“There is a difference between wanting something….and to be ready to accept it.”
- Napoleon Hill -

Many people has written their vision, just like you have done, and they did not achieve anything. Why there are some who are successful, and there are some who don’t? What makes the difference? Why some people is extremely successful, and others keep struggling and never become really successful? It is not because there is a higher power that prefers just some people, who reaches and touches some chosen ones. Most of the times, the successful people are the ones with the strongest faith.

The unbreakable and unshakeable faith is an important element to bring your vision to physical reality. Everyone with great achievements has absolute faiths that their vision will come true. They know without a doubt that their dreams will come to them. These people don’t waste time with having one minute faith and then let themselves drown back into fears and doubts the next minute. It will only attract confusion and worries. People with great achievements will only focus to their vision and raise that vision with faith, whatever their situation at the moment. They know that it is just a matter of time before their visions are realized physically.

“Believing things that you can see and touch means you don’t believe at all,” said Abraham Lincoln, “but to believe in what you cannot see is a victory and a bless.”

Faith is not only a strong agent in achieving our dreams, but also keeping us focused, calm, and exists for ourselves and our lives. If we have faith that our dreams are coming to us, we will not rush for it. Rush is a manifestation of fear. Fear is based on doubt and the lack of faith. Fear, doubt, and lack of faith are based on our lack of knowledge that we are one with the highest intelligence.

The Gender law said that your kindness will return to you in the right form and the right time. This Super law directs creation, and you are creating success. This law states that everything “new” emerge because some existed energy united, and that everything has their own incubation times or development times. When we have faith, we don’t try to rush to that dream before that dream is ready to bear fruit, just as we don’t rush a baby to be born before nine months passed. Faith gives us patience with our visions and dreams. Success will come. Success is already there and waiting for you to attract it.

Don’t attract yourselves from this creative stream with self-doubts, limiting faiths, or the lack of understanding. The only thing that can go wrong is your thought. When you find that you are beginning to rush, worry, stop! When you are acting in a hurry, you are breaking your connection with the highest intelligence and will not receive power and wisdom which are your rights. Reconfirm that you are one with the source of everything. Your faith will not shake if you are always in relation with the truth about who you are. Listen to “the distinctive soft sound” from your intuition which tells you what to do.

When you get a message from your intuition, act! Don’t worry about what others will think. They may be more interested about what people will think about themselves than to value you. Before you perfect your intuitive ability, you may do some “mistakes.” You might be wrong to think that an impulsive thought to buy a car as the sound from the highest intelligence in you, but slowly, you will build your “intuitive muscle.” You will learn how to listen and act in faith. You will recognize “The soft distinctive sound” when you hear it, and you will develop the courage to believe and follow it in any moment.

When you act with a total faith while listening to your inner wisdom, everything will be discovered according to the divine command, exactly at the right time: never too early or too late. Whatever help, resources, or relationships you need will come to you when you need them. Whatever wisdom or knowledge that you also need is searching for you. Although you don’t know which way to take on the next corner, you will be given the necessary book, meet the person you need to meet, or get the money you need to achieve your dream, and it always happen in the perfect time.

Once again, we can depend on our mind to understand how this principal works. On intellectual level or consciousness, your vision must be here now, at this very moment. You have to visualize yourself in the picture and see through your own eye from inside your vision. On subconscious level or spiritual, your vision also must be here now at this very moment. Do this with your emotion. Be involved emotionally in your vision. Be passionate with the vision. Remember, human passion will not spread its energy for something ordinary. On physical level, your vision does not have other choice than to start manifestation.

The Success Story of Starbucks

Starbucks coffee is an American classic story of success, and the business is built on the idea to create, not to compete. At 1982, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz left his 75000 dollars salary job at Xerox to reach the dream of his business. He never sees himself competing in the existing coffee market, which was at that time in a low condition with the raising interest in tea, price wars, and low quality products. But, Schultz developed a new mind set for coffee, gourmet coffee, and created a whole new market. He didn’t react to an existing market; he filled the gap which no one even saw as a probability.

The result was a surprise! Starbucks grew from about six stores and less than 100 employees in 1987 to more than 1300 stores and 25000 employees in 1997. Sales and profit rose more than 50% a year for six years in a row, and they hired more than 500 new employees every month.

With creating, not competing, Howard Schultz developed a whole new industry, which shows further evidence that competition does not have any effects to success.

Nobody is prepared to accept something until they believe they are able to accept it. Before something can come to us, we have to imagine it and believe that it is ours.

    Hi Arswino,

    You’re exactly right! All of life’s greatest achievements begin with having faith and believing in ourselves and our visions. It’s our belief and faith that keep us unstoppable when life throws a few curve balls. It’s what keeps us up to bat!

    Very well written! Thank you for a great post!

    Many Blessings….

    Because no one can name something good about it. Unless you count the absurd claim that all atheists are horrible people. No one can make an argument for faith? What does that tell you? The believers can’t even tell you what they get from believing, and when they do, its stuff I already have without faith.
