The Most Important person you will ever meet

I have an inter­est­ing story to tell in this post. I heard this story from Napoleon Hill and I just thought I would share it with you.

A cer­tain tramp came to Napoleon Hill for advice. As he came to Hill he talked about all the wrong that was hap­pen­ing in his life and how his life had been such a mess and how he really needed some­one to help him get his life back together. Here is what Napoleon Hill told the man and I quote

‘‘I have lis­tened to your story with a great deal of inter­est,
and I wish I could do some­thing for you, but there is absolutely
noth­ing that I can do.’’
Iwatched him for a fewsec­onds. Het­urned white and looked as if he
were about to faint. Then I said, ‘‘But, there is a man in this build­ing to
whomI will intro­duce you, and that man can put you back on your feet
in less than six months if you will rely upon him.’’ He stopped me and
said, ‘‘For God’s sake, lead me to him.’’ I took him out into my
lab­o­ra­tory and stood him in front of what looked to be a cur­tain over a
door. I reached over and pulled the cur­tain aside, and he stood face to
face with the per­son to whom I had promised to intro­duce him,
look­ing him­self squarely in the face, in a tall look­ing glass.
I pointed my fin­ger at the glass and said, ‘‘There is the only per­son
on earth who can help you, sir; and unless you sit down and become
acquainted with the strength back of that per­son­al­ity, you might just
as well go ahead and ‘punch a hole in Lake Michi­gan’ because you will
be no good to your­self or to any­one else.’’

Now those words that Napoleon told the man changed his life around. He finally realised that the prob­lem was not the world, his neigh­bours, the gov­ern­ment, the stock mar­ket etc. The prob­lem was him and if he made a deci­sion to change his des­tiny at this moment then he could change it.

We all need to stop blam­ing every­one else for how our life is turn­ing out and try to look the man in the mir­ror and tell him that in no uncer­tain terms are we going to allow who we are right now to stop us from being all we are des­tined to be.

Stop play­ing the blame game and decide today to take respon­si­bil­ity for your own life!!!
