Before something great can be achieved, there is usually a belief that it can be done. With this belief in place, what your mind will do is to think of possible ways to get it done, then the thoughts will be backed up by actions and boom!! it will be done. Having a strong belief that a solution can be gotten will make you to lay less emphasis on the problem at hand and rather focus your attention on finding the solution.
Your success starts from your mind
The above statement is popularly used, particularly in this part of the world, and I see truth in it. You will agree with me that the major part of your actions were once your thoughts. As the thoughts flashed, you gave heed to them and they became dominant. The dominant thought grew from the mind and gained expression through your action. In other words, what you express goes a long way to tell what goes on in your mind.
It is very important that you believe not just in yourself but in your dreams too. This will give you the zest and oomph to pursue after it. Remember that when you do not stand up for what you earnestly believe in, you will likely fall for just anything. A point may come when you will have to stand all alone in order to stand for what you believe in. After all, life's race is more of individual than collective.
If you do not stand alone when the need arises, you may not stand out and without standing out, being outstanding may only be a fairy tale. No matter the pressures and whatnot, do not disbelieve in yourself in order to join the bandwagon. For others to believe in you, you have the responsibility to believe in yourself first. It is your belief in yourself and in your abilities that will make you to believe that your goals are achievable.
Your belief should not be a function of your social background nor is it dependent on your status. Rather, it is heavily dependent on your spirit of "I can do this, and I will do it". No force is strong enough to stand in the way of someone that is determined to breakthrough even against all odds. I remember the slogan of Barack Obama during his US presidential campaign and I believe that the slogan has a very strong message of hope to everyone:
Yes we can
If you believe within yourself that you can get something done, then eventually you will, because your "yes I can" spirit will be activated to give it all it takes and that same spirit will never take negativities nor "no" for an answer. On the other hand, when you conclude that you cannot achieve something, discouragement will set in and any slightest odd will sway you off your feet.
Your belief is exclusive preserved of yourself alone. That is, no one will do the believing for you. Even if your friends and family believe in you, it will make little or no sense if you do not believe in yourself because your own personal belief is all that matters to your success. When things come to attack your belief, remind yourself that you are stronger than the prevailing situation and that you will come out even stronger. No wonder this popular slogan has it that:
The things that cannot kill us will definitely make us to become stronger.
