Ultimately, Nothing Matters….Napoleon Hill

10 Secrets to a Balanced, Successful & Happy Life

Ultimately, nothing matters.

When you are grimly involved in getting, when the world seems to exist only with in your own circle of activities, when something you have built or bought begins to shut out the sight of the sun-remember, ultimately, nothing matters. Say it aloud: “Ultimately, nothing matters!”
A negative counsel? By no means. Ultimately, nothing matters. Everything matters in its time and in its place-and give everything its due. Yet reserve a small corner of the consciousness for the ultimate which maintains perspective, which recognizes the ages as well as today. It makes you more peaceful, it makes you more of yourself, and it makes you stronger.

We’re gathering resentment. And when it builds enough, that resentment can come crashing down upon our heads in a wave of vengeance.

The simple truth is that the world works better when humanity works together, rather than constantly striving for power.

How Restless is the Mind

How hard it is to control the mind! Well it has been compared to the maddened monkey.

There was a monkey, restless by its nature, as all monkeys are. As if that was not enough someone made him drink freely of wine, so that he became more restless. Then a scorpion stung him.
