Success Principle #5 - Believe in Yourself

You weren’t an accident. You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on Earth by the Master Craftsman
- MAX LUCADO

Believing in yourself is what some call self-confidence or self-esteem. It is the belief that you have what it takes. One of my favourite affirmations is: EVERYTHING I NEED IS WITHIN ME NOW. You have the abilities, skills, talents and resources within you now to create the life of your dreams.

As Jack mentions in the Big White Book – “Believing in yourself is a choice. It is an attitude you develop over time”. If you have a low self-esteem, you cannot blame your parents for passing their limited beliefs on to you. Nor can you blame the kids at school that teased and humiliated you. You need to take responsibility for where you are NOW. You need to believe that you CAN do anything that you set your mind to. Why? Because EVERYTHING I NEED IS WITHIN ME NOW. You CAN do anything!

Do you know that it is a proven fact that your subconscious does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. That being the case, with the proper training (in the form of visualizations, affirmations and positive self talk), coaching and practice – you can learn to do anything!

The brain is designed to solve any problem that you give it. All you need to do is ASK. Most people ask the wrong questions ie “Why do I never have enough money?” Instead you should be asking yourself “HOW can I make more money?”.

As a last note – You need to base what you want to do on YOUR goals and desires. Don’t look for approval from your parents, your friends, your next door neighbour. Do it for YOU. Follow your dreams and your heart.

Choose an area in your life that you are struggling with (career, relationships, money etc).
1. Write down any limiting beliefs you may have in this area
Ie. I never have enough money, I can never afford anything I want etc
2. Write down in what way does this belief limit you?
3. How do you want to be, feel or act?
4. Now turn your statement around to be something that affirms you.
ie I always have enough money. I can afford anything I want. etc


Yours in Success
