It’s quite black and white in the way the book is presented, but the bottom line is that it is up to the individual to persist with their goals in order to overcome obstacles.
Jack Hatfield watched his premature daughter struggle to survive and miraculously, she did. This inspired him to write Natural Success Principles because he realized that everyone is born with these principles along with the will to survive inside of them. He shares that there is also a subconscious desire that exists in all people to succeed.
If negative friends or actions are dragging an individual down, Jack Hatfield says to simply get rid of them. People who complain and/or gossip too much are a negative drain. Life is short and it makes sense to associate with and learn from successful positive people.
Natural Success Principles Will Help With:
Negative Self-Talk
Jack Hatfield explains how to replace negative words and actions with positive ones. He also points out the positives of failure and encourages everyone to keep trying.
Increasing Self-Esteem
Ways to increase self-esteem are explored such as using positive affirmations, repetition, visualization and suggestions for overcoming the fear of success.
Helping Others
Instead of putting people down, Jack Hatfield encourages people to lift them up. Too often people get hung up on what others are doing wrong rather than learning how they can help them.
Managing Stress
A certain amount of stress is necessary in order to feel motivated, but if it becomes unbalanced at work or at home the consequences can be damaging. There are good pointers in Natural Success Principles (Morgan James Publishing, 2009, ISBN: 9781600376672) for balancing and managing stress.
Jack Hatfield’s explanation about how it’s necessary to change views and thoughts about the self in order to eliminate a victim mentality is accurate. His intentions are to help, but he could have made his point and left out judgments about abused women and people who suffered from hurricane Katrina.
- Anyone looking for straight talk on how to take the initiative without allowing circumstances control them coud benefit from the Natural Success Principles: Everything You Need to Succeed Was Inside You Before You Were Born. There’s a workbook on Hatfield’s website that offers ongoing support to supplement the book’s success principles.
