A great book - It tells you, in plain and simple ways, just how wrong your attitude can be, and what is the way to achieve success.
We wrongly assume that success is something which happens by chance - Shiv shows us how we can systematically work towards it, with a 100 % guarantee of achieving it !!
A great book, but one to be read slowly, and systematically, using the advice in practical situations.
Positive Thinking is the KEY to success
Steps to follow :
Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture. Never think of yourself as failing; never doubt the reality of the mental image. That is most dangerous, for the mind always tries to complete what it pictures. So always picture success, no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.
Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal powers comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it.
Do not build up obstacles in your imagination. Depreciate every so-called obstacle. Minimise them. Difficulties must be studied and efficiently dealt with. To overcome them, they must be studied for what they are, and must not be inflated by fear thoughts.
Do not be over-awed by the success of other people, and try to blindly copy them. Things are not always what they seem. Nobody can be you, as efficiently as you can. Develop your own system for success. Most people seem to radiate confidence in their appearance and demeanor, even though they may be as doubtful and worried as you may be.
Doubts make a person more careful, and thus definitely successful.
- At least ten times a day, repeat the words ’’ If we are true and God be for us, who can stand against us’’. If we are on the side of honesty and truth, no power on earth can withstand us. Ultimately we will crush all lies and deceit.
Be in no doubt about your own power of good, and feel the strength flow through your body.
- If constantly plagued by self-doubts, arrange to meet a competent Counselor, to clear all misconceptions. Very often, the origin of all self-doubts or inferiority complexes can be traced back to some incident in childhood.
We fear the unknown; consequently, knowledge and proper analysis of the facts will often cure such mental blocks and clear the path to success. The only real obstacle, in your path to success, is the mental block in your own mind.
Repeat to yourself everyday, that - nobody else can do your job as well as you can, no matter what doubts you may have of your own abilities, provided you honestly put in your best efforts;
If still unsure of the future, put yourself in God’s hands. If you are on the side of good, trust God to steer you in the right path.
