I took the question about success online to gage my friends on facebook. I asked them to help me with my new resolution which is to become successful, and that i was not sure what to do. Just as i expected, i had a good number of responses pouring in, each response mirroring its sender,.Meaning everyone of my friends who responded to my inquiry was bringing their own perspective into a question of success .
I tried to take into account all this diverse inputs and consider even the most banal ones. The idea was to discover the intension behin each input and understand better what online friends think about success.
In the process of this investigative analysis, i arrived at the conclusive quote by Mohamed Ali;" If your mind can conceive it and your heart can believe it, you can achieve it" Wow !!! this is it, it says it all about how to be successful and it sums up all my friends' inputs.
Let's make a brief analysis of the quote to understand it better b breaking it down in parts.
"If your mind can conceive it"
It begins with a thought , an idea,an imagination. Everything that surrounds us had once been an idea, thought or imagination, that had gone through stages of manifestation to become reality.Any great success past or present has been originated by an idea, this is typical of all inventions.
"If your heart can believe it".
After an idea is conceived , you must see it as something doable and realistic, you must have faith in it and believe its authenticity . This is where the motivation to brave time and space and other reversals would be drawn from. This is the source of mastery. Even when failure appears time and again, the belief of the idea would help in the process of its realization.
"You can acheive it".
This is a final stage, the practical phase as the first two first are only preparatory but are as important. The thought becomes reality through some practical steps that need taking. This stage endures the time and space. The idea otherwise called dream comes to manifest into reality.
