Are the things around you helping you toward success, or are they holding you back?

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.

What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve with Positive Mental Attitude. It is a form of self-suggestion. It is a self-motivator to success. When it becomes a part of you, you dare to aim higher.

Regardless of who you are or what you have been, you can be what you want to be.

Most of us are inclined to look upon success as coming in some mysterious way through advantages that we do not have. Perhaps because we do have them, we don't see them. The obvious is often unseen.

You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.

When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habit and don't know how to eliminate them effectively.
