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

I thought I would feel sorry for the children at the children home (orphanage) but surprisingly I don't. I planned on coming to Ghana and becoming emotionally unbalanced due to their situations, but surprisingly I'm not. I thought without a doubt I would lose sleep at night thinking about the children's stories but I didn't. All the expectations I came to Ghana with were proven wrong because I judged a book by it's cover. I assumed these children would be living in the worst condition imaginable. It wasn't that bad. It's funny because my initial plan was to make a difference in the children's lives. Little did I know they would be the ones making a difference in mine... A very special boy by the name of Anuk was pretty shy towards me the first few days, but by beach day he had completely warmed up to me. Anuk-- autistic, is the smartest and happiest boy I was fortunate enough to have met during my time at the children's home. Not...

Long Bus Ride Home

The world is controlled by two forces. The highest of the two being a positive energy of GOD, Compassion, and LOVE. The other being the complete opposite; utterly evil, destructive and hateful, better known as The Devil. I grew up being extremely familiar with the opposing side due to my elementary school fame... I can remember countless times where I was the cause of someone crying at recess because I excluded them from whatever girl group, club or gang my friends and I had formed at lunch earlier that day. The Spice Girls were usually who we strolled around Recess pretending to be. But looking back I realize we were more like Destiny's Child due to the fact the revolving door was always open. I was Beyonce though, so I did the kicking out and the replacing. Always. I was one of three black girls in my entire school so I was different and people admired that. Innocent souls admire the significant things in life. Unfortunately back then I let the hype go to my head and an EGO ...

Custody Battle.

Lately my life has been lacking a sense of rejuvenation. I experience some days that are productive and others not so much. I'm constantly trying to work towards living the life I want to live instead of being satisfied with the life I'm living. It's almost as if nothing is ever enough. I'm pretty sure as a child life never seemed this complex . I can refer to a book I'm currently reading titled " Men, Money and Chocolate " to support my claim: "We're born with hearts that hold onto our dreams, keeping them safe from our negative rational minds. As children we follow our hearts all day long; we live according to our instincts and intuitions. But one day we stop listening to our hearts and start listening to the thoughts in our heads instead".  My life made so much more sense the short 2 weeks I was in Ghana. Like WOW. I had never felt so connected to my life in the 23 years I've lived it. My entire thought process converted over ...
