Can you remember how many times you
have been responding to people that you are successfully doing what you do
because you believe in your ability to do it? This is what many people usually
tell me when I ask them to let me know what enabled them to do all amazing
things they have done.
In fact this is true to everybody for
you will always do something successfully and confidently only if you believe
that you have an ability to do so, otherwise you are going to hesitate doing it
and if you dare try, you will probably do it with less confidence which may
make you do it wrongly or succeed with lucky.
The source of your strong belief in something
You will always believe strongly in
something you know in detail, so for you to believe in something you must be
informed first, belief doesn’t come from air and embrace you instead is an
outcome of the information you get in your mind, understanding it, accepting it
and the result of these processes is you believing in it.
Therefore a true and sustainable
belief in something must go through understanding and accepting the information
not only hearing it. If you just try to believe in things you haven’t
understood well it is obvious that you won’t last in such belief for you won’t have
any reason which binds you to such a thing.
If you are a religious person for you
to have a conviction to your God (conviction is the next level after having a
strong faith from which one can be ready to die for what he/she believe) you
must learn in detail and understand well the philosophy of your religion. Make
sure you truly understand the message in your bible or Qur'an for instance.
Any belief to be strong needs reference
What you know about something is the
reference to your belief in such a thing. You believe in God because you have
reference on him. Someone told you or you learnt from bible or Qur'an for instance,
that he is able to help you which is why you believe in him and that is your
reference. You also believe that you can do big things because you previously
discovered that you have an ability, talent and skills to do so and that is
your reference which supports your belief.
Therefore for you to strengthen your belief in you
You must strengthen your reference
about you, what I mean here is that you are needed to learn more about your
ability to do things, keep on discovering other competences and talents you
have in doing amazing things, learn more and more to improve and add your
personal skills to pursue your carrier and doing other unique discoveries.
Always learn from the mistakes you are doing and try to improve them next time,
read books to know about what you want to know and do it, attend seminars about
your personal and carrier development in town and online, try to be creative
thinker always a person who question why things are the way they are and how
they can be improved to be more better? All the information you are going to
acquire through learning this way will be your reference which will surely
strengthen your belief in you to whatever you want to do.
For belief or faith gives you
confidence especially when you try out doing what you believe, then you will
obviously become competent and successful. So in order to strengthen your
belief in you, you must strengthen your references by learning more and more
about your ability to do things. And this learning as I explained above will
mean your personal development. For it to be real, never end up on learning
about you but make sure you do what you learn about you so that you can be
competent for there isn’t any powerful learning like what comes out of
experience just after doing something. LIVE YOUR LEARNING.
All the best!
