money and time, where money is the cheaper of the two. Time is your most

costly resource which, if wasted, can never be recovered.
For success, you must have true, burning faith in your ability. You must

infuse yourself with this faith every day. Talk to yourself, tell yourself
how strong, smart and successful you are. Convince yourself, believe in
yourself, and simultaneously gain knowledge, knowhow, and take a risk…

take action.

Believing in Success

Believing in your ability is the key to success.
If you limit your belief, you limit the results in kind. If you convey belief

in your ability to your brain, there is no limit to what you can achieve.
We are not born with this kind of belief. We gain such beliefs and develop
them throughout our lives. Current negative beliefs can be exchanged for
new, positive ones. If you lack faith in your capabilities, try to look back
and find the source, perhaps in childhood, religious belief, or politics.
From our earliest childhood, we develop in the shadow of our parents.
In my childhood I was not taught to initiate, take risks, or reach financial
independence. I was taught to choose the safest options because my
parents felt that was correct, either because that is how they were raised
or because certain life circumstances shaped these views. Most people do
not develop opinions and beliefs independently, but inherit them from
parents and the media.

As a condition for breaking out beyond the framework in which you
currently exist, develop independent beliefs of your own, adopt them
warmly, and take command over your future. If you’re ready to formulate
a new belief, then choose a task, preferably a tough one, perhaps even one
in which you failed in the past such as losing weight or quitting smoking.
If your gut reaction to this task is, “Wow, that’s too tough, it doesn’t sound
doable…” then you’ve chosen the perfect option!

A Five-Step Plan
Here are five steps to formulating, internalizing and realizing a new belief:

FIRST, repeatedly embed your new belief into your mind. Like
every belief you’ve developed over your lifetime, a new belief must be
meticulously implanted within your mindset. Repeat your goal over and
over to yourself until you firmly believe in your ability to achieve it.
