OUT OF THE QUESTION ????

Belief is a thing that makes you move forward, pursue what we want. We all face mountain of problems. If we have belief of going through them, we steadfast on our decisions and keep moving forward. It’s our decision to either become a victim, of our own circumstances, or move on. So we either believe or we don’t. It’s not always easy to have that self-belief. Sometimes it takes work. Self-belief; nobody will believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself. It allows us to defy the odds. Acceptance comes when you are confident about yourself. There is a very thin line between living and just existing in life.

The only solution to build your self-belief is to first accept that you lack self-belief. The moment you diminish denial that you don’t lack self-belief you change from inside out. There is indeed a difference between arrogance and self-confidence. The journey to build self-belief requires acceptance and will power. You need to realize that you need to accept the fact that you need to change. Self-belief can be learned to build. The moment you allow doubt to move in your life all the plans get shattered right away. A positive adaptive mind-set is everything. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish wonders. That inner voice that keeps telling you that you can’t, creates self-doubt. So all we need is to diminish self-doubt and plant your feet firmly on the ground and move forward.

Life can be full of surprises. All we need to do is find ways to stay positive and enhance Endorphin (happy hormone) in our body by all means necessary. We need to become our own motivational coach. Most importantly we need to associate ourselves with people who inspire us in life. People who keep motivating us in times we need a shoulder to lean on. A moral and verbal support that allows us to stay positive and learn what needs to be learned. As change comes with learning. We need to upgrade ourselves in every aspect of our life. I believe that 20% learning comes from books and 80% of it comes from experience.

Experience of successful people introduces implemented knowledge to us. Implemented knowledge is power. You see smart people learn from their mistakes but successful people learn from other’s mistakes. Lack of submission holds us back at times to excel in our Life. We need to be open for feedback. We need to submit ourselves fully in order to understand what’s going on around us. Mistakes are the best way to get success in Life. We shouldn’t carry our mistakes around with us, instead we need to place those mistakes under our feet and use them as stepping stones in our life. Learning from your mistakes is the only secret to success. The most valuable thing in life is a mistake that molds you into a successful person. You can never learn from perfection because there is no such thing as perfection in life.

No matter how crucial the World presents itself to be, you can only learn by adapting to the very situation that you avoid getting mixed up with. A person is inadequate in our society who haven’t encountered mistakes in their life. There is time to make mistakes and a time to move on with the wisdom provided us from that mistake. Sooner or later we all realize that we are just pawns doing our thing in this World. Each of us has a role to play in this World. Most importantly no one can give us what we want we have to earn what we wish for.

Sean Covey once said, I quote, “Sow a thought and you reap an act. Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.”
