This is a statement with which we are all familiar and we all know it to be true;
but do we know why it is true?
When we begin to think of this statement really think we find it to be
pregnant with facts and possibilities far beyond anything the majority ever
imagined; and when we understand these facts and possibilities, we shall find the
real secret to all Success.
The understanding of these things, however, cannot be gained until we study
carefully the psychology of Success itself, as well as the psychology of the above

mentioned statement, and we realize beforehand that we shall, through such a
study, find facts that will positively prove invaluable.
When we think of Success, we usually think of the accumulation of wealth, but
this can never be more than a small fragment of Success, because Success in reality
signifies any form of attainment or achievement that is truly worthwhile. And it
is very important that we realize this larger meaning of Success before we attempt
to comprehend the psychology of Success.
The fact is this: that anyone who is advancing in their work, is successful to that
degree, whether their recompense be large or small; and no one can be spoken of
as successful unless steady advancement is clearly evident. It is only the Mind
that is moving forward, or rising in the scale, that can succeed, because Success
invariably implies the adding of more and more to what we already possess,
whether those possessions be tangible possessions, achievements and attainments
or riches of Mind and Soul.
Success may be defined as the progressive
realization of a worthy ideal. Earl Nightingale

When we understand the full meaning of Success, we shall find that the reason
why nothing succeeds like Success is due to the fact that the psychological
process of Success contains, within itself, the real power for success; and when
that power has actually been placed in action, it tends invariably to produce
greater and greater Success.
This is something we shall understand perfectly before we are through with this
important subject, and we shall find it extremely interesting.
When we examine any movement in life that is steadily advancing, or examine a
successful enterprise, or some great achievement in the process of development
when we examine these things, we find two factors that are chiefly concerned.
One of these is the human Mind, or group of Minds, directly responsible for what
is being accomplished; and the other is the effect produced by this particular
accomplishment, upon other Minds, near or far, interested or unconcerned.
In other words, when you examine Success, you will first meet the Mind that is
promoting that particular success; and it will be very interesting to note how
Success affects that Mind, and how the process of Success is affected in return. In
fact, it is right in this very place that we shall discover why nothing succeeds like
Success. And when we make this discovery, then the real secret to Success will be
a secret to us no more.

We know that whenever an individual begins to succeed, certain things begin to
transpire in his or her Mind certain things that have not transpired in that Mind
before; that is, not in the same degree; and this is particularly significant.
In the first place, that individual begins to appreciate themselves; and the moment
real self-appreciation enters any Mind, the power to become and achieve actually
doubles in that Mind. Thus, we realize how Success, in this regard, gives the
Mind the power to succeed more.
In like manner, there is increase of self-confidence, ambition, aspiration, and the
desire to attain and achieve on a larger scale. All of these things arise more and
more in the Mind that has begun to succeed; and they all are positive forces for
still greater Success.
Then we discover that the coming of Success tends to produce greater harmony of
action among all the forces and faculties of the Mind; and this is extremely
important, because the Mind that can work in a state of active harmony has from
three to ten times the capacity of the Mind that is unstable, confused or chaotic.
This fact illustrates very clearly how Success, when once begun, actually creates
within itself the power to produce greater Success; and that is one reason why
nothing succeeds like Success.

More important than any of the foregoing is this: that whenever the individual
begins to succeed, then their Mind begins to act more successfully. When you
find that you are a Success, you begin to infuse your Mind with the idea of Success
with the feeling, the consciousness and the Spirit of Success. And accordingly,
your Mind will proceed to work more successfully, thereby giving you the power
to succeed more largely than before.
This very thing we all can appreciate perfectly; and we fully understand how the
Success of the individual must increase in the tangible world as the Mind is
trained to act more successfully in the mental world. Like causes produce like
effects. A Mind that is a Success in itself that operates successfully as a Mind
will naturally produce Success when called upon to act in the practical world; and
this practical Success will naturally increase with the increase of successful action
in the Mind itself. These are all self-evident facts facts that illustrate most
forcefully the importance of the subject under consideration.
Thousands of young men and women go out into the world expecting to succeed,
not having given a single thought to the great principle that the Mind must be a
Success before the individual can be a Success. And, therefore, the majority do not realize
their cherished ambitions nor their lofty dreams.

We must have efficiency in the Mind before we can have it in the shop. The
workmen of the Mind must be trained in efficiency and skill, and inspired with
the spirit of Success, before the man himself can produce Success. But
paradoxical as it may seem, Success itself, when once begun, invariably creates, in
the Mind, the power to produce still greater Success.
A most important fact is this: that when you begin to succeed you begin to feel,
more and more, that you can succeed; that is, you begin to think that you can; and
we are beginning to understand the real reason why he can who thinks he can.
When you begin to think that you can, then you will find that all your faculties
and talents begin to act, with greater ability and power, upon the one thing you
are trying to accomplish, and results will increase remarkably in consequence.
We can readily note the difference between the man or woman who thinks that
he or she can, and the one who doubts their own ability. The latter will not put
forward a great deal of energy; in fact, they will express but a small fraction of
their ability and power; but Success does not come in that way. The former,
however, will turn on more and more of the current; he or she will apply
themselves more and more effectively; they will become thoroughly enthused, and
will express their very best under every circumstance.

