Last time we talked about Dr. Elmer Gates' fantastic problem solving.
Today we’ll talk about Thomas A. Edison and Luther Burbank.
These stories were uncovered by success strategist Napoleon Hill.
Edison had a system for attracting infallible sources of knowledge.
The great inventor used his subconscious mind during "catnaps."
When he needed the solution, he lay down for 15 minutes of sleep.
He stated clearly what he wanted his subconscious mind to reveal.
With his catnaps Edison refined and completed his inventions.
The great horticulturist Luther Burbank had his own system.
He was mysteriously guided to many of his horticultural "miracles."
He had disciplined his mind to follow carefully-set habits.
Napoleon Hill believed there are two types of minds.
One has been conditioned to believe in success and finds it.
The other has been conditioned to expect failure and finds it.
If men like these could condition their minds, why don’t we?
That’s a challenge for all of us in the new year.
