I achieve to the degree that I overcome the negative. I am willing to pay the price of achievment. I sacrifice, struggle, and work, sometimes alone, weary, and discouraged and yet I always overcome. The fact about the negative feeling is often overlooked. It is caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not the things themselves.
I believe that we all can do something great. It is the inner feeling that we undertake and accomplish. For the most part, all of us have the ability to look at something and to know whether or not we can do it. So in belief there is power: our eyes are opened; our opportunities become plain; our visions-my visions, become reality. The greatest power that we have in belief is choice. We decide where we want to be, who we are and what we think. No one can take this from us. It is ours alone.
Now the secret to me is my Faith in God. That faith gives me confidence. There can be no great courage where this is no confidence or assurance. Half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake-
Finally. Truth. It is my biggest asset. Truth is what is. It is neither good nor bad, ugly nor beautiful. Truth is just what exists- it is reality. The successful are realists. They are not mislead by false appearances. I see the world for what it is.code: do not remove modify this line or below layout=9034595
