Welcome to the Daily Standards view of the 13th and final Principle towards riches, from Napoleon Hill’s famous book ‘Think and Grow Rich’.
The 13th Principle towards Riches; The Sixth Sense
Remember that time when you just knew about something, without any presentable facts? Or the time/s you just knew something about someone, even though you had no facts, or could demonstrate how you knew?
There are five senses through which you perceive things and with which we use to make sense of and make our way in the world. They are:
- Sight
- Touch
- Hearing
- Smell
- Taste
However, research over 25 years by Napoleon Hill, when he interviewed 500 of the world’s most successful men and women, lead him to understand how nearly all of them have a secret advantage which they trusted and utilised daily, another sense which is not listed above. These hugely successful people used different words to describe this other sense to Hill. Yet he concluded that the ‘hidden advantage’ was the ‘Sixth Sense’!
This so-called sixth sense includes all the forms of intuition and insight, such as hunches, gut feelings, instincts, premonitions, first impressions, instant dislikes, instant likes, auto trust, suspicions, mistrust, and even love at first sight (how did you know when you knew???).
Trust your instincts, your hunches and intuition – Because they are your Sixth Sense speaking!
When Napoleon Hill finally wrote Think and Grow Rich, there was no doubt in his mind this principle works.
Hill devised a questionnaire for identifying success characteristics that were administered to approximately 25,000 individuals. The focus of this chapter is Hill’s finding that most high-powered and successful people listen to their gut feelings and pay attention to their hunches, with no evidence! Not all the time, and not with all things, but successful people believe that a good part of their success is because they trust their hunches, intuitions and premonitions.
Can you really rely on your 6th Sense?
Yes, You Can!
The key to making your intuition and insight a part of your reliable thinking process, is to treat your hunches and gut reactions just as you would any other information that you use to make decisions.
As you work to improve your ability with this technique, it will help you to keep in mind that your intuition isn’t something outside trying to get your attention. Your intuition is just you making yourself known to you. Your intuition is what you know that is buried just below your consciousness and it knows far more than what you can gather with your 5 senses.
I follow my intuition hugely and often. Especially when there is no evidence provided by the other 5 senses. I’m doing what the greats in history have done. I’m relying upon my Sixth Sense to guide me and to direct me! As Standard each day!
“The Sixth Sense, in my opinion, gives a huge advantage in life to anyone who is willing to open their mind and as Standard, each day, begin to rely upon that sixth sense.” Derek Mills
