 The
master key to Greatness is putting into effect the law of habilitation.
Throughout history few minds have fully understood this law and
its profound implications.
In
fact only those who have been intimately involved in experimenting
with the keys to higher education have realized it. And it usually
has been after many decades of research and experience.
Dr.
Napoleon Hill, the groundbreaking personal development author of last
century who researched hundreds of individuals of highest achievement
(and who is a central figure in the content of this course), - only
came to realize the law of habituation towards the end of his life.
After
working with hundreds
of the highest achievers in the world and putting together the major principles of success - he only
saw this 'missing piece' last, while working with W. Clement Stone. As he expressed, this understanding
was the culmination of his life long study into excellence.
He
called this the 'Cosmic HabitForce Law' and defined
it as 'the greatest of all natural laws, for in effect
it unites all success principles':
"HabitForce is nature's comptroller through which all other natural laws
are coordinated, organized, and operated through orderliness and system...
All of your successes and failures are results of habits you have formed"
Dr. Napoleon Hill
 Similarly,
Dr. John Dewey, perhaps the most influential educational philosopher of last
century
noted:
"All
habits form our effective desires and they furnish us with our working
capacities. They rule our thoughts, determining which shall appear and
be strong and which shall pass from light into obscurity.
Formation
of ideas as well as their execution depends upon habit. A wish gets
definite form only in connection with an idea, and an idea gets shape
and consistency only when it has a habit back of it."
The
Law of Habituation is a enormously powerful principle. In
fact, one of the first persons in our history to consciously use and
apply this principle in a major way, was Alexander the Great.
By the
mastery of this law (within the mindset and values of the times),
he conquered and unified most of the known world, was undefeated in
battle even against enemies vastly superior in strength and number,
instituted some of the first systems of universal education and strategic
planning... and all in all, permanently shifting the destiny of
our civilization.
All
this was possible because Alexander the Great had one of the best 'life-coaches'
of all time, Aristotle. This
master philosopher, (who was in turn coached
by Plato, who was in turn coached by Socrates), taught
the 'HabitForce principle' to Alexander and challenged him to establish
Great habits from a young age.
Greatness
has a simple formula Aristotle wrote:
"Greatness
comes about as a result of habit!
We become just by doing just acts,
temperate by doing temperate acts,
brave by doing brave acts.
We
are what we repeatedly do.
Greatness, then, is not an act, but
a habit."

| And
it makes perfect sense doesn't it?
Your greatness
or mediocrity, your successes or failures, your wins or loses in life are
not the result of one incident, and it is not an 'all or nothing
affair'. It is a gradual and compounding process.
Failure
for example, is not something that 'just happens'.
It
is the result or the fruit of a long series of choices that were
made or not made. It is the fruit of choosing to think
in a particular way. It is the fruit of the purpose that is pursued
day in and day out. It is the fruit of the consistent actions
taken or not taken. It is the fruit of the person brought out in
conversations, the words chosen to say or not to say.
All
these factors add up. Horace Mann, the father of American public
school education used to say, "habit is a cable; we weave
a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it."
 In
fact, by far the most common way to failure,
is by the habitual act of casualness and complacency towards the small
duties and vices of life. As the poet John Dryden
put it:
"Ill
habits gather by unseen degrees, —
As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas."
Your Greatness, your successes and wins are also compounded habits.
Like
for Alexander, you realize Greatness by the process of gradual
compounded accumulation of good disciplines. It
is not an overnight thing. You reach it when a sufficient
amount of effective 'small habits', stack up on one another, to
ultimately construct a big achievement.
Success
is the accumulation of choices to think positively - when it's easy
to be pessimistic. It is the accumulation of pursuing the purposes
of love, truth, beauty and freedom. It's a series of small constructive
actions like these, which accumulate over time into a
mighty stream.
A
successful man or woman may enjoy a lifestyle that is 10 times,
100 times or 1000 times more affluent than another, and it is not
because of their intelligence or quantity of labor they do. That
is impossible. It is always done through quality,
- through consistently getting better at small tasks. In
short, it's in their habits.
In
fact, if you were to take one message out of this letter, it would
be for you to remember, that high achievers, self-actualizers
or holy men and women, - are simply those with achievement habits,
with self-actualization habits, with holiness habits.

You
don't need more Information.
You need the Practice and Habituation!
If
we first shape our habits, we can then have our habits shape
us.
Information
about what to do abounds. The internet is super-saturated by
it. Just put in an idea on a search engine and millions of pages show
up. It's very easy to get overwhelmed. We surely cannot read
it all, and surely it's not all of equal value and benefit.
That's
why most make so little gains from personal development. That's
where most 'lose it'.
They jump from program to program, from book to book, from idea to
idea and never really integrate anything solid into their character.
For
when who you are in habit doesn't change,
- nothing changes for you.
Change
is wholly dependant on who you habitually are.
When your habits change, - everything changes.
We
all are where we are today, because of the habits we had yesterday,
- and we cannot be somewhere better tomorrow, without habituating
a better mode of being today.
