Jim’s Secret Thoughts

“Yes. Shall I say it again? A shift of consciousness.
You cannot solve the problems which plague humankind through governmental action or by political means. You have been trying that for thousands of years.
The change that must be made can be made only in the hearts of men.
Can you put the change that must be made [...]

IMAGINATION was the topic of chapter 5 of the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill which we studied tonight in our MASTERMIND Group. Imagination is a faculty of the Intellectual Mind.
