NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS
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.
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.

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 interesting to the extreme.
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.
