believe you can succeed & you WILL

i read a book recently which has literally changed my life. mainly because it completely put in perspective so many negative mindsets that i've had for YEARS! luckily, i am not content with the person i am & so desperately want to grow in my life & situation. this book is incredible as far as equipping you attitude-wise to just overcome all obstacles in your life that are robbing you of your right to being the very best person you can. we all have unlimited potential, its such an intrigue to discover how we can keep getting better, don't you think?
i highlighted some key quotes from this book which stood out to me & i wanted to share them with you as well. doing it in one post will be way too long, so im just gonna break them down into chapters & post them in a series. however, these few quotes will never do the book justice, i'd honestly recommend anyone who wants to accomplish anything in their lives to read it-it'll set you straight on the path to SUCCESS....

excerpts from 'The Magic of Thinking BIG!'

BELIEVE YOU CAN SUCCEED & YOU WILL
Success means many wonderful, positive things. Success means personal prosperity. Success means winning admiration, leadership, being looked up to by people in your business and social life. Success means freedom: freedom from worries, fears, frustrations & failure. Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you.
Success means winning.
Success-achievement is the goal of life!
Every human being wants success. Everybody wants the best this life can deliver. Nobody enjoys crawling, living in mediocrity. No one likes feeling second-class and feeling forced to go that way.
Some of the most practical success-building wisdom is found in that Biblical quotation stating that faith can move mountains.
Believe, really believe, you can move a mountain, & you can. Not many people believe that they can move mountains. So as a result, not many people do.
You CAN move a mountain with belief. You can win success by believing you can succeed.
There is nothing magical or mystical about the power of belief.
The how-to-do-it always comes to the person who believes he CAN do it.
Think doubt and fail.
Think victory & succeed.
Believe in yourself & good things DO start happening.
Here is the first step toward success. It's a basic step. It can't be avoided. Step one: Believe in yourself, believe you can succeed.
How to develop the power of belief:

  1. Think success, don't think failure.
  2. Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are.
  3. Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.
Whether a man lags behind or moves ahead in his specialty is a matter of his own personal application. This is something which takes time, work, & sacrifice. Nobody can do it for you.
Nothing-absolutely nothing-in this life gives you more satisfaction than knowing you're on the road to success & achievement. And nothing stands as a bigger challenge than making the most of yourself.

im just gonna let the book speak for itself.....BELIEVE GUYS!

Hi
I love this book too, Schwartz has such an easy way of writing and telling a story. He proves that you don't have to be a genius or have exceptional talents to be successful, just learning to create the habit of Thinking Big.
Keep up the great work
