The Real Reason Napoleon Hill Never Spoke to His Brother Again After 1925

Описание: The Real Reason Napoleon Hill Never Spoke to His Brother Again After 1925
Spring 1925: Hill meets his brother Vivian. One conversation. After that, 40 years of silence until Vivian's death in 1965.
What Vivian said: "I don't believe in what you're doing. I never have. This success project is a fantasy. Carnegie fed you lies. You're wasting your life. Worse—I think you know it. Deep down, you know this is pointless. But you're too proud to admit you've wasted 17 years. Give up. Get a real job."
Hill's response: "You're projecting your own fear onto my life. You're telling me to give up my purpose because you never had one. I cannot be in relationship with someone who fundamentally doesn't believe in who I am. That doubt is poison. I choose my truth over our relationship. This is goodbye."
40 years later, Think and Grow Rich had sold millions. Vivian was wrong. But Hill never reconciled. "I loved my brother. But I loved my purpose more. That decision saved my life's work. I will never regret it."
The lesson: Some relationships, even family, are incompatible with your purpose. Family loyalty is not the highest value. Truth is.
Comment "Truth over loyalty."
