Think and Grow Rich test: Are you permitting someone to worry you?

My answers to the Think and Grow Rich Self-Assessment Test

Recently, I was reminded of the self-assessment test in Napoleon Hill’s best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich.

There are fifty-four questions in that test, and I’m going to be giving my answers and thoughts on one or two of them as close to daily as I can manage. I may miss a day here or there, but I’m going to follow through until I reach the end of the test.

I’ve started the series of posts with:

Question Number 12. Are you permitting a relative or friend to worry you?

Another easy question.

No, I’m not permitting a relative or friend to worry me.

The longer answer, fortunately, is just as definite. None of my relatives and friends are doing things that would worry me. I’m neither worried about them nor are they doing anything to worry me.

I’m very fortunate to have a very supportive and loving group of friends and family.

The last few years, I was almost always worried about Mom, but I think that is understandable. It was a bit ironic, since Mom was the worrier in the family. When I was much younger, I started paying her $1 per year to do my worrying for me and gave her that extra dollar every year for a long time.

(It really didn’t make much difference. She would have done the worrying for free.)

What about you?

Are you permitting a relative or friend to worry you?

Act on your dream!

    2. Yes, but in this case, it’s family that’s not doing well, so I guess that doesn’t count.

    So, otherwise, I’d have to say no.

    3. Good morning, Mitch.

    When it comes to worrying about our family, especially when it relates to health problems, I don’t think it counts. How can you love someone and not worry when they aren’t well?

    All the best,

    JD
