Do you believe in yourself?
I don't know this guy but I am sure he believed in himself!
Why is belief in self important?
If you believe in yourself, then anything is possible. You have no need for external validation, external praise, external conditioning to pursuit the life of your dreams. You are simply a bird that knows where you are flying to regardless of the terrain below you… you are able to stay on course! If you want to become somebody of great importance on this rock, you MUST believe in your abilities no matter what others say.
The problems that arise from a lack of confidence
Believing in yourself, your abilities, your physical as well as mental being is something that I believe should be taught at soon after one is born. Believing in yourself has such a huge effect on your life as you develop and grow. From your social circle to who you end up spending your live with. If you lack confidence, you will more often than not, take the easy route through life. If you are offered a challenge, it’s always simpler to ask others to help guide you through a situation instead of standing tall and charging forward. I believe it’s important to get information from others but too many people take this to an extreme. They are unable to make a decision in life without talking to somebody to confirm their initial thoughts and inspirations. If you believe in yourself, you are so far ahead of many other people it really isn’t comparable!
What does belief in self bring?
If you belief in yourself, you will not require others to prop-up your self-esteem. You will not be concerned with how others view you nor how they react to your actions to the detriment of your goals. Basically, if you can grow from within instead of asking for help from others to improve yourself, you are an incredibly powerful being capable of turning even the most impossible of dreams into a reality.
Belief is a powerful thing
I must warn you, once you come to the realization that you can do ANYTHING in life without regard for what others may think of you, not only are you powerful but you become the absolute master of your destiny. Seriously, if you don’t need others to confirm your decisions, life suddenly becomes far easier and enjoyable. The reason being, most people what to be around “the same” just like dentists have other dentists as friends. If you truly want to achieve a lot in this, your only life, you have to be willing to drop people who cannot or worse, prevent you from succeeding. Sometimes people stop talking to you because you achieved a great success, you have to realize that this is their primal reaction brought on by jealousy and loss. You are and will become a different person.
How do you come to the point of believing in yourself?
How do you become good at riding a bike or passing a test, you study and practice as much as you can! If you don’t believe in yourself, others cannot help you, this power must be nurtured and grown from within to shine outward. You cannot have others “tell” you or “convince” you to gain self-confidence… you must do this yourself and stand-by it!
The Bottom Line
I am Jon Cantin and I believe in myself!
