Chapter One

Getting what you want is success, and success is an effect, coming from the application of cause. Success is essentially the same in all cases. The difference is in the things the successful people want, but not in the success. Success is essentially the same, whether it results in the attainment of health, wealth, development or position. Success is attainment, without regard to the things attained. And it is a law in nature that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, since success is the same in all cases, the cause of success must be the same in all cases.

The cause of success is always in the person who succeeds. You will see that this must be true, because if the cause of success were in nature, outside the person, then all persons similarly situated would succeed. The cause of success is not in the environment of the individual, because if it were, all persons within a given radius would be successful, and success would be wholly a matter of neighborhood. And we see that people whose environments are practically the same, and who live in the same neighborhood show us all degrees of success and failure. Therefore, we know that the cause of success must be in the individual, and nowhere else.

It is, therefore, mathematically certain that you can succeed if you will find out the cause of success, and develop it to sufficient strength, and apply it properly to your work, for the application of a sufficient cause cannot fail to produce a given effect. If there is a failure anywhere, of any kind, it is because the cause was either not sufficient or was not properly applied. The cause of success is some power within you. You have the power to develop any power to a limitless extent, for there is no end to mental growth. You can increase the strength of this power indefinitely and so, you can make it strong enough to do what you want to do, and to get what you want to get. When it is strong enough, you can learn how to apply it to the work, and therefore, you can certainly succeed. All you have to learn is what the cause of success is, and how it must be applied.

The development of the special faculties to be used in your work is essential. We do not expect anyone to succeed as a musician without developing the musical faculty. And it would be absurd to expect a machinist to succeed without developing the mechanical faculty, a clergyman to succeed without developing spiritual understanding and the use of words, or a banker to succeed without developing the faculty of finance. And in choosing a business, you should choose the one which will call for the use of your strongest faculties. If you have good mechanical ability, and are not spiritually minded and have no command of language, do not try to preach. And if you have the taste and talent to combine colors and fabrics into beautiful creations in millinery and dress, do not learn typewriting or stenography. Get into a business which will use your strongest faculties, and develop these faculties all you can. And even this is not enough to insure success.

There are people with fine musical talent who fail as musicians, with good mechanical ability who fail as carpenters, blacksmiths, and machinists; with deep spirituality and fluent use of language who fail as clergymen, with keen and logical minds who fail as lawyers, and so on. The special faculties used in your work are the tools you use, but success does not depend alone on having good tools. It depends more on the power which uses and applies the tools. Be sure that your tools are the best and kept in the best condition. You can cultivate any faculty to any desired extent.

The application of the musical faculty causes success in music, that of the mechanical faculty causes success in mechanical pursuits, that of the financial faculty causes success in banking, and so on. And the something which applies these faculties, or causes them to be applied is the cause of success. The faculties are tools. The user of the tools is you, yourself. That in you which can cause you to use the tools in the right way, at the right time and in the right place is the cause of success. What is this something in the person which causes him to use his faculties successfully?

What it is and how to develop it will be fully explained in the next section. But before taking that up you should read this section over several times, so as to fix upon your mind the impregnable logic of the statement that you can succeed. You can, and if you study the foregoing argument well, you will be convinced that you can. And to become convinced that you can succeed is the first requisite to success.
