Napoleon Hill Applauds at the Movies
It’s been a month since there’s been a posting here. Changed my host and it took a while to get all the files put back in order. But with some persistence and some learning here we are again, ready to go.
Talking about persistence, my wife and I went to see the film Julie & Julia a couple of nights ago. I call it a “Personal Development” movie. Maybe it’s a new genre? but it could have been called “Think and Grow Rich – the Movie.”
Let’s start with Julia.
Wife. Bored. Not sitting around doing nothing, though. Tried a couple of things but didn’t fit with her inner self. Persistent with trying to find what would fit.
Then her husband asked, “What do you really like doing?” Desire. So away she went. Cooking school, even though she wasn’t welcome, was the misfit among the men and opposed by the administrator.
Goal. Write a cookbook in a form not yet available. Rewrite it when it is not accepted. Keep plugging.
Sexual energy. The love and encouragement of a spouse who, in spite of his own issues and life questions, helped keep his wife’s attention and focus on her goal. And in spite of not being able to have children, she used that sexual/mothering instinct and applied it to the completion of her goal.
Mastermind. Two other ladies who understood the importance of the project and applied their time and talent to help get it done.
Napoleon Hill would have been proud!
Then look at Julie.
Feeling helpless, useless, ineffectual in her job. But she also discovered a desire.
She set the goal, a deadline, a beacon with which to find some guidance, likely considered unattainable by anyone who might have heard of it.
Persistence, again. Daily. Every day. In spite of long hours and setbacks.
Mastermind, again, though not always so on board with her. Her husband first encouraged her, then had second thoughts, yet finally came around again. Eventually, due to the social interaction of the internet, encouragement came from strangers and readers and appreciative recipients of the energy expressed in her successes and failures.
Sexual energy, transmuted into productive action.
As a spellbinding thriller movie or even as a tearjerking heart tugger, this movie would not qualify. However, there lies within the story the bigger story of Goals and Persistence and Success, bringing Desire into Reality step by step.
It probably won’t replace Think and Grow Rich as a bestselling classic, but it makes a visual exclamation point to Mr. Hill’s lifetime work.

Thanks for the comment.
I would really love for you to explain what “people like me” means.
I have a feeling you are people like me! Plain, reasonably intelligent, wanting to be and become more and what we are destined to become.
Am I right?
