Secret #5 is, no doubt, the number one secret of World-Class Achievers. When all other things are equal, it’s the reason why one person makes millions and the other one can barely make a living. It’s the power of belief. The Russian novelist Anton Chekhov stated, “Man is what he believes.” It is through your beliefs that you inevitably create the world you live in. It was a change in my beliefs that turned my life around. In 1997, after we’d been evicted from our home and lost our last automobile, I was at a seminar when I heard 13 magic words: “the size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.”
I instantly knew that belief was the last piece of the puzzle and I created a plan and began a program to change my beliefs (I later put those exercises into a program called Can You Believe It? that has helped thousands around the world harness the power of belief). Within 90 days changes began occurring in my life. Within six months I achieved national recognition from the sales company I was with at the time. And within one year I was earning a six-figure income. Years later I regularly have days where I earn more income than I earned in all of 1997 put together.
All of it was as a result of changing my beliefs. Napoleon Hill said that faith was the most powerful force on earth (faith is belief without proof). Christians know that the power of faith has been described as being so powerful that a tiny amount (the size of a mustard seed) could move mountains. Belief is nothing more than what we accept as true or real. Now here’s something important to understand: what we accept as true may not be true and it may not be real.
But if we accept it as true or real it influences our decisions just as if it were. Life is of our own imagination. It can be a living miracle, or a living nightmare. From the days of the Greeks and the very first Olympics, it was debated whether a human being could run a sub-four minute mile. The medical and scientific community.
