I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, but developing love for all humanity because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will succeed by attraction to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. Unless built upon truth and justice therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure.

I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment. I know through the principle of autosuggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it, therefore, I will devote 10 minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self confidence. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for 30 minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action. Here is “The Self Confidence Formula” from Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”: And now that the book is copyright free, I thought it would be more than appropriate to share with you now. It further dawned on me you probably have never read Hill's self-confidence formula. It further dawned on me that none of these formulas or goal-setting instructions are worth a penny unless they are accompanied by your self-confidence - unwavering self-confidence. You will most likely receive 100 emails about how to set goals, how to have your best year ever and other secret formulas to attract wealth and fame. It dawned on me this subject probably would be the least written about coming into the new year. And as I head into the new year, I want to make certain that I have a full dose of it.

My morning read consisted of this passage from Napoleon Hill's immortal book “Think and Grow Rich.” It is all about self-confidence. If you want to gain new self-confidence, look for old information.
