Why Men Seldom Succeed Before Age 40

Napoleon Hill had a theory that men seldom succeeded before the age of 40 because they dissipated their energy through over-indulgence of sex.

Here are some excerpts on his thinking as written in Think and Grow Rich:

"I discovered, from the analysis of over 25,000 people, that men who succeed in an outstanding way, seldom do so before the age of forty."

"This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty, is their tendency to dissipate their energies through the over-indulgence in physical expression of the emotion of sex."

"The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend mere physical expression."

Here's my take:

From my studies on sexual energy – leaning on the likes of Mantak Chia and David Deida – it's not so much about the over-indulgence in sex, rather it's the over-indulgence of ejaculation.

As these teachers espouse, ejaculation is the releasing of vital life force that could otherwise be transmuted into love, creativity and the driving force behind your purpose.

As Deida says in his book The Enlightened Sex Manual:

"One of the main effects of too-frequent ejaculation us a very subtle spiritual dullness."

I can't help but agree with aspects of all of these teachings.

As a man who spent most of his live over-indulging in sexual pursuits and ejaculating far too often, I felt that spiritual dullness and dilution of my life force.

In fact, it was during an 11-month abstinence period from sex, masturbation and ejaculation when I decided to change my entire life – leaving a 15-year career in corporate to live my life's mission of helping men achieve their potential.

All that extra non-ejaculated energy needed somewhere to go…so here I am.

If this is speaking to you, I encourage you to listen to today's episode of The Great Man Within Podcast.
