This is something interesting. While you may not always get what you want, you will always get what you expect! Belief is the most powerful state of mind because your belief system defines and shapes who you are and determines your potential. I believe Henry Ford was correct when he said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right.” A lot of motivational books talk about the power in believing in oneself. Without which you are nowhere and are likely to be stuck at where you are now. You can see where one now without this positive thinking. It happened to me a while back. I didn’t graduate with the grade I required to make me saleable to the top accounting firms in the UK me to do my Chartered Accountancy programme. It’s something that I have always wanted to do and back then it was “the thing” to do. Nevertheless at that point in time, I still believe I can do it and one of the firms will still accept me, it’s just a matter of time. I study all the weaknesses that I had. Improving performance at interviews, making good points about me more stand out. What frustrated me was the degree of “connection” that some of my friends had at college. Some had a father who is a partner in Malaysia’s accounting firm which could easily endorse his son’s name for UK’s office employment. Some even has contacts in high places. As for me, I have got nothing. But that did not stop me from contacting the Managing Partner of PriceWaterhouseCoopers Malaysia, to give me some endorsement. After all, I did my vacation training at his firm the previous summer. We had a nice chat one morning, however it still did not work out for me. Still I kept on looking. Now at middle or small sized firms. At long last I was finally accepted. But not in the UK but Republic of Ireland. It was a fantastic offer, although the pay was nothing comparable to the position in the UK, I was more than happy to accept the offer with the firm. The firm was KPMG. One of the top four accounting firms in the UK. I guess the power of belief works for me.

Now I intend to apply this power of positive thinking to my goal of becoming a millionaire by 2010. Despite still working for a steady office job, which earns me quite a handsome amount, I am still confident that I can achieve this goal soon. I have created multiple streams of income, through investments in property, ASB, unit trust and internet income in addition to what I earn as Manager in one of multinational companies in Malaysia. I will start hiring people to do some of my work soon. Wish me luck. If you would like to read more about the Power of Belief, I gladly advise you to read books by Adam Khoo (Secrets of Self Made Millionaire), David J Schwartz (The Magic of Thinking Big) and Robert Caldini (How To Get From Where You Are to Where You Want To Be). Let me leave you with the following quote: “Change Your Beliefs And You Will Change Your World.”
