Believe you CAN succeed and you WILL

Extracts from The magic of Thinking BIG - David Schwartz

• Success means many wonderful, positive things.

• Success means personal prosperity: a fine home, vacations, travel, new things, financial security, giving your children maximum advantages.

• Success means winning admiration, leadership, being looked up to by people in your business and social life.

• Success means freedom: freedom from worries, fears, frustrations, and failure.

• Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you.

• Success means winning.

Success-achievement-is the goal of life!  Believe, really believe, you can move a mountain and you can. You can win success by believing you can succeed.
 
There is nothing magical nor mystical about the power of belief. It works this way:

• Belief, the "I'm-positive-I-can" attitude, generation the power, skill, and energy needed to do.

• When you believe I-can-do-it, the how-to-do-it develops.

• Belief in great results is the driving force, the power behind all great books, plays, scientific discoveries.

• Belief in success is behind every successful business, church, and political organization.

• Belief in success is the one basic, absolutely essential ingredient in successful people.

• Believe, really believe you can succeed and you will.

The "Okay I'll-give-it -a-try-but-I-don't-think-it-will-work" attitude produces failures.

Disbelief is negative power. When the mind disbelieves or doubts, the mind attracts "reasons" to support the disbelief.
Doubt, disbelief, the subconscious will to fail, the not really wanting to succeed, is responsible for most failures.

Believe in yourself and good things so start happening. Your mind is a "Thought factory, producing countless thought in one day.

Imagine that Production in your thought factory is under the charge of two foremen. One of whom we will call Mr. Triumph and other Mr. Defeat. Mr. Triumph is in charge of manufacturing positive thoughts. He specializes in producing reason why you can, why you're qualified, who you will.

The other foremen, Mr. Defeat, produces negative, depreciating thoughts. He is your expert in developing reason why you can't, why you're weak, why you're inadequate. His specialty is the "why-you-will-fail" chain of thoughts.

Both Mr. Triumph and Mr. Defeat are intensely obedient. They snap to attention immediately. All you need do to signal either foreman is to give the slightest mental peck-and-call. If the signal is positive, Mr. Triumph will step forward and go to work, likewise, a negative signal brings Mr. Defeat forward.

To see, how these two-foreman work for you, try this example. Tell yourself, " today is a lousy day." This signals Mr. Defeat into action and he manufactures some facts to prove you are right. He suggest s to you that it's too hot or it's too cold, business will be bad today, sales will drop, other people will be on edge, you may get sick, your wife will be in a fussy mood. Mr. Defeat is tremendously efficient. It is a bad day. Before you know it, it is a heck of a bad day.

But tell yourself, " Today is a fine day," and Mr. Triumph is signalled forward to act. He tells you, " This is a wonderful day. The weather is refreshing. It's good to be alive. Today you can catch up on some of your work." And then it is a good day.

Mr. Defeat will convince you that you will fail while Mr. Triumph will demonstrate why you will succeed.

Now the more work you give either of these two foremen, the stronger he becomes. If Mr. Defeat is given more work to do, he adds personnel and takes up more space in your mind. Eventually, he will take over the entire thought manufacturing division, and virtually all thought will be of a negative nature.

The only wise thing to do is fire Mr. Defeat. You don't need him. You don't want him around telling you that you can't, you're not up to it, you'll fail, and so on. Mr. Defeat won't help you get where you want to go, so boot him out.

Use Mr. Triumph 100% of the time. When any thought enters you mind, ask Mr. Triumph to go to work for you. He'll show you how you can succeed.

Those who convert opportunity into reward will be those wise people who learn how to think themselves to success.

Walk in. the door to success is open wide than ever before. Put yourself on record now that you are going to join that select group that is getting what it wants form life.

Step: believe in yourself, believe you can succeed.

SUMMARY:
How to develop the power of belief.
Here are the 3 guides to acquire and strengthen the power of belief:

1. Think success, don't think failure.

• At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking.

• When you face a difficult situation, think, "I'll win," not "I'll probably lose."

• When you complete with someone else, think, "I'm equal to the best," not "I'm out-classed."

• When opportunity appears, think "I can do it," never "I can't."

• Let the master thoughts "I-will-succeed" dominate your thinking process.

• Thinking success condition your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite.

• Failure thinking condition the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.

•  

2. Reminder yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are.

• Successful people are not superman.

• Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success.

• Success isn't based on luck.

• Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do.

• Never-never-never -sell yourself short.

3. Believe Big.

• The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.

•  Think little goals and expect little achievements.

• Think big goals and win big success.

• Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier-certainly no more difficult than small ideas and small plans

Nothing -absolutely nothing in this life gives you more satisfaction than knowing you're on the road to success and achievement. And nothing stands as a bigger challenge than making the most of yourself.

Think: THERE IS NOTHING INCONSPICUOUS ABUT SUCCESS.
