You have studied and tried them all-"The Secret", "The Law of Attraction", goal setting, affirmations and other more traditional success methods and nothing has worked for you. At this point you have reached a level of disgust with the entire self-fulfillment movement. You may have read my program reviews and wonder how I could conclude that these programs work and they do work. That being said, then you decide that there must be something wrong with you and this drives you into an even deeper depression.

The fact is that every program that I have given a positive review does work and, in reality, there is nothing wrong with you-you are capable of achieving limitless wealth, success and self fulfillment beyond your wildest dreams but, you have not been told the whole story. You have not been taught how to build the underlying foundation necessary to make these programs work for you and without this foundation, all is for naught.

It is much like building a house. If you build your house on a foundation of sand, the first big storm will wash your house away but if you build upon a solid concrete foundation, the house will then withstand the strongest of storms. Self-development requires the same type of foundation and I call this foundation the two pillars of success.

Faith is the first pillar of building that foundation. You must have faith to create the reality of your dreams. Not only faith in yourself but also faith in all of mankind. If you look back at the history of mankind, the consciousness of mankind has been ever expanding and ever growing. We have come a long way since slavery was seen as an acceptable practice. That is just one example, throughout the history of mankind the evolution of consciousness is the natural course of our species just as the universe itself is ever expanding.

As part of building this first pillar of success, you must also develop faith in yourself. No matter what you have accomplished in life, that is simply a taste of what you are truly capable of accomplishing. Understand that you have only scratched the surface and that you are capable of far greater accomplishments. This is an internal path. You must root out all of the self-limiting behaviors that you have been taught to accept and then will come the realization of who you truly are. It is this deep abiding faith in ones' self that will lead you down the path to true wealth, success and self-fulfillment.

The second pillar of success is that of dedication. All too often, I hear people say that they are going to try some new self-improvement program and I know right from the start that they are destined for failure. Once you have researched a program and have developed faith that a program will work, you must then dedicate yourself, heart and soul, to the application and completion of that program. It matters little if you purchase a self-growth program or develop your own program, it you dedicate yourself 100% to it's application, you will achieve success.

No one ever met with success by trying something. It takes dedication to achieve success. I see so many people face failure after failure because they jump from program to program, never having committed to actually working a program to it's fullest extent. Build upon this foundation and your life will become an incredible testament to the joy of true wealth, success and self-fulfillment. Joy not depression is our natural state of being but you need a strong foundation to achieve this state.
