In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill shared a concept so powerful, it became a cornerstone of Ross Garcia’s teaching: The Law of Two Envelopes.
Imagine life hands you two invisible envelopes at birth.
-
Envelope #1 holds the rewards of discipline, focus, service, and persistence—success, wealth, peace of mind.
-
Envelope #2 contains the consequences of neglect—failure, regret, worry, and unrealized potential.
Every action you take is a choice between envelopes. Are you investing in growth… or in avoidance?
At Garcia University, we teach our students to recognize the envelope principle in real-time—and to build habits that activate the rewards envelope, day after day.
This isn’t just philosophy. It’s how you take control of your destiny.
You don’t get what you want—you get what you earn.
