To believe you’d succeed is to be halfway there. When we set up a goal, it’s because we want to change something. We don’t just do something for no reason; it’s because we want to get somewhere. It takes a key understanding to achieve success, and that is the ability to believe that you can. It may sound like an obvious statement, but it’s shocking to find people who aren’t able to reach their targets because of a lack of convincing belief in self. If you truly understand that success is attainable, it will become so. Success is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many quit because they feel they’d never be able to achieve what they want.

Success means personal prosperity: a fine home, vacations, travel, new things, financial security, giving your children maximum advantages. Success means winning admiration, leadership, being looked up to by people in your business and social life. Success means freedom: freedom from worries, fears, frustrations, and failure. Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you. Success means winning and it is the goal of life!

A lot of people give up because they feel inadequate and perceive themselves as lacking in comparison to others. It takes a realization to know that you can and it takes a mindset makeover to achieve whatever you set your heart on to achieve. The way we see ourselves and how we think of ourselves can create a huge impact on what we do. And when you are on the path to success, some people will tear you down. But if we strongly believe in our success, then all those discouraging words will not affect us.

Believe that you will succeed, and you will.

— Dale Carnegie

Success means many wonderful, positive things. Success means personal prosperity: a fine home, vacations, travel, new things, financial security, giving your children maximum advantages, etc. Success means winning admiration, leadership, being looked up to by people in your business and social life. Success means freedom: freedom from worries, fears, frustrations, and failure. Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you. Success means winning! Success-achievement is the goal of life! Every human being wants success. Everybody wants the best this life can deliver. Nobody enjoys crawling, living in mediocrity. No one likes feeling second-class and feeling forced to go that way. Some of the most practical success-building wisdom is found in the Biblical quotation stating that faith can move mountains. Believe, really believe, that you can move mountains and you can! Not many people believe that they can move mountains. So, as a result, not many people do. On some occasion you’ve probably heard someone say something like, “It’s nonsense to think you can make a mountain move away.” Life is competitive, but not necessarily a competition. There are many people looking to go toe-to-toe with you in battle. From getting into university, to establishing your own company, to asking out that boy crush or girl crush, nothing good comes easy! Contrariwise, a lot of bad comes easily, and that’s largely since you allow others to exploit your weaknesses and insecurities. Don’t let that happen. The world is big enough – a watered garden for all of us tender flowers to flourish! The market is large enough to make anybody comfortably wealthy.

Nothing stops anyone from succeeding. The strongest mindset is the mindset that we will succeed if only we make the effort. There’s only one belief I have whenever I start anything, and that’s the belief that I will succeed. You need to develop self-confidence because everything starts with your core beliefs. Once you develop a trust in yourself, everything you do will start falling into place. Success doesn’t come easy; that’s a known fact. It is about hard work and dedication. But it also requires strong determination. With that determination is the belief in succeeding. Successful entrepreneurs knew from day one that they would succeed, no matter how tough and rough things go. They believed in their success even before they made it happen, and that belief helped them through it.
