The most Inspiring Book I've ever experienced.

"The man with the most definite plan and purpose, rides on to victory."
– Napoleon Hill, author of Outwitting The Devil

 We spend a great portion of our lives in the educational system but during it's entirety we never learn the great importance of The Purpose of Life. Nor do we get any clarification on how to attain it for that matter. The curriculum doesn't include anything beneficial for succeeding in life... I've never once applied Math, History, English or Science to achieving my hopes and dreams. Since 2008 when I graduated from high school I've been on the pursuit of happiness while being financially, emotionally and spiritually unhappy. It wasn't until 2011 when I truly experienced failure, that adversity would be the most important subject I'd learned from in my 21 years of living.  And boy oh boy was it my saving grace. However this post is not about the flaws of the educational system or my shortcomings. It's more of a book review...


So about 3 months ago I began reading this amazing PHENOMENAL piece of literature that personally I prefer to call a bible. In a nutshell the book discusses all of the limitations we as human beings have been taught, as well as created for ourselves. It relates to my life, everyone's life in every single way possible. I would say it changed my life–  in better words, saved my life. It can benefit you just as much as it's benefited me.


Have you ever watched the episode of Full House when little Michelle had the dilemma of choosing between the imaginary Good Angel or Bad Angel located on her shoulders? Or possibly on an episode of The Simpsons, Family Matters, Lizzie McGuire or practically any sitcom when the choice between Good or Bad was an issue? These are representations of someone wrestling with a temptation. Two miniature versions of himself, an Angel and a Devil, sit on each shoulder and try to pull him in different directions. The character usually chooses to listen to the Good Angel and with that choice follows a positive outcome. What the television sitcoms don't include in these episodes is the most profitable information I gained from reading "Outwitting the Devil". That good angel, bad angel is always present in our minds, from birth up until death and possibly even beyond that.


Don't let the title fool you. This book is not religious nor does it discuss anything you hear in church. It is simply a guide to live the life you want to live. Napoleon Hill conducts an interview with the Devil that will alarm you. The answers were so disturbing that I became aware of things that I subconsciously ignored and brushed aside throughout my entire life. 

I became familiar with techniques the devil used to keep me enslaved, unsuccessful and unhappy.

I figured out how I sabotaged my life for 5 years. 

I learned why I've made excuses rather than solutions.  

I realized the devil had control over my thoughts, habits, and life.

I became extremely familiar with the devil. 

This book will grant you insight on how to break horrible habits that stunt your growth. Most importantly, if you are a lost soul like I was it'll help you regain control over your life, no matter your situation, circumstances, or environment. If you're not already thinking about picking up this incredible book here are a few powerful excerpts from Napoleon Hill's Outwitting the Devil

As a child growing up, I remember when Princess Diana died. My mother and grandmother stared at the television screen in disbelief for hours. Much like they did on September, 11th 2001. There reactions were very similar to the deaths of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and much before my time Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy.  All of these events in history directly effected people all over the world because we all feel . Rather we knew the people that died on 9-11 personally or just grew up with certain individuals like Michael and Whitney, their absence from this world was instantly felt.  We're all the exact same creatures with the exact same emotions. We feel sadness and happiness the same way someone of a different nationality, race, sex, and religion feel . We all came into this world the same way someone of a different ethnic background did. We all deal with setbacks as well as comebacks the same way someone of a different social class does. We all share t...

Goverment Shutdown/ Avonte Oquendo

The government is shut down. While the bar on the corner of K street is still open for business. Yet, the man who makes his living off of this bar has little to no business because most of his clientele consist of government employees. The government workers will still be paid. The FDA has to cease most of their food safety operations. So I ask, how healthy and organic is the food we buy at Whole Foods in actuality? During the shutdown, the Department of Agriculture will stop supporting the Women, Infants and Children  (WIC) program, which helps pregnant women and new moms buy healthy food and provides nutritional information and health care referrals to those who need it. The program aids some 9 million Americans. As long as the government is shut down, the National Institutes of Health says it will turn away roughly 200 patients each week from its clinical research center, including children with cancer. Kids with Cancer will be turned away from treatment. There are some 1,600...

2013

In less than 12 hours, I'll be traveling to Ghana, Africa to volunteer at an orphanage for 2 weeks. I'm fortunate to be able to start the new year off on a continent I've never been to, adapting to a totally different lifestyle than the one I've grown accustomed to for the past 23 years. Since the thought to volunteer internationally crossed my mind back in August, I haven't once doubted myself when it came to carrying out this plan. My spiritual connection with the universe has grown to the point where if I decide I want something, I will ultimately attain it. I do sometimes question certain situations but my faith in creation and the universe is so strong and powerful that very few things keep me uncertain.  At the time of my decision to travel, I had a good amount of money saved up to buy a car. I had been saving all summer for a 2010 Camry. Little did I know "Man arranges plans, and GOD rearranges them" because a few weeks shy of purchasing my car my ...
