What You Believe Is Very Important
The magic of believing will help you gain tremendous rewards. Let's look at an example of belief. When you have pains in your chest, you may become alarmed. After you make an appointment with your doctor, he will give you a complete examination and tell you to come back in order to go over the test results. On the second visit, the doctor tells you that all the tests come back negative and that there is nothing to be concerned about. He explains that perhaps you were affected by stress and that you should try to relax. If you do not feel better, he suggests that you can come back for another visit.

Having heard the good news that nothing is wrong, you leave the doctor's office suddenly feeling fantastic. Your mind gets rid of all your aches and pains that you thought were real.

Belief in something, including your own health, is very powerful. If you learn how to capitalize on the power of belief, you can alter your life for the good.

What if someone promised to pay you $100,000 in return for following a 10-day plan that was not hazardous in any way, morally acceptable to you, and which was guaranteed to improve your life? Would you agree to follow the plan? You probably would because you wanted the $100,000 reward.

Here's the $100,000 self-improvement plan that I am giving you:

$100,000 Self Improvement Experiment
1 - Get up at 6 A.M. each morning and study for one hour in your chosen field.
2 - Before leaving home each morning, make a list of the 10 most important things
to do for the day. At the end of the day, cross off your accomplished tasks.
Remember that each accomplished task is a small victory and the subconscious
mind needs to savor its accomplishments.
3 - Three times a day - before leaving home each morning, while traveling, and
before going to sleep - repeat your own "Positive Self-Suggestion Statements."
You can use the following statements given earlier as a guide or develop
your own personal statements that fit your lifestyle and personality.

Positive Self-Suggestion Statements
I feel healthy; I feel happy; I feel terrific.
I like myself; I like myself; I like myself.
I will be successful; it's inevitable because my aggressiveness will equal opportunities for my success.
I can; I will; I want to. I can; I will; I want to.
All things are possible through belief in myself and the Lord; and with his help I can accomplish anything.
I feel great; I feel wonderful; I've got the world by the tail.
If I start acting enthusiastic, I'll become enthusiastic.
If I start acting positive, I'll become positive.
If I start acting happy, I'll become happy.
It's amazing; but when I act enthusiastic, others around me become enthusiastic.
It's amazing; when I act positive, others around me become positive.
It's amazing; when I act happy, others around me become happy.
We have choices in life; we can act enthusiastic or we can act blasé; I choose to act enthusiastic.
We can act positive or negative; I choose to act positive.
We can act happy or sad; I choose to act happy.
Why would anyone in their right mind want to act sad?
Yes! I do feel healthy; I do feel happy because I am healthy; I do feel terrific.
I really do have the world by the tail.
Each day for the next ten days you must look for the good in every situation. No matter how bad it may be, you must find something good about it. Even if the car runs out of gas, say something like this, "That's good; now I can get some needed exercise!" If it starts raining on you, you could say, "The rain is good. We needed more water for the flowers and birds." No matter what happens, you must find good in it and believe there is good happening around you.

Each night before you go to sleep, you are to read for one hour, but you must also read a self-help book.

I'm sure you can fulfill this 10-day plan, especially if you want to be paid the $100,000. Would you still continue the plan if you knew that the company promising the $100,000 went bankrupt on the second day that you started on the plan?

Many people would give up. Not because they could not complete the plan, but because they were only motivated by the $100,000 offer. Those are the people who may never be successful because they do not have a personal plan and they are not willing to keep working to improve themselves despite a setback with the $100,000 reward.

Are you willing to be different? Do you dare to try to be different? Are you willing to stand out from the crowd? Are you able to put aside people laughing at you or questioning what you are doing in order to accomplish something great, which they do not see? If people do not see immediate success, are you willing to continue on with your dream?

Ever since you were a child, you have been making choices for your life. Now is the time to chose to be different in order to achieve the greatest success possible in what you want to accomplish.
