Through the application of the principle of constructive thinking you can attain your worthy goals. The natural outcome of living by creative principles is creative results. Believe and create is a basic fact of successful living. You can make your life what you want it to be through belief in God and in yourself.

One thought you must always hold is that you can attain a higher level for your life. Few people realize their real possibilities. Many believe that ‘ordinary’ people must remain ordinary all their lives. That concept is false and a slander on human nature and on the God who created you.

Every individual forms his own estimate of himself and that basic estimate goes far toward determining what he becomes. You can do no more than you believe you can. You can be no more than you believe you are. Belief stimulates power within yourself. Have faith in faith. Don’t be afraid to trust faith.

Why do some people seemingly have the touch of failure? Why do things go so wrong for them, and so often? Why do they experienced an ever accumulating series of irritating frustrations, their projects and plans so frequently going badly? In most cases, analysis reveals that ineptness is inherent in the individual, rather than in the circumstances. If things continually go wrong for you, perhaps the psychology of wrongness is in you and should be corrected.

Before you can change the circumstances and your external situation, you must first change your inner self.

Do not waste time complaining about conditions or about other people. Honestly face the possibility that your thinking may be wrong; that your trouble may be within yourself. It isn’t that you lack ability, but rather that your mental slant and approach is tinged with failure thoughts and, naturally, failure follows.

Also, your attitudes may be harsh, critical and unfriendly toward other people, with the results that they withdraw from you without themselves understanding the reason. In subtle ways a lack of personal inner harmony is quickly reflected in inharmonious personal relations. And your relationship with other people are profoundly important to your own successful living.

It is so important to emphasize that a basic factor in successful living is not how much you know or how hard you work, although neither is to be minimized. The most important factor is what you believe and how sincerely you believe it.

If you think you are beaten you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you want to win but think you can’t
It’s almost a cinch you won’t;
If you think you’ll lose you’re lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all that in the state of mind.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

So if you believe you can do it, you definitely can do it. No matter what kind of success you desire in your life, you must first believe that it is possible for you to achieve it. If you don’t believe that you can do it, you’ll never do it. However, believe alone is insufficient. You need to take 100% responsibility of for your life.

Take 100% Responsibility Of Your Life

Like what Sir Jack Canfield always teach in his success principles, the number one success strategy is to take 100% responsibility of yourself. For things to change, you must first change. If you think that you are too fat, it is because of you. Maybe you’re taking too much junk food. If you fail your exams, it is because of you, not your lecturer. Take full responsibility so that you are able to change the situation.

So stop complaining and stop making excuses from now on. It is all the decision that you took that makes you who you are today. If you are someone lazy and keep putting things off, it is because of the lazy decisions that you have made in your life that shape you into this attitude.

If someone tells you, “I could have been a marathon runner, but I lost my leg in a car accident.” Try to tell that to Denny Chipollini of Skippack, Pennsylvania. He was in a car accident that severed both his legs. When you ask him about this he’ll tell you that he refers to this accident as a ‘gift’ because it changed his life for the better. Despite all these odds coming against him, he managed to ran 5 kilometer on his artificial leg. He even found a non-profit organization called Generation Hope and used his ‘gift’ to inspire people to overcome all odds and adversity with his ‘no excuses and no limits’ attitude toward life.
