12 Power Principles for Success

This four-letter word opens your mind to a never-ending flow of logical, practical reasons that will enable you to justify why you are not able to do something you want to accomplish.

you can accomplish whatever you visualize

Can’t is a word that paralyzes any constructive progress. Replace it with its polar opposite, I can, which is more important than IQ

I am responsible for my life, for my feelings, and for every result I get

Now permit me to share with you a few suggestions which, when acted upon, will guarantee your success and strengthen your winning position in life.
1. Reread this chapter once every day for the next thirty days.
2. Complete the what’s-good list about your position and your company. Carry it with you and read it twice each day for thirty days.
3. Look for what other people do well. When you find it, let them know you have noticed it. Do this until it becomes a habit.
4. Challenge your self-doubts so that they do not grow stronger, and notice how you grow stronger every time you challenge them.
5. Repeat this statement over and over to yourself: “I am spiritual, therefore I am more powerful than any negative situation I will ever encounter. I am a winner.”
6. If all else fails, get in the habit of laughing at yourself when you make a mistake and experience loss. After a good belly laugh, it is much easier to get back on track and make the winner’s choice of positive thoughts in the face of a loss. Try it. If crying makes you feel bad, laughing, which is the polar opposite, has to make you feel good.

I would suggest you read Dr. Bernie Siegel’s book Love, Medicine, and Miracles, or Catherine Ponder’s book The Dynamic Laws of Healing. Your mental attitude definitely plays an enormous role in the state of your health.
Remember this: One, you choose your thoughts. Two, everything is both positive and negative.
The best way to keep your attitude positive is to follow Dorothea Brande’s advice from her book Wake Up and Live! It may be old, but it’s effective. She said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail.” Think about it. If you develop the habit of thinking that way every time you encounter a challenge, this attitude will produce results that doubt and worry will never match.

Every one of them would have told you that you should not permit your present situation to influence your thinking or your decision making; regardless of your present situation, you should proceed immediately to set a goal, to achieve something so big, so exhilarating that it excites and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in harmony with your spiritual core that you cannot get it out of your mind.

This goal must be one that will dominate your thinking all of your waking hours. It will be a goal you must commit to. It will be an idea so spectacular that you will instantly relate to the quote from Alfred Adler: “I am grateful to the idea that has used me.” You must set a goal for which you will willingly trade the days of your life.

As you internalize your thoughts and become emotionally involved with them, you set up the second stage in forming an attitude. You move your entire being, mind, and body into a new vibration. Your conscious awareness of this vibration is called feeling. Your feelings are then expressed in actions or behavior, and this is the third and final stage in the formation of attitude, which produces the results in your life.

“A person’s life is what their thoughts make of it.” The results you achieve in life are nothing more than an expression of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
