What Does The First Quote Suggest?

The first quote talks about the power of beliefs. This quote reminds me of a saying I heard many years ago that said:

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief she is beautiful.

In other words, BELIEF IS THE KEY.

Belief can be summed up by so many other words and by so many other Laws of Positioning.

Law #2 - Position Yourself To Be Ambitious - you can’t be ambitious if you don’t believe in yourself

Law #5 - Position Yourself To Be Beautiful - you can’t be beautiful if you don’t believe in yourself

Law #6 - Position Yourself To Be A Believer

Law #13 - Position Yourself To Be Confident - you can’t be confident if you don’t believe in yourself

Law #19 - Position Yourself To Be Courageous - you have to believe in yourself to have courage in your ideas

Law #20 - Position Yourself To Be Creative - you have to believe in your ideas to create

Law #25 - Position Yourself To Be A Dreamer - you have to believe in your dreams in order to make them become real

Law #32 - Position Yourself To Be Ethical - you have to believe in right and wrong in order to be ethical

and the list goes on . . .

What Does The Second Quote Suggest?

It suggests that if things fall into place, if good things happen, then one really strong fantasy; one really strong hope, can transform reality for millions and millions of people.

That is what I am attempting to do with Achievement IQ and the Laws of Positioning.

I am attempting to put forth my ideas; positive ones; and to transform them into a better reality for millions if not billions of people.

Never let it be said I didn’t have lofty or ambitious goals.

The Power Within You

Each and every one of you has this same power.  You have the power to believe in yourself.  You have the power to create your own luck.

And in so doing, you have the power to change the world for the better.

Now what could be wrong with that?
