Book excerpt: The seeds of success are planted within you—just waiting to break through and grow . . . This is a self-help book with a difference. It contains no promises of financial success in twenty-four hours, no mystical secret buried within its pages. In this book, the emphasis is on “self”—because it’s within yourself that the answers lie. They’ve been there all along. Jack Hatfield, whose memoir Blessed with Tragedy recounted the transformational experience of caring for a premature daughter, shares the simple truths he’s discovered in Natural Success Principles. They are truths so often overlooked that they seem to be revelations of a new and exciting horizon—even though they’ve been a part of you from before you were born. Understanding these truths unlocks methods of reaching your goals, and reveals the complexities and difficulties we struggle with are not as challenging as they seem—once we are able to rediscover what lies within us.
