My hope is that you’ll find something here that sparks curiosity, inspiration, or even a breakthrough in your own journey.

Last Month’s Read: Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill

This classic comes with a twist. Hill “interviews” the Devil himself to uncover the hidden forces that hold us back from success. Whether you take this literally, metaphorically, or as a creative thought experiment, the insights are undeniable.

Hill points to fear, doubt, and aimless drifting as the real enemies of growth. The “Devil”—internal or external—thrives on indecision and distraction. In today’s fast-paced world, these lessons feel more relevant than ever.

Mindset Shifts I’m Putting Into Practice

1. Get Clear on Purpose

Hill calls it a definitive purpose: a clearly defined “why” that becomes your guiding compass. I’m refining mine by breaking it into 5-year, 1-year, and even 1-month goals. Big dreams are built one intentional day at a time.

2. Catch the Moments

Transitions are sneaky. Between calls, driving, or walking into a meeting, my mind can wander toward worry or frustration. I’m practicing catching those slips and steering thoughts back to gratitude and positivity. Small resets can create a big ripple effect.

3. One, Two, Three, Jump

Before any task, meeting, or call, I pause and ask: Does this move me closer to my bigger purpose?
It’s a simple gut check that keeps me aligned, intentional, and focused rather than reactive.

Why This Book Matters

Outwitting the Devil isn’t just theory—it’s a mirror. It challenges you to see where fear, habit, or indecision may be running your life. For me, it’s been a reminder to trade hesitation for action, distraction for focus, and routine for purpose.

If you’ve read it—or decide to pick it up—I’d love to hear what resonated most with you. Drop a comment, send me a note, or share a book or mindset practice that’s been a game-changer in your world.
