Believe

As a kid I always wanted to believe that there was a better way of life and that anything was possible. The problem was that other people always tell you its hard or its not easy or yeah it would be great only if. And even though these statements aren’t outright negative comments, they diminish the dream life can be if you will let them.

Belief is something I can see and visualize how great it would be if I could just let myself go and have complete total faith in myself and god. Wouldn’t it be great if I could just relax into a state of confidence and move forward. Success helps to reinforce belief, but it is funny how many people even ones open to the discussion of developing faith and belief in themselves will allow negative or “Show me the money” skepticism to invade their psychology.

During these moments, when I have found myself in great struggle and internal conflict. It is during these times that it becomes imperative you push forward. Giving up and just staying in that job you hate will only temporarily make it go away or numb you to the dream that life is meant to be.

If you have a deep belief in yourself and get determined to push through you will develop and grow through the pain. Just like exercise we get stronger with practices and continuous effort. No, losing weight isn’t easy and requires real work. The same is true with faith and belief we must work at it especially in times when if feels so much like quitting or changing course is what makes the most sense. In these moments I have found that it helps to have one or all of the following tools available;

• Exercise
• Affirmations
• Mentors
• Clear vision of your goals
• Breathing and Meditation skills
• Perseverance

And if all else fails relax and step away for an hour or the rest of the day. Read a book or take a walk recharge yourself and examine your goals.

Then Get Back to Work. Nothing beats ACTION when building a belief system in yourself.
