Success Strategies: Belief and Belief

 When I talk about faith, most people automatically assume I'm talking about religion. Not me. Faith and belief are the key ingredients to a successful endeavor.

According to Webster's Dictionary, belief is 1. loyalty; Faithful to your promises. 2a1) belief in the traditional teachings of a religion, 2b1) firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. that buyer will show up, confidence that the investment money will come to get things started, and confidence in your ability to "make it happen". Two famous wealth-building books that I recommend to all employees are :

 1) The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles 

 2) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Both authors write extensively about faith. 

The first book :

 it can be found in the "Thinking a Certain Way" chapter. To quote him: “Behind that purpose, there must be an invincible and unshakable BELIEF that the thing is already yours, that it is “at hand” and all that remains is for you to possess it.

 In the second book :

 the third chapter is called FAITH, and to quote, "Faith is a state of mind that can be induced by autosuggestion.

A synonym for belief is belief, and it is commonly used interchangeably. Webster's definition of "believe" best describes what I mean: "to have a firm belief in the reality or goodness of something hoped for. Before it can be realized, it must be visualized.

This is the act of belief: seeing it as real before it is. Every successful person has acted from a position of faith and belief in what they wanted, whether they knew it or not. You'll hear a successful person say, "I knew it would work. A winning athlete will tell you that they were fully focused on winning, imagining that they were going to win, and letting no doubts arise. Doubt is the opposite of belief. 

Why do some people fail while others succeed under the same circumstances? Ultimately, it's up to the belief system of the individual, and that belief system operates at a subconscious level. So to be successful, you have to look inside yourself and take stock of your belief system. I found myself that although I thought I had "believe," I was operating from a position of doubt. That's why I haven't been successful for so many years.

As I began to study the concepts of belief and belief, my eyes were opened to a  new way of thinking and I began to thrive. Embrace the concepts of faith and faith. Make your dreams come true by using your imagination to “see yourself”, to be, do and have your dreams and they will come true. Try it. You'll see!

Edit... delete the word "try". Instead, have a “get it done” attitude. People who try allow themselves to fail. Successful people don't provide themselves with room for failure. They commit to something they want and invariably persevere.

That way, when the going gets tough as they do with anything worthwhile, you can keep going and not give up. You may say, "Help me with my unbelief. "How do I get faith? :

- First, set a goal. 

- Make it personal and very important to you.

- It should be something that excites you. 

- imagine yourself experiencing the fulfillment of that goal.

- Make sure to include your emotions in this visualization. The act of believing is visualization.

- persevere until your wish is granted. That’s the way it works.
