Demand Life's Best
By Napoleon Hill Criticism has been leveled by some people because they feel there is too much consideration for the material things in life. If we seem to overemphasize the importance of money and material riches, it is because so many people let fear of poverty ruin their chances to enjoy the other riches in life. The real good there is in money consists of the use to which it is put and not the mere possession of it. True happiness consists not in the possession of things, but in the privilege of self-expression through the use of material things. They are but a means to an end - physical instruments of impression and expression. You must have money in order to enjoy freedom of body and mind, which is a choice blessing. A person cannot be really free if he must be chained to a routine job most of his waking hours and receive in return for that a mere subsistence. If a person has to pay that much for existence he is paying too high a price! These lessons will give you the formula for breaking with past habits of accepting the crumbs from life's table, and teach you a proven way in which you can rid yourself of self-imposed limitations and enjoy your fill of life's riches. But let anyone who imagines that he does not want money try to get along without it. He will soon find out that one of the worst crimes a man can be guilty of is to be poverty-stricken and broke. Let us be realistic enough to face the facts of life, and demand from life the best that it can give. |
