Self Belief
SELF BELIEF IS THE FIRST STEP TO GREATNESS

‘Success is not governed by colour, creed, age or orientation: Success does not discriminate nor does it know boundaries. It does however depend upon dreams, persistence and self-belief. The moment you lose confidence in yourself, failure will follow’

1. Each of us, irrespective of means or circumstance, strives for some aspect of greatness in our lives. Each of us is a genius in some aspect of our existence. There are things I can do brilliantly, which others cannot. Similarly, there are things which others can do that I can’t. These are the things which drive us to greatness and empower all aspects of our world.

2. Unfortunately we often lose our way due to stress, outward pressures, distractions, reduced finances and a host of other impacting issues we allow to permeate our lives and derail us.
Each of us has a true purpose in life: Many of us continue from the cradle to the grave without realising just what it is. Others still, have a perfect vision in their minds of just what it is they are destined to achieve and exactly what it will take to get to that special place.

3. ‘Never be afraid of what you might achieve. Instead, be more afraid of what you might not’

4. As children, we’re often told by those who should know better, that we’re not tall enough; smart enough; creative or good looking enough to do anything special with our lives. Often it’s a well intentioned parent, sibling, friend, neighbour or complete stranger who negatively impacts our psyche and sets us on a path to nowhere.

5. This can continue through our teenage, youth and young adult years to such an extent we actually believe the venom of others and adopt the negativity as our own. It impacts our lives and overshadows every aspect of our development.

6. Very often, those who bombard us with this negativity are endeavouring to shield us from disappointment (they have encountered) by imposing their values on us.

    It is possible to be born into a successful family, but it is not possible to be born successful. The responsibility of being successful falls greatly upon me as an individual. While others can give an opinion, theory, or share their beliefs it is ultimately up to me to make my own decisions. At most I can adopt someone’s beliefs, I can imitate their actions, or even mimic their behaviors, but no one else is responsible for what happens in my life. It is up to me to put forth the hard work and dedication to reach the level of success that I desire. It is my personal responsibility to choose the path for my life and I choose success.…

    However, as described by Rick Warren, true purpose comes from a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It comes from living out this purpose through serving and sharing one’s life and faith with others. Understanding one’s purpose and meaning in life helps one to live this purpose out in his or her life, which in turn gives one a reason to live. In addition, when people live their lives for reasons outside of their own selves, it changes the way individuals approach their personal and professional lives. It allows humans to grow and succeed, and as pointed out by Aristotle, it can bring one to a sense of eudaimonia.…

    When growing up, children always look up to someone older than themselves. A child’s mind is like a sponge, gathering up other people’s actions and words. That is how children learn to share, talk and work well with others. Depending on the stimulation a child gets from others will alter the way that child’s personality is in the future.

    Stereotypes and people’s expectations of us greatly affect the way we live, especially if those stereotypes are negative and those expectations are low. Sherman Alexie perfectly illustrates this in his article, “Superman and Me”. He demonstrates how the power of expectations have caused Native Americans to lose hope, and remain stuck in a helpless cycle that is passed down through the generations. I wholeheartedly agree with Alexie that people are dragged down by the expectations of others. If people expect you to fail, you are more likely to develop a mentality that is negative and constantly view yourself as a failure. Thoughts are powerful. There’s a quote that talks about how your thoughts become words, words become action, habits…

Life is simple and simply the reason why we are still gaining knowledge, learning new things and passing it to others.
