IF...

Below are 55 Famous Alibis from Old Man “IF” by Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich. I bolded the ones that really hit home. At this time last year over half this list would have been highlighted; I truly have so much to be thankful for this very moment. Take it from me--go out there and make something for yourself in every capacity. There are no limits!!

What "IF" statement provided the biggest gut-check for you? There is T minus 16 days until the new year. I challenge each of to evaluate your "IFs" and work each day to abolish them before January 1st.

IF * * * and this is the greatest of them all * * * I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.
