Oratorical Piece: Believe You Can Succeed And You Will

Success means many wonderful, positive things.  Success means personal prosperity:  a fine home, vacations, travel, new things, financial security, giving your children maximum advantages, etc…   Success means winning admiration, leadership, being looked up to by people in your business and social life.  Success means freedom:  freedom from worries, fears, frustrations, and failure.  Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you.

Success means winning!

Success-achievement is the goal of life!

Every human being wants success.  Everybody wants the best this life can deliver.  Nobody enjoys crawling, living in mediocrity.  No one likes feeling second-class and feeling forced to go that way.

Some of the most practical success-building wisdom is found in that Biblical quotation stating that ‘faith can move mountains.’  Believe, really believe, that you can move a mountain and you can!  Not many people believe that they can move mountains.  So, as a result, not many people do.

On some occasion you’ve probably heard some say something like, “it’s nonsense to think you can make a mountain, move away.’  It’s simply impossible.”

People who think this way have belief confused with wishful thinking.  And true enough, you can’t wish away a mountain.  You can’t wish yourself into an executive suite.  Nor can you wish yourself into a five-bedroom, three-bath house or the high-income brackets.  You can’t wish yourself into a position of leadership.

But you can move a mountain with belief.  You can win success by believing you can succeed.  There is nothing neither magical nor mystical about the power of belief.

Belief works this way.  Belief, the “I’m positive-I-can” attitude, generates the power, skill, and energy needed to do.  When you believe I-can-do-it, the how-to-do-it develops.

Everyday all over the world, young people start working in new jobs.  Each of them “wishes” that someday he could enjoy the success that goes by reaching the top.  But the majority of these young people simply don’t have the belief that it takes the top rungs.  And they don’t reach the top.  Believing it’s impossible to climb high, they do not discover the steps that lead to great heights.  Their behavior remains that of the “average” person.

But a small number of these young people really believe they will succeed.  They approach their work with the “I’m going-to-the-top” attitude.  And with substantial belief they reach the top.  Believing they will succeed – and that it’s not impossible – these folks study and observe the behavior of senior executives.  They learn how successful people approach problems and make decisions.  They observe the attitudes of successful people.

Those who believe they can move mountains, do.  Those who believe that they can’t, cannot.  Belief triggers the power to do.  Belief in great results is the driving force, the power behind all great books, plays, scientific discoveries.  Belief in success is behind every successful business, church, and political organization.  Belief in success is the one basic, absolutely essential ingredient in successful people.

Believe, really believe, you can succeed and you will!
