My initial understanding of Napoleon Hill’s Tenth Step to Riches Sex Transmutation, in his famous book “Think and Grow Rich” has evolved into a deeper understanding over the years. When you read a book over and over again you get different nuggets from it each time. You could also get the same epiphany from listening to your favorite musical “album” you have listened to that “album” many times and never heard track #4 at all before. The track did not mysteriously appeared, it just seem as if it did. That track #4 like the word in this book has not changed over the years. You are the person who has changed over the years. I have now read these concepts about six times and have evolved to different level of understanding each time. I am a different person and at a different level of understanding each time I read this book. I have been about to use a form of transmutation with each reading. Transmute is the changing or transferring of one element or form of energy into another.
I thought originally that the tenth step to riches of Sex Transmutation was about abstaining from sex and using that reserved power to achieve my goals. I have now expanded my thinking and believe that harnessing the power and using it to achieve a higher plane of understanding is the key ingredient to success. This mode of operation would allow you to attack your endeavors with a renew concentration and determination. Long distance and marathon runners push their bodies beyond what the average human being could endure. The difference is that marathon runners uses the pain to motivate them to keep going. What part of your life are you pushing through the pain? The average person gives up too quickly or gets attracted to the latest and greatest marketing concept.
Runners get into a zone where the desire to quit is overshadowed by an intense willpower to continue running. David Goggins, winner of the McNaughton Park 150 mile run states that “when you think that you are done. You are only at 40 percent of what your body is capable of doing”. Ultra marathoner achieves a greater level where the human body is pushed even more.
The runner has to fight internally with the “wall”, where the desire to quit becomes stronger and stronger. Willpower is easier said than done, but the ultimate reward is substantial. The stronger your willpower the closer you will be to being successful. Sex transmutation is an excellent example of having to get into that “zone” to combat something that is so natural. Sexual expression is a natural part of your life. Napoleon Hill step to riches are timeless and present a practical guide on how to become successful. Sex transmutation is a great component in achieving success. I will continue to read “Think and Grow Rich” at least once per year, so I know that I will gain more knowledge each time.
