In
order to accomplish anything, you need to believe first that it’s possible.
Most people never really believe in themselves, and as a result, they never get
far. The moment you truly believe that you will succeed, your mind starts to
think of ways to get there. It’s counter-intuitive, but in order to achieve the
kind of wealth that brings long-lasting fulfillment, abundance, and happiness
to one’s life, we often need to get out of our own way. We need to let certain
beliefs go, not do more based on the ones we’ve got.
Perhaps
the most powerful single factor in your financial success is your beliefs about
yourself and money. We call this the Law of Belief. It says simply this:
Whatever you believe, with feeling, becomes your reality. Whatever you
intensely believe becomes your reality. That we have a tendency to block out
any information coming in to us that is inconsistent with our reality.
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. 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 to achieve your financial goals.
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 willpower to push you through
the obstacles and difficulties you will experience.
Your
beliefs act like a set of filters that screen out information that is
inconsistent with them. You do not necessarily believe what you see but rather
you see what you already believe. You reject information that contradicts what
you have already decided to believe, whether or not your beliefs, your
prejudices, are based on fact or fantasy. This is especially true with regard
to money.
The best
belief that you can develop within yourself is that you are destined to be a
big success financially. When you are absolutely convinced that you are a
financial success in the making, you will engage in the behaviors that will
make it come true. If someone else is doing better, it is largely because he
has developed his natural talents and abilities more than you have. He has
learned the laws of cause and effect that apply to his life and finances before
you have. But anything anyone else has done, within reason, you can probably do
as well. You just need to learn how.
