Heroes of Healing
A group writing project

by Cath Lawson of Cath Lawson (Tips for Success in Business and Life)

I’ve chosen Napoleon Hill as my hero of healing. He was probably one of the first people who wrote about what many of us know as the Law of Attraction. And he devoted his life to researching what made some folk rich and successful.

Hill studied dozens of successful people, to discover what traits they shared. He explained how the Law of Attraction works and that it’s possible to achieve anything the mind can conceive. And that we can tap into a massive source of ideas, outside of our own mind. He also pointed out the fears and habits we need to overcome, in order to be successful.

What Catherine Lawson Has Learned From Napoleon Hill

I first came across Napoleon Hill’s work in the late nineties. I was just about to leave the bookstore but something drew me to the book, “Think & Grow Rich”.

When I first began reading Think and Grow Rich, I was still suffering from Post Traumatic Stress disorder. One of the first things the book did for me, was to encourage me to focus towards what I wanted in life, rather than concentrating on curing the illness.

And I gradually managed to overcome some of the setbacks and thoughts, which Hill described as barriers to success. I began studying and I started my first small Internet business. And I started to plan a future I’d previously thought I could no longer have. I followed the instructions in the book and read my goals to myself each day. I wanted to make a specific sum of money over 7 years, through writing. I didn’t specify the type of writing - I didn’t care, so long as I could write.

Although I did achieve my financial target, I found that most of the writing I did to get there was the writing of marketing letters. Obviously, next time I needed to be more specific. Also, I still had one huge hurdle to overcome. I’d been in a bad relationship for a number of years.

Napoleon Hill had mentioned that choosing the wrong partner in marriage was one of the biggest barriers to success. And whilst I knew that I had to end that relationship before I could be truly successful, it took a number of years to find the courage to do so. The trouble was, I was focusing on the bad marriage that I didn’t want, so my marriage just got worse and worse.

Hill’s work has helped me achieve things I never believed possible at one point in my life. And I know that many people have read “The Secret” but I found that it merely glosses over the Law Of Attraction. If you want to receive the full benefits, you’d be far better of studying Napoleon Hill’s work and also the work of Esther and Jerry Hicks.
