BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

"Everyone around may say; No! You can't. But if you say, yes I can, then you are right"               ---------Emeka Agbedo
I believe strongly that the indispensable first step to becoming successful in life is to believe in yourself against all odds. I mean against all internal and external opposing thoughts and suggestions. Believing or having a total confidence in yourself is the biggest secret to getting things done in life. It has also been the fundamental human trait which helped a lot of those who are successful in one area of their life or the other. In short it is responsible for what you have been able to achieve in life so far. It has worked and it is still working for many of us though we are unaware of it.
It is usual that each time we are asked to mention or list the characters or traits that one needs to possess in order to be successful in life, the list always look like this; persistence, determination, being positive, honesty, working hard/studying hard, save for the rainy day, doggedness, and lots more to be mentioned.
Now, there is no doubt that the above mentioned traits are exactly what we need . However, one fact that many of us are yet to know is that those traits, though are straight to the point, they are not going to produce results or be effective if the subject or the person who possess them do not believe in him or herself.
Each and everyone of us has been able to do whatever we have done since all our lives because we believed we can. The truth is that no one can be persistent if he does not believe he can be. No one can be determined if he or she does not believe he or she can be. None of us can be positive if we do not believe we can be. And you can't work or study hard if you don't believe you can .
The undeniable truth here is that we were all created with the psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual and other requisite abilities to accomplish most of our dreams in life. No wonder Napoleon Hills once said, "that whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve".
Now, believing alone cannot make things happen if they cannot happen. For instance, believing that you can raise a person who has been dead for over three months ago from death is an irrational belief and it cannot happen no matter how long you may believe it. It cannot happen because you don't have the ability in you. Are you Jesus?
The basic reason why you "can" is not just because you believe, but because you already have the ability in you. Believing in yourself ie believing in what you already have in you is what you need to tap from that ability which is already in you. The formula is; if you believe in it, then you can have it. Mohamed Ali, an American heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medal holder during his life time as a boxer believed in himself so much and it helped him throughout his career as a boxer. That time he used to refer to himself as "the greatest". He believed in himself because he knew he had the abilities in himself. During that period, each time he was interviewed by the media, he used to tell his opponents and fans "I am Mohamed Ali. I am the greatest". And truly he became one of the greatest boxers in the world.
The importance of believing in yourself aka self confidence is that it stimulates optimism in those who possess it. If you believe in yourself, it arouses in you the sense of a positive outcome.  It kindles an emotion that inspires you to work harder. When you already know that you can achieve what you are trying to achieve, you will find it difficult to give up. In other words, people who believe in themselves do not easily give up on their goals or dreams. Believing in yourself will incite a never-say-never attitude in you. The fact is that some times, people who believe in themselves do fail. Yes! They miss their targets once in a while. But the good news here is that they don't use that as an excuse to give up. They do fail but they don't see failure as final. They see failure as a feedback. They see failure as a lesson. So, though such people fail, they will not give up. Rather they will change their techniques. They will look for the right way of doing what they want to do. And if they keep trying, they will at the end of the day get what they want.
Even if you are in a tight situation, and you believe you are going to come out successfully, there are 95% chances that you come out of it successfully. The reason why believing in yourself works miracle is because it gives you the impetus to take action (s) toward that which you believe is possible to happen.
Red alert! What you believe is what you get. So, be careful of what you believe about yourself. You have to make sure that you don't harbor wrong believe in your mind especially about yourself. There are people who have these wrong, negative and limiting beliefs about themselves. When they are unable to accomplish a task, what they normally say is; "I know it isn't going to workout. I know it is going to fail. I know myself. I know I cannot do it" Look! That is a very destructive mentality . I don't know the person who may posses such a mentality, but what I know is that he or she does not know the truth about him or herself. In case you the reader is one of such people, the truth is that you can accomplish most of the goals you set for yourself and even add more if you are willing to give it all it takes. My parting shot; when you believe in yourself, miracles will happen in your life.

