7 Powerful Reasons
Why You Should Believe in Yourself
Oskar Nowik
Some people say it’s resources, luck, background or connections that
create successful people. Whereas I surely agree that all these and many other
factors influence the path of every individual, the most contributing factor to
achieving something significant is self-belief.
Without this key ingredient, there’s not a lot that could
help you.
“The biggest difference I’ve noticed between successful
people and unsuccessful people isn’t intelligence or opportunity or resources.
It’s the belief that they can make their goals happen.”
James Clear
To put yourself on the track to success, you need to
understand that your brain always plays
against you. It doesn’t care about your big goals; the
only thing it wants is to keep you alive. Therefore, we experience
procrastination, self-doubt, negative thinking, anxiety and so on.
The sure-fire way to overcome these obstacles is to not
believe in them and truly believe in yourself.
1. If you don’t
believe in yourself, who else will?
Honestly, if you don’t believe you’re going to succeed,
then how on earth would anybody else do? Let’s say you want to build a
successful business and you need to convince the investors
that your idea is the one worth putting funds into.
The first thing is to absolutely believe your concept is
going to succeed,
otherwise no one will trust in it. You won’t either.
Imagine living a life without arms and legs. This is the
reality of Nick Vujicic.
Most people including himself doubted his ability to live
a normal life. He even attempted suicide. The moment he found belief, however,
was the turning point.
Now, Nick lives a life without limitations, travelling
the world and inspiring millions of people
to believe in themselves, regardless of circumstances.
2. You build
self-confidence
If you are not confident enough, you’ll break like a twig
the first time you face an obstacle.
Whatever you want to achieve, there will be countless
barriers questioning your competences.
The only way to get through them is by being confident
enough that you can and will.
This confidence comes from within, from the deep belief
in yourself and your abilities.
3. You are one
step closer to winning and succeeding
There’s that one goal you have in mind for a long time.
You know what it takes to get there
and you know the examples of people who did it
successfully. Now that the path is clear,
what you need is to believe that you can do it as well,
and then take action.
By creating that positive attitude, you realize that what
separates you from accomplishing your goal is just the matter of time and work.
This feeling of being closer to your target drastically
increases your chances of hitting it.
4. You inspire
yourself to take action
Once you literally see yourself arriving at the desired
finish line,
you are highly motivated to work toward your goal.
You know it’s doable and within your reach, so you
attempt until you finally get there.
Michael Jordan failed countless times. As he admits, he
missed thousands of shots
and lost hundreds of games. However, he realized that’s
part of the process
so he used it as a driving force to work even harder.
He also emphasizes it’s failure that enabled him huge
success.
Jordan’s attitude is something everyone should borrow.
When you fail over and over again, be aware that you are
just getting closer to a triumph.
5. You form
positive attitude required to success.
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
Winston Churchill
Being negative and visioning the worst scenario is the
easiest way to never achieve your goals.
Due to self-belief, your attitude becomes the right one.
There’s no way to convince a man
with the wrong mindset that he can. Same goes for telling
people with a positive attitude
that they can’t. It’s like water off a duck’s back, they
don’t hear the negative talk from the naysayers.
6. You realize
failure is part of the process and temporary
Niklas Hed together with his mobile game development team
created 51 games
and all them were failures. This, however, enabled them
to build Angry Birds,
an app that dominated the app store and became a worldwide
phenomenon.
Countless failures seemed to be the secret to succeeding.
Some could think that creating 51 unsuccessful games means the failure is
inescapable. But it turned out to be just temporary.
Now, when you experience nothing but constant failure,
don’t give up,
maybe the next attempt is your pivotal moment.
7. You let the
negative thoughts fade away
“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones,
you’ll start having positive results.”
Willie Nelson
How many times did you tell yourself you can’t? I used to
do it way too often.
Finding an excuse that seems reasonable is incredibly
easy, since our brains love to rationalize.
By feeding your brain with positive thinking and
self-belief affirmations,
you create no space for pessimistic thoughts. And even
when they arrive from time to time,
your confident attitude beats them instantly.
Set a goal for
yourself
"Life is hard at times. But when I overcome more
challenges, I become much stronger then.
So I’m going to embrace them."
