Neville Truncated

It has bothered me for some time that Neville's technique seems truncated. Napoleon Hill in the Law of Success deals with titans of industry and finance: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Neville seems to cut that down to "with no effort."

Someone else will make effort. Or die and leave you something. Reach out to contact you. Give you a gift. Or you will win at the races. You imagine causatively and believe . . . and forget it. You don't do a thing to achieve it except believe and wait. You need a house? Someone will offer to build it for you. You need a job? Someone will offer you one. Get you one.

I am not saying any of this is bad, or that it doesn't work, or that it isn't desirable. I am just noting that it is shortened, an abbreviated life. There is also causative imagining with effort which can accomplish great things. Like maybe creating the things you enjoy. Perhaps Neville was satisfied with his humble rental. Apparently. Nothing wrong with that. In fact I like it and am also satisfied with a simple, comfortable life. Contrite and content. I just wish my teeth were better than his. And also wish to say that applying effort to accomplish the big things you imagine is all right, too.
