Your personal belief in yourself is critical when it comes to having success in anything you do. What causes a person to believe in themselves or not, most times, is caused by outside forces. Whether what you believe is true about you is not the real issue. It’s what you choose to believe that matters. You can not control how you are raised, to a degree you can not control what others think of you. However, I feel strongly that you do have control of your own personal belief of whether you can succeed or not at whatever your choose to do.

You can choose

You can and should decide what your personal beliefs are. Mind you most of your life you likely have developed them unknowingly due to outside forces. You can change all of that by simply making your own choices of what is true or not true and while doing that you will affect the outcome of success or failure to a great degree just by consciously making a choice. Yes, you can choose to believe in yourself to succeed.

To do this you first need to stop automatically thinking you can not do something. For example, you wish you could do ———-. Stop the first negative thought and decide if this is something you truly wish to do. If the answer is yes you can now choose to say to yourself, “You know what, I bet I could learn to do that.”.

Believe to Succeed

You see positive thinking is the first key to unlocking any kind of success. Does it guarantee success? Of course not. However, it does greatly affect the next key to success. That being your personal belief that you can succeed. You see if you feel you can not do something, then more than likely you’re correct. That’s because negativity loves failure.

Whereas in reality you truly don’t know if you will succeed or fail at any endeavor you take on. In other words, if you feel you will fail, then odds are you will. If you feel you can do it then the odds are greater that you will succeed. Why you may wonder? Well, that is easy to explain.

When a person believes they can’t do something, the mind will find every reason why that is true. When a person believes they can do something, the mind will start working on ways to overcome the obstacles that could show up. You see your brain does not like to be wrong and it does not always consider what is best for you. It merely supports whatever conclusion you have decided on. Therefore it will support your personal belief.

Practice, practice

So get positive thinking down first if you need to, now that you know you can choose. It’s time to practice making your personal belief success-minded. Even though, as stated earlier, it does not guarantee your success I hope you at least understand how and why it is critical for your success. The main thing to remember is that your brain will support whatever you believe.

It will take practice if you’re not used to having confidence in yourself. However, I know you can do it. You have nothing to lose in changing how you think. Actually, there is a lot to gain. Even if you don’t fully succeed at whatever it is you choose, you will gain the ability to think better, and stronger and will start overcoming obstacles. You’ll become more creative. Remember your brain is going to support whatever decision you make, so it will do everything it can to prove that your inner thoughts and feeling about yourself are true. So believing in success will lead you to be more successful.

This does not mean that you won’t have any negative thoughts or feelings. It just means you don’t have to give in to them. For instance, if your mind or someone else, points out a possible reason why you might not be able to accomplish your desire. Just be grateful for the information so you can think about how you might be able to solve the problem to better increase your chances of achieving your goal. With some things, you can even deny it as a possibility, as in “Nah I can’t see that happening”, and continue with your endeavor.

Aim for the stars

With changing your personal belief in yourself to being more positive start with small easy goals. This way you can train yourself to realize that it is true you can change. As time goes on you will come to realize when you believe in yourself, it’s ok to dream big and go after it. Knowing that by aiming high you will accomplish so much more than aiming for something at ground level. At that point, you will feel successful even if you don’t reach the golden ring of success, especially when you look back to where you had started and see how far you have come.

So go ahead and change your personal belief to success, I know you can do it. It’s now time for you to know it too.
