How to Believe in Yourself

I believe all people have the seeds of success within them. All they need to do is cultivate those seeds, water them, feed them, and they will begin to grow. So why do many people fail to grow and reach their potential? I have concluded that one of the main reasons is low self-esteem. Many people don’t believe in themselves. They possess a hundred acres of possibilities, yet never cultivate them because they are convinced that they won’t be able to learn and grow and blossom into something wonderful

Guideline to believe in yourself

1. Make a list of all of your best personal qualities. If you have positive self-esteem, then this will probably be easy for you. If you don’t, you may need to spend days or weeks creating the list. Don’t stop until you have written a hundred positive things about yourself and then spend time every day reading the list to remind yourself of your value. Using the list as a springboard, decide on the one word that best describes you. Make this word your North Star as you begin adding value to yourself.
2. Few things impact a person’s self-esteem more than the way they talk to themselves on a day-totday basis. Are you aware of how you talk to yourself? Keep track by using your smartphone or carrying an index card so you can tally the number of times each day this week that you think something positive or negative about yourself. In addition, you can ask close friends or family members to tell you whether they think you see yourself in a favourable or unfavourable light.
3. If you aren’t doing so already, find a way to serve and add value to others on a weekly basis. Do something that uses your strengths, benefits others, and makes you feel good about yourself. Start small. If you are already serving, then do more. It’s a good rule of thumb to give a tenth of your time to serving and adding value to others. So, for example, if you work forty hours a week, devote four hours to serving others

How To Develop The Power Of Belief

A person is a product of his own thoughts. Believe big. Adjust your thermostat forward. Launch your success offensive with honest, sincere belief that you can succeed. Believe big and grow big.

Here are the three guides to acquiring and strengthening the power of belief”

1. Think success, don’t think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, “I’ll win,” not I’ll probably lose.” When you compete with someone else, think, “I’m equal to the best,” not “I’m outclassed.’ When opportunity appears, think “I can do it,” never “I can’t.” Let the master thought “I will succed” dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.
2. Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not supermen. Success does not require a superintellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn’t based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have develop belief in themselves and what they do. Never-yes, never-sell yourself short.
3. Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier-certainly no more difficult-than small ideas and small plans
