"Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and
right efforts will inevitably bring about right
results," wrote James Allen, author of 19 books on personal
development and achievement. His second book, As a Man
Thinketh, is considered his best work and was actually
published due to the determined prodding of Allen's wife.
Accomplishment. You have often been urged to keep a personal
journal of "victories and achievements" throughout the year,
and to read them often. This is not for the purpose of
becoming full of yourself with ego-maniacal conceit, but
rather to solidify your attribute of self-confidence.
Of all the character traits necessary in the accomplishment of
your goals, self-confidence - or lack thereof - tops the list
in controlling the results you will achieve. Self-confidence
is responsible for how far you progress, and for the
limitations you put upon yourself. It is the charge that will
carry you into the battle, or leave you cowering in a cave of
self-defeat.
Break out of the mold that inhibits your ability to achieve.
Your success is not dependent on the way you were raised, or
on the belief systems of your parents. It is not dependent on
your past poor choices, or on the burden of your current
situation.
You have total control over your personal beliefs. You can
make choices that will enhance your life, create joy, and
propel you toward the ultimate "big picture." You may meet
with some difficulties, but who ever said the path was without
a few rough stones? You are an extraordinary person who has
abilities and talents that no one else has.
"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No
machine can do the work of one extraordinary man," wrote
Elbert Hubbard, author of the essay, “A Message to Garcia”
(1899), a lesson in duty and efficiency based on an incident
in the Spanish-American War.
When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess
superhuman powers to achieve," said Napoleon Hill. Strong
desires are very empowering. Once they are released, they can
rocket you toward success at the speed of light.
