Believe in Yourself: The power for success

“A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.”

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870);
Writer, Author

Believe in yourself!

What was written almost a century ago by Napoleon Hill remains true until today. 

He said:  

 

To be successful you must become a person with a great capacity for belief....and the place to start believing is with yourself.

Recognize that you were born with the privilege  to take  complete control of your own mind and make it give you whatever you demand in life.  The Creator never intended for you to beg for anything in your life. 

You can have whatever you want if you have a capacity for belief, to direct your mind to whatever you want and off the things you do not want.

Applied faith is the only means by which the master key can be appropriated and used.

To create the mental attitude  favourable for the expression of faith:

1.  Know what you want and believe that you can and will get it

2.  Give expressions of gratitude many times daily for having received that  what you want, even if you haven’t received it  physically  yet...possession first starts in the mind...

3.  Keep your mind open for haunches from  within, and when you are inspired to action, do not wait but move on your personal initiative at once.  There can be no application of applied  faith without action.

4.  When overtaken by defeat as you may be many times, remember that man’s faith is tested many times before he is crowned with final victory.  And accept your defeat as nothing more than a challenge to keep on trying.

5.  A burning desire of the thing or circumstances you want is the  starting point of all  applied faith.  Be definite, believe and act. And keep on acting even if at first you may encounter defeat.

6.  When doubt creeps into your mind, remember that whatsoever  a man believeth, that he shall also reap.   

Remember, faith is not something you get , faith is something you already have.  But you may be using it in reverse gear by believing in the circumstances and things you do not want, the things you fear.

 Remember also  that faith is guidance only, it is not a power which will bring you what you want, but a power that  can guide you to go after what you want and get it.  Remember also that your faith is limited only by your own capacity to believe.  You can do whatever you make up your mind to do.  

Good luck on your lifejourney to success!
