How to Develop the Power of Belief.

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.

In difficult situations think "I will win" not "I will probably lose".

When competing, think, "I am equal to the best" not "I am outclassed".

When opportunity appears think "I can do it", never "I can not".

Let the master thought "I will succeed" dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.

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

Successful people are not supermen. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success is not based on luck.

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

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.

Big ideas and Big plans are often easier, and certainly no more difficult than small ideas and plans.
