We’ve all probably been in this situation before.
We didn’t think that we can do something but when told that it’s real easy, hey presto, we too can do it.
It can be something as simple as unscrewing the cap of a bottle. We all know how tight these things can be. Sometimes we will try to unscrew the thing to the point were we are red in the face but it just wouldn’t budge. But when we see that somebody else can easily do it (sometimes these people are not necessarily bigger or stronger than us), we find that we can do it too.
Why is it different?
It’s because when we were handed the bottle the first time, we were usually told that the cap is tight or it’s stuck, so we too believe that it’s going to take a lot of effort to unscrew it and we just don’t have it in us. But when somebody else succeed where we failed, we immediately see that it is possible.
When we do something believing that it can be done, we can accomplish anything.
You’ll be amazed at what can happen when you believe in your abilities. An example is the man who lost his ability to walk after an accident. But if he believes that he will be able to walk again, it is possible. It might take time and many hours of physiological therapy, but as long as he believes in his ability, he will walk again.
Isn’t that what happens to our life most of the time?
There are people who want salary raise but don’t believe that they deserve it so they never got it.
There are people who want to start a business but don’t believe they have the capability so they failed.
There are people who want to win but don’t believe they could be the winner so they lost.
When you have the right belief system, you’ll succeed simply because you know it is POSSIBLE for you to be successful. In almost every case, if you want to become successful, you should convince your own self of the possibility, so it’s all about personal improvement. It is YOU who decide whether you want to achieve your goal or not and when you set your mind to it, nothing’s going to stop you.
Everything else is just background noise that can be tuned out.
Isn’t that interesting? All it takes is a shift in our believe system.
