Self-confidence Formula
Written by Napoleon Hill on Think and Grow Rich:
1) I know that I can achieve the object of my definite purpose in life. Therefore, I
demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment. And I here
and now promise to render such action
2) The dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in
outward physical action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality.
3) I know through the theory of autosuggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in
my mind will eventually seek some expression through some practical means of
obtaining the object or position I desire.
4) I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim and I will never
stop trying until I develop sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
5) A) I realize that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and
justice. I will engage in no transaction that will not benefit all whom it affects. I
will succeed by attracting to myself the forces that I wish to use and the
cooperation of other people
B) I will induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve them. I will
eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism by developing love for
all humanity for I know that a negative attitude toward others will never bring me
success.
C) I will cause others to believe in me because I will believe in them and myself. I
will repeat this formula aloud once a day in full faith that it will gradually influence
my thoughts and actions so I will become a self-reliant and successful person.
