Maybe you have heard or read what some other speaker(s) or writer(s) had to say about Napoleon Hill’s book titled “Think & Grow Rich”. Various people have quoted from this book many times and have testified to the usefulness of the ideas and insight provided by this legendary writer through that single publication – as well as others that followed it. But here in this piece I want to open your eyes/mind to and share with you ONE of the most potent messages given in that book for ANY reader who truly desires to know how to succeed in spite of ANY obstacles that may cross his/her path.

Here’s the quote: “There is a silent but irresistible force that comes to the aid of those who carry on in the face of discouragement.”

You see, I have found from studying human beings – adults especially – over the past two decades in particular that many people simply cannot deal with or endure prolonged hardship, adversity or delay in the “arrival” of that which they seek. The human nature is such that it seeks the easiest, shortest route to achieve a goal or desire.

People do not like to WAIT too long to get what they want. Technological and industrial advancements in the 21st century have made instant gratification even more fashionable. The Internet itself further fuels the “habit” through “instant downloads and access” to wide variety of high demand products and services.

In a way, I think our modern world has actually created a “weaker” generation of people who have gotten used to living “sheltered” lives in which everything they want becomes available to them almost as soon as they “think” about it or say they want it.

The problem that occurs as a result is that when things don’t go the way they want them, such people either give up quickly/easily or they turn to unethical avenues to achieve the same end. The message from Hill’s book however is that anyone who is able to PERSIST in spite of major delays in the “arrival” of success will get eventually support from an “unseen” source i.e. A silent but irresistible force.

Think about it: Who or what can possibly successfully anticipate and withstand a force that makes no sound and cannot be resisted? I say “No one and Nothing” can!

And think again about the fact that Hill says in order for you to get the HELP of that “force”, all you need to do is CARRY ON in your struggles (making intelligent changes as necessary in your approach) to succeed no matter how much failure, discouragement, delays or setbacks/adversity you experience.

And just in case you wonder how I know, I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that I have experienced many, many – VERY many - instances of HELP from this unseen force in truly amazing ways. I have many stories I can share about this. In my previous article and book writings, I have told some of those stories. Within the last four (4) weeks, I have had the unique opportunity to receive help from this “force” in VERY uncanny ways! I will be narrating specific examples of those experiences in subsequent articles.

Let me end by repeating myself: Napoleon Hill’s claim is true. Even if you have no single human being offering to help you – or aware of your need for help, for as long as you NEVER stop trying to achieve the goal you set your mind on, you will eventually find yourself the beneficiary of an uncanny kind of support from a totally UNKNOWN and completely UNEXPECTED source that will most likely leave you baffled indefinitely.
