The Power of Your Belief

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

A long time ago a man who became the father of the US Auto Industry made a very profound statement which still rings true today. This man’s name is Henry Ford, and this is what he said: “Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.”

I can also put it another way, “whether you believe you can or you can’t, either way you’re right”. This is because your thinking is consistent with your belief. You have to first believe I Can, before you can think I Can. Conversely, if you don’t think you can, it’s only because you don’t believe that you can.

Your belief system affects every aspect of your life, from how you relate to yourself to how you relate to others and how others relate to you. In fact, how others relate to you is nothing more than a reflection of how you see yourself.

If you want others to think highly of you, you must first believe that you are valuable and worthy. In other words, you must think highly of yourself.

If you want others to believe in your vision you must first believe in your own vision. Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi all believed in their vision of a non-racial society where people of all races will live together in peace, love and harmony.

Barack Obama had to believe in his own vision of a new and better America. And by doing so, he inspired a whole nation. That is what made the difference between him and the other candidates. He believed in something and he was selling this idea to the people, who in the end bought it.

Why do you need to believe in something? Everything you produce or stand for is a reflection of you. The way people view you is the way that they will view whatever you stand for, whether it is a product or service. If they like you or what you stand For, they’ll likely like your product or service.

What this means is that your belief is directly related to your success or failure in life.

Somebody who believes fervently can change situations that seem impossible. There are those individuals in the business world commonly referred to as turn-around specialists. They are often handed companies that are on the brink of collapse and that no-one wants to touch. Yet they somehow manage turn it around. An example of someone like that is Mitt Romney who was running for the Republican presidential nomination.

How do they do it? They are able to do it, because they believe that they Can.

Somebody who has faith; in other words, believes that it is possible can drive a car on an empty tank for a whole day, as I have done many times.

Sometimes the difference between healing and not healing is belief, also called faith.

Whenever Jesus met people who needed healing, he always asked them, “Do you believe that I can make you well?” and whenever they replied yes, the healing always followed. Why would Jesus do that, even when it was clear to him and everybody else that the person is sick and therefore needs healing? The reason is simple: Jesus knew that belief facilitates healing and hence it was necessary to get people to believe, before they receive it.

I always thought that if a product works for A, B & C it will also work for me. I discovered this is not necessarily the case. Sometimes the difference between whether a product does for you what the owner claims it does or doesn’t, depend on your belief and expectation. If you have a negative attitude towards the product, it’s probably not going to work for you, even though it worked for someone else. It doesn’t mean the product is bad, it just means your belief and expectation got in the way.

Lance Armstrong not only defeated cancer, which is already an unbelievable feat in itself, but he went on and won the “Tour De France, the premier cycle race in the world, a record 7 times. How did he do it? By believing He Can.

As I write this article, he is busy training to try and win it an unprecedented eight time.

To learn how to develop the faith that moves mountains, get the Ultimate Manifesting Guide now. Whatever you decide, that’s how it will be for you. If you think; why bother getting this book because my life will never change, then that’s how it will be for you.

However, if you say I’m tired of going in circles year in and year out. I want to change my life and I’m going to give this book my best shot, then that’s how it will be for you. You’ll succeed! Click Here to check out the Ultimate Manifesting Guide now!

Keep track of your results

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Three key words to remember: weigh, count and measure.
Now, why weigh, count and measure? To see what your results
are from your activity, your attitude and your philosophy.
If you find that the results are not to your liking, there
are only three places to look. Your philosophy needs to be
fine-tuned; your attitude needs to be strengthened or your
disciplines need extra skill. But that’s it. Activity,
attitude and philosophy create results.

Now – on results I teach that life expects you to make
measurable progress in reasonable time. But, you must be
reasonable with time. You can’t say to someone every five
minutes, how are you doing now? That’s too soon to ask for a
count. Guy says, "I haven’t left the building yet, give me a
break!" Now you can’t wait five years – that’s too long. Too
many things can go wrong waiting too long for a count to see
how you’re doing.

Here are some good time frames:  

Number one – at the end of the day. You can’t let more
than a day go by without looking at some things and making
progress. New Testament says – if you are angry, try to
solve it before the sun goes down. Don’t carry anger for
another day.  It may be too heavy to carry. If you try to
carry it for a week, it may drop you to your knees. So some
things you must get done in a day.

Here’s the next one – a week. We ask for an accounting of
the week so we can issue the pay. And whatever you’ve got
coming that’s what you get; when the week is over. Now in
business there are two things to check in the course of the
week. Your activity count and your productivity count.
Because activity leads to productivity we need to count both
to see how we’re doing.

My mentor taught me that success is a numbers game and
very early he started asking me my numbers. He asked, "How
many books have you read in the last ninety days?" I said,
"Zero"; he said, "Not a good number." He said, "How many
classes have you attended in the last six months to improve
your skills?" And I said, "Zero." He said, "Not a good
number."

Then he said, "In the last six years that you’ve
been working, how much money have you saved and invested?" I
said, "Zero" and he said, "Not a good number." Then here’s
what he said, "Mr. Rohn, if these numbers don’t change your
life won’t change. But" he said, "If you’ll start improving
these numbers then perhaps you’ll start to see everything
change for you."

Success and results are a numbers game. John joins this
little sales company. He’s supposed to make 10 calls the
first week just to get acquainted with the territory. So on
Friday we call him in and say what? "How many calls?" He
says, "Well."  You say, "John, ‘well’ won’t fit in the
little box here. I need a number." Now he starts with a
story. And you say, "John, the reason I made this little box
so small is so a story won’t fit. All I need is a number
because if you give us the number we’re so brilliant around
here we could guess the story." It’s the numbers that count.
Making measurable progress in reasonable time.

Here’s the best accounting. The accounting you make of
yourself. Don’t wait for the government to do it, don’t wait
for the company to do it. But you’ve got to add up some of
your own numbers and ask, "Am I making the progress I want
and will it take me where I want to go now and in the
future?" You be the judge!

To Your Success,

What I think about the “depression”

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

Everybody seems to be talking about the recession and how terrible things are going to be for everybody.

This may be so, but I am of the view that things can only get better if we change the way we think.

This “depression” may seem like a global thing and it is, but only because there is a large collective consciousness that focuses on it and is afraid of what it is going to bring.

The law of attraction is real and we attract what we focus on. Imagine if 80% of the people who are currently focused on and fear a depression suddenly starts to think and act positively. Things would suddenly start to look up and get better.

At the end of the day, this is only going to be a temporary phenomena. There have been recessions before and we got out of it and became better if only because of it.

Even in the the so-called good times, each one of us have and had our own recessions. Nobody seemed to notice our bankruptcies and own economic downturns. Fortunately, they didn’t last and only served to make us better.

So let us also look forward to where we are headed instead of where we are and hold the view that things are getting better. Remember, what scripture says. Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

All things work together for us, even those things that may appear on the outside as if they aren’t. However if you remain focused on the negative you may never see the blessings you got.
