Getting what you want is success; and success is an effect, coming from the application of a cause. Success is essentially the same in all cases; the difference is in the thing that successful people want but not in the success. Success is attainment, without regard to the things attained. 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 were in nature, OUTSIDE the person, then all persons similarly situated would succeed. It would be wholly a matter of neighbourhood. Mathematically, if you find out the cause of success and develop it to a sufficient strength and apply it properly to your work, the application of the cause sufficiently cannot fail to produce a given effect. Failure results in the insufficiency of the cause or the not being applied properly.
The cause of success is some power WITHIN you 
; you have 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 then learn how to apply it to work and therefore you CAN certainly succeed.
The development of the special faculties to be used in your work is essential. We cannot expect anyone to succeed in any field or pursuit without the developing faculties specific to that field or pursuit. In choosing a business, you should choose the one which will call forth the use of your strongest faculties. However, developing these faculties doesn't necessarily insure success. There are people with fine musical talent who fail as musicians, with keen and logical minds who fail as lawyers, the examples are endless. The faculties used in your work are the tools you use but success doesn't 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 conditions, you can cultivate any faculty to any desired extent. 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, the right time am d in the right place is the cause of success. The faculties of the human mind are the tools with which success is attained and the right application of these tools to your work or business will do it successfully and get what you want. There is something in the man who succeeds that enables him to use his faculties successfully, and this something must be cultivated by all who succeed. The question is: What is it?
It is Conscious Power in Action. It is Active Power Consciousness.
Power consciousness is what you feel when you know that you can do a thing, and you know How to do the thing. When you are in full Power-Consciousness, you will approach the task in an absolutely successful frame of mind. Every thought will be successful, every action will be successful, and when every thought and every action is successful, the sum-total of all your actions cannot be failure.
You must believe that it is possible for you to succeed; but it is not enough for you to believe that you Can succeed, and the subconscious mind must know it as well as the objective mind. It is not completely true that ‘he can who thinks/knows he can’, if only the objective mind is spoken of, for the subconscious mind will often completely set aside and overcome what is positively known by the objective mind. It is a true statement however, that he can whose subconscious mind knows that he can, and it is especially true if his objective mind has been trained to do the work. The subconscious mind is the source from which power comes in the action of any faculty and any doubt will cause this power to be withheld and the action will be weak. Therefore, you must impress in your subconscious mind the fact that You Can Succeed. This must be done by repeated suggestions. Such as ‘I AM FULL OF THE POWER OF SUCCESS I DO AND CAN SUCCEED’. Hold this simple truth and saturate your mentality with the knowledge that YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO. YOU CAN SUCCEED.
