DO YOU BELIEVE ?

Do you believe you can do what you want to do ? Is there any doubt in your mind ? What is it that is causing you to not believe in yourself ? These are all necessary questions that you should ask yourself,because if you are going to achieve your dreams and your goals the first person you will have to convince is yourself.If you don't believe in yourself,how do you expect other people to believe in you.So the million dollar question is how do you get your mind in a state of belief ? Well there are a few basic steps that you can take,you will however have to be committed to these steps or they won't work.
 Firstly you will have to sit by yourself and do some soul searching,do a self evaluation of the root cause of your non belief in yourself,maybe it's something that someone said,maybe it's something that someone did,no matter how bad it was it can be turned around into a positive.Don't allow negative people to get you down.After you dig deep and find what's been holding you back,the next step is to now do something about changing all of that.Remember whatever it is that is troubling you,no one can change it but you.You now get your pen and paper.Divide the page in two by drawing a line through the middle,on one side you have PROBLEM and on the other side you have SOLUTION. You now write down all you think is holding you back on the PROBLEM side and really think about what can be done to turn this around on the SOLUTION side.Every problem has a solution and most times we know the solution to our problems but we're just afraid to confront the real issues and get rid of them once and for all.If you're having trouble coming up with solutions you might have to get a trusted friend to help you with this sometimes two heads are better than one to think stuff through.
   Secondly you will have to develop your TENACITY, the V2 Vocabulary dictionary defines TENACITY as follows "Persistent determination in holding to something, especially opinions, valuables, and routines." You will have to develop a thicker skin so that no matter what anyone does or says to you in the future you will under no circumstance lose sight of your goal.You may have to start reading some inspirational/motivational  books to help you in this step,if you can even get your hands on some inspirational/motivational tapes while you drive or workout to help build you up that would be great also.
 Thirdly you will have to surround yourself with positive people who are willing to help you overcome your fears and people who encourage you and genuinely want to see you succeed. You might have to get rid of some of the friends you have now,some of these people are very toxic and they carry a very negative energy with them,they never have anything good to say about anything or anyone.You will have to move away from that type of environment.You might not realize it,but they are hurting you even more than you think.They flood your mind with negative emotions,and the thing about it is, a negative habit sets in easier and quicker than a positive one.
     You will have to commit to change,change won't come easily.In order to get where you want to be you must believe you can get there,so put the above steps into action and I'm sure you'll see a positive change and you will start to believe in yourself and your abilities a lot more.
