How Can One Control the Mental Attitude?
by Napoleon Hill
The starting point of control of the mental attitude is motive and
desire. No one ever does anything without a motive, or motives, and the
stronger the motive the easier it is to control the mental attitude.
Mental attitude can be influenced and controlled by a number of factors, such as:
(1) By a BURNING DESIRE for the attainment of a definite purpose based
upon one or more of the nine basic motives which activate all human
endeavor.
(2) By conditioning the mind to automatically choose and carry out
definite postive objectives, with the aid of the EIGHT GUIDING PRINCES,
or some similar technique which will keep the mind busily engaged with
positive objectives, when one is asleep as well as when one is awake.
(3) By close association with people who inspire active engagement in
positive purposes, and refusal to be influenced by negative-minded
people.
(4) By auto-suggestion through which the mind is constantly given
positive directives until it attracts only that for which these
directives call.
(5) By a profound recognition, through its adoption and use, of the
individual's exclusive privilege of controlling and directing his own
mind.
(6) By the aid of a machine by which the subconscious mind can be given definite directives whole one sleeps.
