Hypnotic Rhythm
What is hypnotic rhythm? Would you believe this universal law can be used to gain permanent mastery over human beings? According to Napoleon Hill, any impulse of thought the mind repeats over and over again, forming a habit, develops an organized rhythm. In order to prevent unwanted habits from forming, they must be broken before they undertake the proportions of rhythm. In other words, any thought which is constantly repeated through habit reaches the proportion rhythm and as a result, nature makes the habit permanent. The essence of hypnotic rhythm is to attract permanently all habits, mental or physical one thinks about most. Ex. If your mind fears illness, your mind will attract illness. If your mind commands prosperity and awaits it, your mind will draw the physical and financial equivalents of prosperity. As we think about this, it is easier to understand why both success and failure are a result of thought- habits. Habits create one’s rhythm of thought, and that rhythm attracts the target of ones dominating thoughts.
Drifting
Ok, so you’re probably wondering what drifting has to do with any of this. A drifter is someone who allows himself to be controlled and affected by circumstances outside of his own mind. This individual would rather permit negative energy and thoughts, which come from the devil, I know I went there, to occupy his mind and do the thinking, rather than go through the trouble of thinking for himself. In simpler terms, a drifter is someone who accepts anything life throws in his way without putting up a fight. Once you drift in one direction, soon you will be drifting in all directions. In reality, drifting and procrastination are the same. A habit which causes one to put off reaching a goal (procrastination) leads to drifting.
