Watch, and *listen* closely. You can hear that the guys are just a little nervous and cautious in the opening phrases, but after they sing the word “time”, they ‘live’ the song, live in ‘the now’, and give a great performance!

It really is a FANTASTIC example of performing in The Zone! During this performance, for all of these musicians – especially the lead-singer/organist/flutist – nothing else exists in the entire universe except ‘the now’ and having a great time putting on an amazing show!

As they say, it’s an oldie, but it really is a goodie :)

See and hear Napoleon Hill talking about the mind.

“What the mind can conceive and beleive, the mind can achieve. “
