Can you spot a winner? I can. They’re the ones who expect to win, no matter what. Think of someone who’s always positive. Someone who’s always optimistic. They’re the ones who will succeed.
What do you call winners who didn’t expect to win? ‘Lucky’ comes to mind. But those with the right mental attitude have a self-fulfilling prophesy. In the long run, they’ll get what they want. And because of this long-term vision, they have the energy, drive, enthusiasm, and motivation to keep going at it, day after day, through ups and downs.
What if you don’t believe in controlling your own destiny? Well you must believe in someone else controlling your destiny. That faith is the same psychology we’re talking about.
Why do I believe in you? Because you took the time to read this! You’re looking for something and putting the effort out, and believing you’ll find it. You will! Don’t give up!

I’m sure you’ve heard of the world phenomenon that’s changed people’s lives called “The Secret.” It began with a movie (which can be bought or viewed online) about the Law of Attraction. It states that what you think and believe becomes reality. It’s not a science, as it’s not measurable, however, it’s effectiveness lays in the user/believer. Their system is as follows:
1) knowing what you want
2) asking the system for it
3) Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way
4) Be open to receiving it
I would simplify it even further: If you believe something more than anybody else, then it will be true. Think of all the cults, enthusiasts, weirdos, psychos out there who have gotten their way, even though the rest of us didn’t believe. Their belief was stronger than ours!
Another self-help video of similar caliber is called Pass It On. There are 3 main points of success, and here are the steps to get them

b) Positive energy, thinking, speaking

3) success

I liked those 2 videos because they sum up a lot of the self-help information out there. Of course, these are not complete, they’re just summaries. You can get by just by watching the trailers and figure out what the message is. Do your best and grow everyday.