We may state the fact in this fashion: He who thinks he can, will arouse within
him the power that can. And whenever we begin to succeed, we will begin to
think and know that we can. This will lead to greater and greater Success; and
here we find another reason why nothing succeeds like Success.
Every individual Mind can reach the goal in view, and accomplish what is desired,
if all the power of that Mind is concentrated upon the one thing that is to be done.
In other words, if all the talents and energies of any Mind are directed upon the
one object in view, that object simply cannot fail of realization, no matter how
difficult it may seem to be, for the fact is, that there is enough power in any Mind
to realize any human desire, provided the all of that Mind is correctly applied.
And he who really thinks that he can will apply more and more of that all.
The psychology of the statement, He can who thinks he can, is very simple, but
in the application of the principle, the individual must be absolutely certain that
he or she does think they can.
To illustrate, you may have a great achievement in Mind, and you may have come
to the conclusion that you positively can see it through successfully; but here is a
fine point. You may think that you can; but if the undertaking is very difficult,
one that will require much talent and time, you may, the more you consider the
magnitude of the project, find all sorts of little doubts coming up in your

thoughts; and these may be followed by a score of ifs and buts; so that really,
after all, you are not exactly thinking that you can. You are simply on the
outskirts of the can, and not as yet in the very spirit of the real I Can.
Here we must remember that mere hope or a general belief is not sufficient; nor
will it avail to pretend that you can, or try to bluff your Mind into the idea that
you really do think you can. The fact is, that when you actually think that you
can, and think so in the very spirit of that conviction, there will be no doubts
absolutely none and where there are no doubts, there are no impossibilities.
When we analyze this state of the Mind thoroughly, we shall find that every force,
every element and every atom of the Mind becomes imbued with the spirit of I
can whenever you really think that you can. The whole Mind, and the real life and
essence of the whole Mind, becomes aroused with the same positive conviction;
and this means that the whole Mind and everything in the Mind will begin to
concentrate positively upon the object in view, and proceed to work with full
force for the one thing you wish to accomplish.
Here, then, we find the very thing we all have been looking for: that is, the secret
of causing the whole of the Mind to work with full force for the object we have in view;
for we all agree that when all of the Mind every force, faculty, element and

power in the Mind when all of these work together upon any project, then
genuine Success will positively follow.
This may seem to be a farfetched statement; but we know that every Mind
contains undreamed of possibilities and latent forces beyond all limitation. Then we
have the vast subconscious field; so that every Mind has sufficient resources upon
which to draw for the realization of any goal or ambition conceivable. And there is
nothing that creates a greater draw upon the marvelous powers of the Mind, than
the deep interior feeling that you can.
Another fact of vital importance in the same connection is this, that the human
Mind has the power to reproduce itself again and again on a larger scale, i.e., your
own Mind has the power to make itself twice as large, twice as powerful and
twice as brilliant as it is now; and then rebuild itself a second time on a larger
scale, a third time, a fourth time, and any number of times for an indefinite period.
Every individual faculty or talent also has the same power; there is possibly
nothing more stupendous in the entire psychology world.
When we appreciate this fact, we shall never hesitate when facing difficult or
gigantic undertakings; and under no circumstance will we ever say, It cannot be
done; for every individual Mind has the power within itself to make itself large
enough and great enough to achieve anything.

Illustrating this fact, you may have an exceptional ambition, an ambition that
refuses to be downed; but your common sense informs you that your Mind will
have to be twice as large, twice as able, twice as powerful as it is now before that
ambition could be realized. Should you give up? The average person would.
However, here we come face to face with this stupendous fact: your own Mind
can reproduce itself on a larger scale, and become twice as powerful and twice as
able. Then should you give up your cherished ambition? Positively not! On the
contrary, you would proceed to rebuild your Mind again and again until it became
large enough to make that ambition come true.
There are thousands of promising men and women who declare, I would like to
do this; I have that particular ambition; but I have not the talent; I am not able
enough to do what I want to do. But what of it? The Mind can grow. You can
become able enough. That which is small today can become great and powerful
tomorrow. The force that can produce this increase in your own Mind, or in any
special faculty or talent, does exist now in your own Mind. And the first step
necessary to cause this great force to proceed with its wonderful work, is to
awaken within yourself the deep interior feeling that you can.
