Believe you CAN succeed and you WILL
Believe That You Can
-
Success is never ending. But if you want to win, you just
have to believe you can. The ?how to? will follow
Success
means many things. It could mean personal prosperity in the
form of a good home, holidays every year, financial security
for the family, etc. Success could also mean being an
acknowledged leader, being admired and respected by
colleagues and being popularly accepted as an " all right "
person among your social friends. Success can also mean
self-respect, continually finding real happiness from life,
being able to do more for those who depend on you and whose
love and affection you value so much. Success could mean
freedom from worries, fears, frustration and failure.
Above all, SUCCESS means WINNING !
As Robert Schuller said, ?Success is never ending.? It is a
continuous process which every human being thirsts for.
Everybody wants the best that life can offer. Nobody likes
to live in financial mediocrity. Many a time, I start my
SUCCESS Seminars with a simple question.
" When
does a person really achieve success ? "
Invariably, the response is as varied as it is immediate.
The answer is very simple. It all starts with your thoughts
and more importantly, your BELIEFS.
It is said that faith can move mountains. If you believe
that you can move a mountain, you can. Disbelief goes hand
in hand with failure to achieve. I can actually hear someone
sneer ' It's nonsense to think you can make a mountain move
away just by saying " Mountain, move away ". It simply is
not possible.'
People who think this way have confused belief with wishful
thinking. Sure, you can't wish away a mountain. You can't
wish yourself into a better job. Nor can you wish yourself
into being a dynamic leader.
Believe you can succeed
Belief generates the power, skill, and energy needed to
succeed. Belief gives birth to the "I can" attitude. When
you really believe " you can", then the "how to do It"
develops automatically.
All over
India, young people fresh out of school / college, are
starting their careers every day. Each of them "wishes" to
achieve success some day, "wishes" to enjoy the fruits of
reaching the top. And do you know why the majority of these
young people do not reach the top? Simply because, they
really do not believe that they can reach the topmost rungs
of success. Their thinking is " average " though they may
wish to be " super stars ". The minority of these young
people do believe that they will be successful. Their
approach to work is totally different from the vast
majority.
Their
attitude is " I AM GOING TO THE TOP " and their belief in
themselves is total.
Believing that they will succeed, they observe and study the
attitudes and mindsets of those who are acknowledged
successes. They are willing to learn how successful people
approach problems, and solve them by the decision-making
process. By observing and implementing the examples set by
successful people, they also become successes.
The "
how-to-do-it " ALWAYS comes to the person who believes "
he can do it ".
A couple friend of ours, decided way back in 1984, to sell
encyclopaedias to families in India. They were advised by
their well-meaning friends that their project was crazy,
that nobody buys encyclopaedias for their homes in India,
that the market was so limited that they would wind up in
debt. Another factor against them was their total lack of
experience in this field and , of course, their next - to -
nothing bank balance. But this couple had BELIEF in
themselves and their ability to succeed. They accepted their
drawbacks but they also had the foresight to see that home
reference books would be the need of the day for harassed
parents wanting to give children a head start in school.
They admitted that they might make some mistakes but they
would correct them ON THEIR WAY TO THE TOP. They were sure
of their success and today their success story in the book
business is only too well known.
Belief,
STRONG BELIEF, triggers the mind in figuring out the ways
and means and the " how-to-do ". Believing that you can
succeed makes other people place confidence in you.
Those who believe they can move mountains, do so. Those who
believe they can't, cannot.
Belief Triggers The Power To Do
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 and /
or political organisation. Belief in success is the one
basic , absolutely essential ingredient in successful
people.
Believe,
really believe you can succeed, and you will. Over the
years, I have spoken to many people who have failed in
business ventures and in various careers. A lot of reasons
and excuses for failure have been given. Something
especially significant unfolds as you talk with a failure.
In a casual sort of way, the failure drops a remark like, '
To tell the truth, I didn't think it would work ', or " I
had my misgivings before I even started out, " or "Actually,
I wasn't too surprised that it didn't work out ".
The " Okay - I'II - give - it - a - try - but - I don't -
think - it - will - work " attitude ALWAYS 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 fall, the not really
wanting to succeed, is responsible for most failures.
Think doubt, and you will fall.
Think victory, and you will succeed.
Every person is a product of his or her own thoughts.
Believe Big. Adjust your thermostat forward. Launch your
success offensive with honest, sincere belief that you can
succeed. Believe big and grow big
