My dear reader,


Welcome, home.


I'd like to start the fourth of my "- Reminder." series with a poem from "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill.


Credits to Brandon T. Adams for sharing the poem and being a source of inspiration.


For out of the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow's will---

It's all in the state of mind.

"If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

"Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can!"


Have you recently thought that you're having some sort of 'writer's block' or you are simply out of ideas?

Maybe you were staring at an assignment or something you had to get done quickly, for hours.

But, it's a possibility that 'nothing came into your mind' at that moment.


For starters, I'd like to kindly say the source of that blockage, was you.

How?

Why?

There are a possible reasons:

  • Overestimation of the subject

  • Lack of concentration

  • Lack of confidence

  • ...

Or...

  • You simply didn't want to do it

And it's alright.



Now, I'm kindly asking you to ignore all of it for a moment.


Let's return to our main subject, you.


Your ideas are already packed in your mind, for you.

They are waiting for you to open them.

They are ready for you to develop them.

They know YOU CAN.

That's why they are there, in your mind.

However, you need the right password, the right way to open those packages.

Sometimes, cutting the package with a knife might destroy the subject inside it.

You'll have to be gentle, you don't know what kind of package you are trying to open.

It might be a letter, a box or a safe deposit.


Whatever your package is wrapped up with, you might currently have no knowledge of it.


You don't have to know it all.


It's possible that your package has your answer, ready for you and waiting for you to be ready, for it.


In addition, I believe time of life has its own unique way to function and nothing happens without a reason.


If you, for any reason after showing actual effort, it is not meant to be for the moment.


If you don't have the answer, you will have to discover and figure out the answer.


Or, just close everything, when you still have time, close your eyes and ignore everything that is going around you.


Give yourself some space.


You might think that you haven't done anything, but you somehow feel very tired. That's because your brain never stops working for you. It's thinking for you, helping you.


Let it be.


Just be aware of the perfectly designed system, physically going on inside your head.


Let's go back to your packages.


Your ideas are already packed in your mind, for you.

They are waiting for you to open them.

They are ready for you to develop them.


They know YOU CAN!
