This one is a fairly short chapter, however it is the basis for much of what we want to achieve in our lives. Believing it is possible seems to be one of the most difficult things for people to do. Every day, all day, I hear people talking of all the things they can’t do. Unfortunately, I rarely hear people talk of all the things that they can do.
Napoleon Hill said, “You can be anything you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and belief, the mind can achieve.” I’ve always liked that quote. Even if you don’t believe that the mind can achieve anything, this is still the place to start. Although I do believe it is true that the mind can achieve anything, it seems to me that there is something even more basic in the Principal. If you don’t believe it, you will never try… and if you never try it, you’ll never achieve it. So even if the mind isn’t the factor in this case believing you can is.
So, no matter what you’re trying to achieve these days, I suggest you begin believing in yourself and those around you. For many people, this seems to be a large stumbling block… I hope it’s not yours. Believe in yourself. It is possible. Get started today and take action as soon as possible.
