      ROB - thank you so much for posting the Bruce Lee Desire Statement! I'm a student of Napoleon Hill and credit NH for turning my life around. His chapter on Desire is so powerful - and yes, it's important to be specific. I am so thankful for Think and Grow Rich. I'm on my 4th reading of the book.

    And here are the steps by Napoleon Hill for achieving your goal that Bruce Lee used:

    The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, :



    First.
    Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).

    Second.
    Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.)


    Third.
    Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

    Fourth.
    Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

    Fifth.

    Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.


    Sixth.
    Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ--SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

      This is great!! It is so important for people to know that the keys to success have not changed and that when we learn a new bit of knowledge, that we implement it into our own lives and become a better version of ourselves.

      It is just amazing to see that such huge stars were at the same point where we are right now at some time in their life.

      I mean it's obvious, but... somehow we need to be reminded of that from time to time.

        Tashi, it may be obvious, but we SO overlook the obvious sometimes! I love these kinds of reminders - so simple, yet so powerful.

        Have a great day!

        BTW, if anyone is interested, I join in on a free conference call on Thursday's in which we read and discuss Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" book. The call is led by Dawn Nocera, includes both men and women and is a great way to move forward in life w/ the principles of the book. We just started the book 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow's call is on the chapter "Faith." Anyone can PM me if you're interested, for the free call info.

        I'm looking forward to tomorrow's discussion, because i'm cynical about faith and am looking forward to how to integrate faith w/ the vibrational energy of thought.

    Definitely a lot of inspiring stuff from Bruce Lee. Being specific is definitely a good idea, as it gives clarity to what you want to accomplish and what you need to do it. I also like the story about when he went running with a friend...it's on my best friends Facebook and it is all about how you need to push yourself past your limits to ever get anywhere.

      It's worth reading Bruce Lees book the Tao of Jeet Kun Do... There's some real gems in there. It's not a real book book in the sense of sentences and paragraphs, more a collection of his thoughts and views.

    I was curious what other famous people are students of Napoleon Hill, so I did a google search for "students of napoleon hill". This very post/page on the Warrior Forum is currently number 5 on the list.

    Bruce Lee and Napoleon Hill. Two men that are worth emulating and had every success that every man would be very envy of but went through difficulties that any man would detest.

    Thanks for posting this it was definitely inspiring to see Bruce Lee's chief aim. I'm actually reading Think and Grow Rich right now and one thing is I need to really fix the exact amount of money I want.

      I think a lot of famous people read and use the book - but for some reason never talk about it. I've heard rumors that Bill Gates used it in the beginning and Donald Trump used it in the early 90's when he was almost bankrupt.

    Lovely post.

    A lot of people never get down to actually writing their definite chief aim. It's very powerful if you actually write it down instead of having a hazy idea in your mind what it is that you want to achieve.

    I wasn't aware that Bruce Lee was as follower of Napolean Hill.

    As far as picking the specific amount you want and the date you want it by... the actor Jim Carrey did that too! When he was broke and just starting out, he wrote himself a check for $10,000,000 - dated it for when he wanted the money - signed it and put it in his wallet.

    On the day the check became payable - he had just gotten a starring role for $10,000,000!

    I love great stories like that!
