The Determinant of Your Success

Perhaps the most powerful single factor in your personal success is your belief about yourself. We call this the Law of Belief. It says simply this: Whatever you believe, with feeling, becomes your reality.

Successful People Believe

We have a tendency to block out any information coming in to us that is inconsistent with our reality. What we’ve discovered is that successful people absolutely believe that they have the ability to succeed and they will not entertain, think about, or talk about the possibilities that they’ll fail. They do not even consider the possibility of failure

Positive Thinking Versus Positive Knowing

You always act in a matter consistent with your beliefs. The most important belief system you can build is a prosperity consciousness where you absolutely believe that you are going achieve your goals. We call this positive knowing versus positive thinking. Positive thinking can sometimes be seen as wishing or hoping when not fully understood. But positive knowing is when you absolutely know that no matter what, you will be successful.

The Foundation of Willpower

Another principle related to your beliefs is willpower. We know that willpower is essential to any success. Willpower is based on confidence. It’s based on conviction. It’s based on faith. It’s based on your belief in your ability to triumph over all obstacles. And you can develop willpower by persistence, by working on your goals, by reading the biographies of successful people, by listening to audio programs, by reading books about people who’ve achieved success.

The more information you take into your mind consistent with success, the more likely it is that you will develop the will power to push you through the obstacles and difficulties you will experience.

Beat The Odds on Success

Remember that success is rare. Only one person in one hundred becomes truly successful in all aspects of their lives. Only five percent achieve financial independence. That means that the odds against you are 19-to-1. The only way that you’re going to achieve your goals is if you get really serious about them. To succeed, you must get serious. You must get busy. You must get active. You must get going. Every little step you do counts.
