Faith.
Faith, which gives the confidence to achieve our desire. Of the positive emotions, those are the most powerful. They are of three types. Faith, love and sex.
Faith means that we repeatedly direct our subconscious mind. Towards your desire, towards your goal. If in your subconscious mind, your faith has taken home. If it proves to be true, it is never too late.
If negative things, we will fill our mind. Then it will have negative consequences. If positive instruction, we will give to our brain. So it will have positive results. Whatever your goal. Write it down, repeat it over and over. So that a clear picture of that is formed in your mind. Like if you want to build a bungalow. So a clear picture of that should be in your mind. How will this dream house of yours be? What facilities will it be equipped with?
Auto – Suggestion.

Specialized Knowledge.

If you do not have specialized knowledge of that thing. So you will not be able to do that work.
Another way is through the mastermind group. If you keep a mastermind group with you. That is, a group of people who are the masterminds of that work. Then with the help of that team, you can do anything. Its the best example. Henry Fort, who, due to his team, created a world fame company of 1 Billion Dollar.

Conversion of sex energy. Means the transformation of one element or energy into another. People take sex only as physical pleasure. But Napoleon Hill, sees three possibilities behind it. The first possibility is the perpetuation of mankind. Second – increasing health. The third possibility is the most important. A mediocre person can become a genius through transformation. If sex energy is converted into positive energy. So any man can become a genius.
Some people, because of sex, put themselves down. instead of lifting it up. Napoleon Hill explains. Man has the greatest driving force. desire to please the woman. Which is coming from the Prehistoric age.
If you remove the women. So many works will become dull and lifeless. But the transformation of sex is necessary. If this energy is used in other creative work. So it can make even the biggest of impossible things possible. But a man wrapped in sex, can never be successful.
Control of Subconscious Mind.
Controlling the subconscious mind. The subconscious brain, is that area. In which the things that are conveyed by the conscious mind, through the five senses. All of them are recorded.
It captures thoughts and images. Be it, whatever it may be. If we will bring positive thoughts to our subconscious mind. So he will keep a positive backup. The same if negative thoughts will reach. So negative backup will keep.
Some positive sentiments are being mentioned by Napoleon Hill. Which is- Desire, Faith, Love, Lust (sex), Enthusiasm, Romance and Hope. Which comes in the category of negative emotions. Which we always have to keep away from our mind. It is fear, jealousy, hatred, greed, anger, vengeance, blind faith.
A Fresh Brain.
Our brain works in two ways. There are two types of systems in our brain. One is the broadcasting system. The second is the receiving system. The power of the mind is intangible. History is witness.
