"Every person who wins in ANY undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. That is the only way you can be sure of maintaining the state of mind known as a burning desire to win. It is essential to success." - Napolean Hill, Think & Grow Rich.

We win or perish! It is that simple! If you don't decide to win - you will not.

Every action you take ultimately boils down to the question: Will this action (goal) help me reach my Desire, my overall objective, or won't it?

What's your day look like?

If you are one who has a hard time believing something (especially that you will recieve something you want), you will need to strengthen your powers of concentration.

One simple technique is to close your eyes and hold your thoughts on what ever it is that you want, and visualize the physical appearance, and you actually getting it. What does it look like, and feel like?

Do this simple, but super powerful technique everyday. Do it once when you wake up and once when you go to bed. It may feel awkward or unnecessary at first. But see what happens when you stick to it?

Ask any successful earner and they will tell you that they do expect to get what they want and they can see it before they get it.

Through out life, you have probably seen the person who "wins", or seems to have it all. That is no accident on their part. They expect to win. If you look at any top 3 people in a race or a competition, they will tell you they EXPECT to win!

It is as simple as that.

They visualize what the win will feel like, and they create action around doing what it takes to win.

BUT what surprises me about most people, is their ability to quit when it gets tough or challenging. Instead of putting their head down and focusing more, they just STOP, and quit...give up.

They could be 3 feet from gold, and they stop.

Is it because they are lazy, or they just don't want it that bad? What is it that stops them?

I have been in some EXTREMELY difficult spots in my life that make it hard to continue, but the fighter in me that knows I deserve what I want, pushes through until I find the breakthough.

Ask any successful person who has acheived their financial goals, they have NOT stopped. When it gets hard or an obstacle appears, they find their way around it or through it.

In Napolean Hills book, he says, "A Quitter Never Wins. And A Winner NEVER quits!"

What are you?

Have you ever had a time in your life where it feels like a series of bad things happen over and over? I think we all have at one time or another.

The root of these terrible things are a result of our "stinkin' thinkin". The reality is even if you are not consciously thinking bad, you subconscious makes no distinctions between constructive and destructive thoughts.

According to Napolean Hill and other experts, your subconscious mind will turn any thought you have into reality. So if you thoughts are about a fear of something - it will bring that fear into existence. If you thoughts are positive that you will achieve something, you will.

The little self-doubt in the back of your mind is getting attention whether you like it or not. You have to work on your belief everyday, and turn the thoughts in the back of your mind into postive ones. The only way to overcome the "bad" little thoughts is to constantly reinforce good thoughts outload until the back of your mind believes it. Sounds crazy? It works.

You can see how if you plan to succeed, and have faith in your ability, it will happen to you.

Success is a plan, diliberate in thoughts and action.

If you want to succeed, fill your mind with thoughts about what it will FEEL like, what you will gain, and let your mind come up with an action plan to make it happen.

Faith means having confidence, trust, and absolute, unwavering belief that you can achieve exactly what you want. If you ask ANYONE who has succeeded - they will tell you that combined with DESIRE - they had FAITH and BELIEF that they could do something.

There is a difference between having faith that you can do something and knowing exactly how you will accomplish it. Faith does not require the exact know how. It only requires that you believe that you too can achieve whatever you put your mind to.

If you don't have faith, you learn how to develop it! You say affirmations everyday to transmit the desire into your mind so that your subconscious believes it.

Take this seriously and see what happens!
