If you are sure you are right, don’t worry about what the world thinks.
If you are ever to achieve personal success in your life, you must be willing to stand apart from the crowd. Success is something that is achieved by the minority, not the majority, of people. As you climb the ladder of success you may 
discover that there are a few who, out of jealousy or envy, will disparage your achievements.
If you have the mental strength and courage of your convictions, nothing can discourage you from your mission. You develop a warrior mindset of confidence in your beliefs by doing your own personal development, mental strength thinking and by constantly testing and revising your knowledge. I suggest looking into W. Clement Stone’s R2A2 Principle to Recognize and Relate, Assimilate and Apply information from any field to help solve your problems and direct your thinking….adapt and continue.
As you adapt and continue you’ll discover something about yourself…you’ll discover your hidden assets.
Here’s what Dr. Napoleon Hill says about using your hidden assets.
“Each of us has locked within us all that is necessary to achieve wealth and greatness. It’s merely a matter of learning to use these hidden assets, of investing them so to speak, so we can cash in on them.
The tragic thing is that so many go through life without ever putting them to use. Sometimes, trouble and adversity is necessary to make people use their resourcefulness and brain power to achieve success.
A bookkeeper lost his job as Christmas was approaching. He had no money to buy his 10-year-old son a gift. Instead of merely despairing, he went to work making the boy a gift.
Using two wheels from a discarded baby carriage, a few pieces of lumber from the basement, and some bright red paint, he constructed a toy that captured the attention of the entire neighborhood.
Other children wanted similar toys. The demand grew so fast that the unemployed bookkeeper turned his basement into a factory, then moved his production to a real industrial plant.
The toy the bookkeeper designed was called the “scooter.”
Or consider the case of a soldier returned from World War I. He had been a salesman before the war but was not unemployed. He used his hidden assets too. He took a chunk of ice cream, stuck a stick in it for a handle, dipped it in chocolate covering—and the Eskimo Pie was born!
Then there was a young man working as a filling station helper in Dallas. The work was hard, hours long, pay short—all adding up to a state of mind I call “constructive discontentment.”
The young man began selling for a publisher of children’s books. But instead of approaching parents, he made friends with school teachers and got their permission to tell the children in class about his books.
Then he would ask the children to arrange an appointment with their parents so he could sell them the books. The plan worked wonderfully and the last time I saw the young man he was preparing to go into the publishing business for himself.
Have you searched carefully for any “hidden” resources you’ve overlooked simply because they weren’t in some form you could bank immediately?
Have you some plan or idea which might prove of great value if you brought it into the open and put it to use?
A very successful man once gave this splendid formula for gaining wealth.
“Get some useful item that will bring repeat sales,” said he. “Then put everything you have into taking it to the millions of people who need it.”
His name was F. W. Woolworth. He didn’t create anything new. He merely took something old and gave it a new method of sales distribution.
The opportunities our country offers today are greater than ever—and growing constantly. Think, for example, of the millions to be made by someone who devises some simple method of reducing traffic accidents.
Somewhere you have unused assets. Put them to work for you and make yourself financially independent.” – Source: Success Unlimited. December 1966, pp. 33-34.
Did you notice that the individuals ‘hidden assets’ where discovered under adversity? This is main principles of developing mental strength, to seek out ‘resistance’ so that you can train your mind (and discover your hidden assets). If life was easy we would never find our hidden assets or build our personal empowerment.
We must have resistance, struggle and adversity in order to grow!
What’s one situation that at first seemed ‘bad’ or ‘negative’ that actually uncovered a hidden asset or helped with your mindset? Let me know in the comments below.
