We can be our biggest cheerleaders — or our biggest critics. And the difference between the two options matters.
Believing in yourself is crucial to succeeding.
The magic happens when you have a belief in self.
Self-efficacy, or your ability to believe in yourself, can improve your success rate tremendously.
If you can believe it, you really can achieve it. It helps to adopt a growth mindset and cultivate the ability to accept and learn from your mistakes.
At the end of the day, only you can act on the opportunities in your life.
At some point in your life, you’ll have to take a leap of faith. And you’ll have to trust in your ability to survive it.
You’ll encounter all sorts of obstacles in life. You’ll feel tired, wary, and want to quit. But if you believe in yourself, you will realise that better is possible.
How can you reach your goals if you don’t even think you can?
There are two kinds of people in the World.
One, who says
“If I see it, I will believe it.”
The second group, which says,
“To see it, I have to first believe it”
Which type are you?
Everything in this world was achieved by those who believed,
Edmund Hillary believed he could conquer Mt Everest & he did.
Inventors, the ones who made those amazing scientific discoveries, all believed they could & despite countless failures & obstacles, they managed to achieve their objective.
When you believe, something is impossible, your mind goes to work for you, to prove why.
But, when you believe, really believe, something can be done, your mind goes to work for you and helps you find ways to do it.
First, you have to believe & then it will happen.
The universe will conspire to deliver it to you.
Just to illustrate the power of self-belief – According to scientists, the Bumblebee’s body is too heavy and its wing span too small.
Aerodynamically, the bumblebee cannot fly.
But the bumblebee doesn’t know that and it keeps flying.
When you don’t know your limitations, you surprise yourself.
In hindsight, you wonder if you have any limitations. The only limitations a person has are those that are self-imposed.
Don’t let education, your resources, insecurities, relationships and past experience put limitations on you.
Believe in your dream,
Believe in yourself,
Believe in God and his timing,
Believe and achieve & stay blessed forever.
