“Believe
in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable
confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” Norman
Vincent Peale
Many
times in life we face situations when everything is uncertain. We feel like we
are lost in the dark and there is no hope to get out of it. We desperately need
help from other people to take us out of dark, but we forget that we have light
with us, within us. That light is nothing but belief in yourself. Belief that I
can handle this and everything will be fine.
“The
thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing
makes it happen.” Frank Lloyd Wright
Every
one of us has faced a phase where we start doubting our self. We start questioning
what if I can’t do this. This is nothing but negative voice inside us. We have
to replace it with positive strong statements like I can do it or I deserve it.
It is said that you win the half war when you start believing that you can win
it.
“You
can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have
it.” Robert Anthony
Let me share a
story of magic of belief which I read on Wikipedia. George Bernard Dantzig
was an American mathematical scientist who made important contributions to
operations research, computer science, economics, and statistics. An event in
Dantzig's life became the origin of a famous story in 1939 while he was a
graduate student at UC Berkeley.
Near the beginning
of a class for which Dantzig was late, Professor Jerzy Neyman wrote two
examples of famously unsolved statistics problems on the blackboard. When
Dantzig arrived, he assumed that the two problems were a homework assignment
and wrote them down. According to
Dantzig, the problems "seemed to be a little harder than usual", but
a few days later he handed in completed solutions for the two problems, still
believing that they were an assignment that was overdue.
Six weeks later,
Dantzig received a visit from an excited professor Neyman, eager to tell him
that the homework problems he had solved were two of the most famous unsolved
problems in statistics which were not solved by Einstein as well.
“Believe that life
is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.” William James
Success is only
possible if you believe that you can achieve it. Nobody will invest in you if
you don’t believe in yourself. You have to remind yourself to keep trust on
your opinion and judgments. Situations and world might be against you, but you
have to keep faith in yourself. Losers are not those who failed, but who didn’t
try.
It is common that
we normally lose faith in adverse time. We can always cherish time when we
conquered all the consequences. It will shift your thinking from depression to
joy.
You can walk on the
fire,
You can fulfill any
desire,
You can go higher
and higher
Just believe in
yourself and be aspire.
Just what I needed to hear!!!
