Nostradamus's Secrets of Success!
 

Hi Gordon,

Nostradamus agreed! Here's what Nostradamus had to say.... :)

Quatrain 1,1

Sitting alone at night in secret study;
it is placed on the brass tripod.
A slight flame comes out of the emptiness and
makes successful that which should not be believed in vain.

Here is where success begins.... It often begins with a thought, it could be while "sitting alone at night". Usually, at least to begin with, people keep their ideas to themselves, "in secret study."

Then it begins to turn to a "slight flame" which "comes out of the emptiness" -- bringing something new where there was nothing there before....

Belief in your dream is fundamentally important, which is why it "should not be believed in vain."

And finally, when the dream is believed, it "makes (it) successful"!

Wow.... Do you think Nostradamus foretold "Think And Grow Rich" ? :)

(By the way, that's a real quatrain from Nostradamus.... The very first one. Centuries volume 1, quatrain number 1.)
