Think only of success. Believe with all your being that it is yours.
In doing so, you can only succeed! – Marshall Sylver
Most people expect to fail. That is an unfortunate reality. Those who succeed and reach their income and life goals do just the opposite. They expect to succeed. They think only of success. Do they fail? Yes. All the time. Because they expect to succeed, however, they keep going. They keep taking action. They learn from setbacks and failures and change their tactics.
Most people recognize the name Richard Branson. He and a few friends founded the now mega-company known as Virgin. It might surprise people to know that Sir Richard Branson had numerous failures that financially devastated him. Rather than quitting and just taking a job, however, he kept going. He harnessed talent and was bold in his approach to life and business. He expected success, he demanded what was required of himself, and he eventually set things in motion that made him a fortune.
Thomas Edison failed in his attempts to produce the light bulb thousands of times. Yet we use it every day now, largely without even thinking about it. He expected success. He didn’t care about failure, he wanted success and demanded it of himself.
George Washington spent a large part of The Revolutionary War fleeing from superior forces. The colonists and their fledgling army was no match for superior British finances, manpower, and organization. Yet some strategic negotiations and careful planning produced an end result that created a nation. And what a nation it is! Failure preceded victory in the USA’s struggle for independence many many times.
Danielle Steele completed several novels that were never publsihed, before finally having a successful publication. Now she is a bestselling novelist.
JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter book, The Philosopher’s Stone when she was on welfare. She is now a billionaire!
These are but a few examples, and clearly failure has preceded success in all of these cases. The people involved focused on doing what they loved, expected to succeed, and refused to accept failure as the final result.
Think only of success. Believe in it. Do what you need to do to succeed, and you will.
