Seven Secrets: How to Succeed

By Jimmy Campbell

In high school and technical college, the subject how to achieve your dreams was never an elective that was available. Maths, English, geography, and the like, were really the only options. Our parents told us to try hard, get good grades, and do our best so that we could get a good job. However, the secrets of success remained hidden and these were things that we had to seek and find out for ourselves.

Seven Secrets is a powerful and to-the-point summary of everything you ever wanted to know that was never taught in school. How do you achieve a dream? How do you believe in yourself and become successful in life? How do you make your dreams a reality and get what you want? These are the questions that are directly answered in Seven Secrets. You are already smart enough; you deserve happiness and success. Seven Secrets will show you how to achieve your dreams.

THINKING

Think doubt and fail. Think victory and succeed.¹

WE ALL HAVE WITHIN US THE POWER TO CREATE, AND ALL CREATION BEGINS IN THOUGHT. Every achievement and success ever produced, from the first basic grass huts to the steel and glass of the tallest skyscrapers, from the street trader on a city corner to the chief executive of the largest corporation, from the flimsy aircraft of the Wright brothers to the miracle of the jet aeroplane and the exploration of outer space—all accomplishment, success, and progress had its origin in thought.

The great and small achievements of men and women had their beginnings in imagination and thinking. Nothing was ever achieved on this planet that wasn’t first created in somebody’s mind, in thought. We must first think, and then believe, before we can possess or create anything.

As human beings, we possess free will and the ability to selectively choose and control our own thoughts. It is our own thoughts, the way that we choose to think and perceive our reality, that plant the seeds which create our lives. The difference between us as human beings and all other life on earth is that we have the power of volition: we can choose our thoughts and therefore create and design our lives as we desire.

Everyone has the power to decide what they want to do, be, and create. If we think we can, then there really are no limits to our choices, particularly in the twenty-first century when there is an entire world full of opportunities just ready and waiting for us. If we think we can’t, then these are limits that
