If You Believed That You Could Do It — What Would You Do?
What you could do if you believed in yourself is not just words on a motivational poster.
In my experience, do you know who we tend to have the hardest time believing in? Ourselves.
Look at who people tend to believe in. Talking heads, politicians, oligarchs, demagogues, and leaders with fleeting power on multiple levels. And that’s just the individuals that people believe in.
What about abstract entities and intangibles? People believe in countries, sports teams, religions, God, ridiculous conspiracy theories, and other things and matters. There is a tremendous amount of faith out there for things we mostly cannot touch.
But for ourselves? If we believed in ourselves with the same degree of faith and dedication we give to those other people and abstract intangibles? We’d be seeing very different news reports than we tend to.
Why does this matter? Because when you are empowered, you are in control. But there are a lot of forces that seek to lessen how much you and I believe in ourselves.
Why? Because then we’d not need them.
But it all begins with individuals and what we believe about ourselves.
