Everybody is capable of great things, but not everybody believes they can achieve great things, which is a real shame as the world doesn’t need another person who simply doesn’t believe they will get what they want; the world is already full of people like this.
What it needs are people who come up with new ideas, follow through on their goals, believe they can be successful and go out and create the life for themselves that they most desire. There aren’t enough people like this in the world today.
Too many people are living a life far removed from what they really want. Don’t be like them. You are here for a reason and are entitled to live the life you most want to live. The world is a stage and it wants you to take your place and it is by holding belief in yourself that you can and will be able to create the life you most want. By not holding self belief you will almost certainly miss out on a lot of what life has to offer, so you have a choice, either believe in yourself and refuse to and accept anything less or accept where you are now is where you will always be.
When you start anything new in your life believe that you will be successful, and that it will all work out in the end. it is possible to have the life you most want but you will first have to believe it is possible.
Lacking self belief is like starting a journey, but already knowing you are never going to reach the destination, sooner or later you will realize it is pointless continuing and so you will stop and give up. With self belief you wouldn’t have this problem, you would just keep going, until you reached your destination. If you got on a bus with a destination in mind, but the driver confirmed to you that the bus didn’t go there, would you still buy a ticket and ride anyway? Probably not, then why bother setting off on a journey to create a new life for yourself if you don’t really believe it will happen?
Nobody starts a journey and hopes they acquire some self belief along the way, your tank (self belief) needs to be full before you start.
Ask yourself this, what exactly are you attempting to make happen that you can’t have some self belief in yourself. Is your goal to feed, clothe and look after 500,000 starving children, or are you planning to arrange a tea party on the moon for a group of 25 senior citizens. Just what is it you want to achieve in life?
It is about having a firm belief in your abilities to do what is necessary to take your life to the next level. It is not about having faith in 100 strangers you just met on the street to get you there, but faith in the one person you know better than anyone else in the world. Is it really so hard to believe in yourself?
What sort of journey do think it will be if you decide to not really believe that you will get what you want, but you will try anyway? How far do you think you will get?
There are some people in life who don’t even bother to start anything such is the complete lack of belief they hold. Do you know anyone who might say that they want to do something, but that they won’t because they don’t really believe it will be a success? What do you immediately think when you hear someone say this, perhaps you yourself have been guilty of saying something similar?
They make no attempt at making it happen, and instead they give up on themselves and what they want. They make no plans, they take no action and they suffer the consequences as a result. Why do they give up? Simply because they harbor a belief (limiting) that they won’t be able to achieve success at whatever activity they want to start. They lack self-belief in themselves.
Don’t adopt a burnt out defeatist attitude before the race has even started, instead choose to think positively and believe that you will be successful in the things that you set out to do.
It takes guts, courage, determination and self belief to make a go of something, age is no barrier to this, and you don’t need a great education to have these qualities, they are available to anyone. The person who takes action in life to make something happen will first believe in themselves.
Have you ever heard an athlete talk about how they will win the gold medal before the race has started? Then when the talking stops they take their place on the starting line, they do indeed go and win the gold medal. Are they surprised when they win? They are elated, pleased and very happy with themselves, but not necessarily surprised. After all why would they be surprised, they would have always known deep down they could do it? People who achieve great success in life know they will be successful before the time comes to step up and collect their prize (whatever that may be), this ‘knowing’ comes as a result of the self-belief they hold.
Will you get what you want?
Will you get what you want in life? When you start something in life how confident are you before you start that it will turn out well, because a lot of success and failure comes down to the self-belief held by the person as they start and continue to work on any new challenge.
Creating change or getting what you want from life is about first believing that it is possible and that you can achieve it. And while self-belief in itself will not automatically guarantee you success, it will certainly be one of the reasons you do or do not start and certainly continue to take action in your life until your ideal life situation manifests itself in front you.
Do you know whether or not you will succeed or fail in life? Because to have self belief is to already know you will get what you want, and that you will succeed.
What it needs are people who come up with new ideas, follow through on their goals, believe they can be successful and go out and create the life for themselves that they most desire. There aren’t enough people like this in the world today.
