Think & Grow Rich

I read Think and Grow Rich when I was 17.

There was supposedly a hidden key in the book.

Napoleon Hill said it was mentioned throughout every chapter, but never directly revealed.

I looked for it, but never found it.

I read the book again, and didn't find it.

And again.

For months, up to a year, I read the book every single day.

Eventually, the idea finally clicked.

The secret wasn't some complicated formula.

It was simply:

Go after what you want without stopping.

That's it.

And the strange thing is how obvious it sounds.

Look at anyone who has achieved something they genuinely wanted.

The common denominator is incredibly simple:

They didn't stop.

Look at the opposite.

People who failed to achieve what they wanted eventually stopped pursuing it.

They got rejected. They got embarrassed. They lost money. They got tired. They found something easier.

And eventually, they stopped.

Ask someone why they didn't achieve a goal, and you'll rarely hear:

"I'm still striving towards it."

You'll almost always hear an explanation for why they stopped.

Go after what you want without stopping.
