Mastering the Art of Success
you feel worse. You have to see yourself overcoming the situation and
coming into your victory.
I never look at where I am, I always look at where I want to go. If Iām
down, I start looking up. If you want to be successful, you have to start
painting pictures in your mind of coming victories. Inhale
encouragement and exhale defeat. No matter what is going on in my
lif e, I have the power within me to rise above it and throw off the
heaviness.
So when I am tempted to get down in the dumps and stay ther e, I
just stop for a minute and remind myself that I am never alone and
there is an amazing well of power within me and available when I use it.

What s uccessful person do other people tell you that you most
resemble?
ALI
Most people who meet me think that I am a celebrity or that they
have seen me on television. People who have met me think that I
resemble Janet Jackson. The reason I was excited about this book
project is because so many people already thought that they have seen
me on a cover of a book. I have been approached on several o ccasions
and p eople asked me about my book, and I had no idea of what they
were talking about. I know that I ām destined toward national television.
This b ook is only the start of me becoming a nationally recognized
author.

Do you despair at the prospect of continuing your monotonous
nine-to-five job? Do you fear job insecurity and the future?
ALI
I do not d espair of job security or the future because my faith is not
in this worldly system, but in God. I know that He is in control and that
everything I go through is taking me to my divine destiny.
