by Book-Note Gifts

Success equals good fortune and freedom from worry. It equals winning. Faith can actually move mountains. A lot of people do not believe that they can move mountains and this is why they do not even try. When you believe that you can do something, believing so will make it possible for you to achieve it. This belief will give rise to the skill, power, drive, and capacity to accomplish it. When you believe that you can do something, your belief gives rise to the how-to-achieve-it process.

If you think you might want to try something but do not believe that it will work, you are bound to experience failure.

Think big. Your success is directly proportional to the size of your thinking. Small goals will lead to limited achievement. Big goals will give rise to big accomplishments.

Excusitis to a higher degree is behind every failure.

What we need to do is to protect ourselves from the excusitis illness.

Tell yourself repeatedly that your attitude is much more important than your intelligence.

Do not focus on thinking that you should have started earlier. That's failure thinking. Think that you have begun now and your best years are ahead. That is successful thinking.

The next time you feel the urge to blame, scold, or complain to someone, ask yourself whether it is really important. You will avoid starting a fight this way. Choose your battles.

At times, people focus on small issues and fail to see the potential of an opportunity or situation. This kind of negative thinking blocks progress.

Ask yourself if it is really important before getting negatively triggered by something.

Avoid focusing on trivialities. Focus on what is important.

Stop using the word 'impossible' in your thought and speech. Think of something important you have been wishing to do but have not. Create a list of reasons why you can do it.

Nurture and feed your best idea. Then grow it. Give it some thought. Connect it to interconnected ideas. Read on and scrutinize it. Use it when the time is right to improve your life and future.
