subject: Belief Is The Secret [print this page] Every single accomplishment in life begins at the same place belief. Every achievement was preceded by the belief that the accomplishment was possible as well the belief by the achiever that he or she had what it took to achieve such a dream. Without belief, even the most uninspiring of dreams remain unfulfilled; yet with belief, true belief, many men have achieved what most would have at some point considered impossible. Belief is the key. Belief is the differentiator.
Belief is the secret. Even if everyone around you lauded you on and told you that you had every ability to achieve a particular goal, unless you truly believed in yourself, that goal will forever remain unachievable. Whereas, if you truly believed in yourself to achieve a particular goal, no matter how impossible, yet everyone else told you otherwise, you will eventually prove them wrong and achieve that goal. Why? Because you believed in yourself, you persisted and remained self disciplined. The type of belief that achieves great success comes from the inside and not from what others tell you is possible or impossible.
This is why the degree of success enjoyed by different people is directly related to how much success they truly believe they can achieve. It all starts in your head. Your limit of your belief in yourself and your ability will determine the limits of your achievement in life and your actions follow your belief. Think about it someone who believes that he or she is destined to be a millionaire will have a different attitude and behaviour pattern from someone just coasting through life and getting back. The individual with the millionaire belief (I mean someone who truly believes and not just wishes) will get up earlier, sleep later, plan more, work harder, invest better, use their time more productively, constantly seek out opportunities, invest in themselves, empower themselves, make the most of every situation, complain less, be more proactive, network with people more, persistently pursue their goal, apply discipline in their lives and son on.
The guy with the get by belief on the other hand will just get back, do the bare minimum, blame everyone, everything and the kitchen sink for their lack of opportunities, wake up later, sleep earlier, spend their time less productively and will be far less proactive.
Beliefs drive actions, and it is our actions that will in turn determine the results we have in life, both good and bad.
