the door is flapping in the wind, and the windows are broken. Every bit of rubbish and riff-raff has taken up residence or at least shown up as an unwelcomed guest.
On the couch, seething and foam at the mouth sits Hatred.
Greed is staring out the window at the neighbor’s house, plotting how to take some of their things without being caught.
Superstition is in the kitchen, freaking out because a black cat just jumped onto the table, causing him to stumble backwards and tip over the salt shaker.
Out in the garage, revenge is sharpening a knife to a razor's edge.
Upstairs, anger is punching holes in the wall with bloodied knuckles.
Pacing around the living room is a hideous green monster of jealousy, ranting about how it should all be his.
What’s that rattling the closet door? Ahh, there it is. As the closet door is opened, Fear scrambles as far back into a dark corner as it can manage.
No protection, no security, no guard. These unwanted guests just sauntered, crawled or scurried in because nothing stopped them.
And that special communication system? It’s hiding under a tarp, shut down, unused and forgotten.
After reading chapter 12 of Think and Grow Rich, along with the rest of the rest of the book and the Mental Cleanse program, we are being educated on the critical value of our subconscious mind, and how important it is that it be guarded.
To put the gate back on the hinges, latch but not lock the door, fix the windows, and begin to systematically drive out the unwanted guests.
We’re being taught how to set and train the guard at the gate. A guard with a very specific list of positivity to allow to take up residence.
Desire seeks entrance. It’s wearing work clothes and comes running up to the gate. It’s radiating so much heat, it could set the place on fire. That’s okay, it’s a good kind of fire. Come on in.
In the bedroom, where it has been used and degraded, Sex is cleaning itself up and making itself truly alluring once more.
Enthusiasm climbs up onto the roof and shouts, “Woo-hoo! Let’s do this!”
Hope is in the backyard, pointing out the most beautiful sunrise ever seen, and how it’s the beginning of the most incredible day ever.
Romance has taken a seat on the patio, where it’s inspired to write a poem about how that sunrise just does not compare to the radiance of its lover’s beauty.
Faith is going about, quietly but confidently assuring everyone that the rebuilding can be done, that the dream and vision are possible.
Finally, as Fear is sent packing, Love comes up from the basement where it’s been locked away. The energy from it is incredible as it runs around hugging everyone, offering words of encouragement and getting to know everyone, building strong relationships.
Meanwhile, the special communication device is uncovered, cleaned off, plugged back in, turned on and tuned in. The volume knob doesn’t go very high, but when the house is still and peaceful, a voice can be heard offering inspiration, ideas and suggestions for an even better rebuild.
Solomon wrote “guard your heart, for out of it spring the issues of life.” Set up your guards, drive out the vermin and the riff-raff, perfect the protection system, and call in the incredible new residents longing to make a home in your mind.

The Brain -- Such A Marvel
This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that I posted in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :
CHAPTER 13 (Think And Grow Rich -- Napoleon Hill)
THE BRAIN: A BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING STATION FOR THOUGHT
The Twelfth Step toward Riches
The brain is a marvellous thing. In my opinion, no man made device could ever match it.
The brain consists of two parts, the voluntary and the involuntary. The involuntary part of the brain controls the functions required to keep us alive such as breathing and our heart beat. We can control our breathing to a certain extent. You can hold your breath for a while but eventually the involuntary will force you to breathe again. The involuntary part is programmed as soon as its functions are required by the growing fetus.
The voluntary part of the brain is a blank slate and must be programmed through trial and error. Witness the tot trying to walk for the first time. He learns the use some piece of furniture to stand up and hang on to for a few tentative steps. She will eventually let go and attempt a few steps on her own and fall down. By repeating this process time after time, he will eventually be able to take more and more steps so that eventually he will cross the room. In the process, the brain is learning what works best and uses this knowledge to improve performance.
This process is evident throughout our life. That is how we learn to ride a bike, drive a car, play a sport, solve puzzles. We use trial and error and practice. Theory will not help you much, practice is the only way to really learn anything. This means that no matter who you are, you can learn anything you set your mind to. Yes, there will be a lot of failure and frustration at the beginning. Michael Jordan became great because he practised and practised and practised until he became really good and even then he practised some more.
You can apply this to anything in your life, saying your self talk, talking to your students, leaving phone messages, etc.
The point here is that our brain learns through doing things over and over and over again. It learns from the mistakes it makes.
Of course, what makes the brain so marvelous is that it is also a receiving and broadcasting station for thoughts.
I am grateful to Michael and Linda for all they do to help the thousands who have the courage to grow into the person they were meant to be.
I am grateful to all who participate in the MFF calls and add their energy to the mastermind so that we can all re-energize.
I am grateful to all who download STS and allow me to help them grow into the person they were meant to be.