The Wealth In You Quotes on "Failure-proof mentality"




A popular saying goes thus, "The poor gets poorer and the rich gets richer". Why is this so? The reason is that the poor has poverty mentality while the rich has abundance mentality. The poor man believes he is poor and he engages in acts that get him impoverished and he remains poor. While the rich believes he is rich and is meant to remain rich and as a result he engages in acts that get him enriched and he remains in abundance.
"No condition is permanent" This has been scientifically proven. It can either deteriorates or ameliorates. No condition is permanent but conditions don't change; it is human beings that change. If you change, your conditions will change. When you change your interpretation of events, then your life will be changed.
Things are not always the way you think they are.
Your interpretation of events are based on your preconditioned mind.
Your behaviour is controlled by your beliefs.
Things will not change until you do things differently.
Some times, in life, it is not about what you know but what you do. Some people know much but they don't do anything with what they know. Some know just a little but they do much.
Do that which you are called to do even if you think you are not ready. We learn better by doing.
I can do anything I want to do if I put my mind on it.
You cannot be a failure until you accept that you are one.
You can do anything you want to do if you put your mind on it.
"God can do all things including giving you riches but you will die poor if you don't work".
"A person who is ashamed of doing what he has chosen to do will eventually die unfulfilled".
"Give your heart to your work and your work will take care of your heart".
"I cannot do it! I cannot do it! Have you tried it"?
"I have tried it so I have found out that it doesn't work". That sentence may sound familiar. The fact is not that it doesn't work. The fact is that you gave up trying"
"Saving money can shield you from lack but it cannot always make you rich" The best way to get rich is to make money, save it and then invest it. Then save the returns and invest more.
Be careful when you take decisions. Things do change.
Something hurting may have happened to you, but don't get stuck to the hurting thoughts. Consider it a bye gone and keep living your life. Remember, you've got a lot to do in your life.
You are alife today. Hurray! You still have a chance to be who you want to be.
Someone may have mistakenly or premeditatively done something that hurts you. Why are you still thinking about it? Don't let it wear you down. Go ahead and do your job. The more you think about it the more the person wins.
Don't allow your past failures to scare you from your future success. Success may lead to failure if you mismanage it.
Don't make conclusions about your life base on the negative circumstances you are facing currently.
You are more powerful than you think.
Yes! Once again, I said, you are more powerful than you think.
The legendary Celine Dion in one of her songs said " I never knew I can go through all this and still stand" To her, it was an unbelievable experience. She thought her negative circumstances was going to destroy her, but far from her thought, she some how survived it.
As you pursue your dreams in life, some times, you will encounter coordinated disgrace, coordinated shame, psycho-spiritual cum mental abuse channeled toward getting you to undermine your inborn intelligence. But the good news I have for you is that no amount of disgrace, no amount of shame, no amount of hardship, no amount of loneliness or whatever negative circumstances you have gone through or that you are going through will be enough to stop you. I know what I am talking about. You can go through it all and still stand strong.
Failure can be a source of shame and disgrace. Temporary poverty can be a source of disgrace and shame. Desertion by friends and loved ones can be a source of disgrace and shame. Denial or denouncing by a lover can be a source of disgrace or shame. How do you survive this negative experiences. Don't struggle with it. Accept it the way it is. It has come and it has come. There is nothing you can do about it. If you give in to it. It wins. But if you accept it and look it on the face, it will diffuse away. Don't hide from your source of disgrace else it will strengthen itself against you. Believe what is right. Do what is right and if the disgrace or shame endures, pursue your dreams even in the midst of shame and disgrace.
                                        
                                          "Are you God?"

What is your first interpretation of that question? Or what came to your mind first when you read that question?
Are you God that you have concluded that you cannot make it in life? Are you God that you call yourself names that do not befit you?
Are you God that you think that your situation will not change?
Are you God that you think that you are a failure?
Are you God that you have started looking down on yourself just because you are going through some challenges today or because of the challenges you have gone through in the past?
Are you God that you don't want to let go the thoughts of the mistakes you have made in the past?
Are you God that you think your sins cannot be forgiven?
Are you God that you think you cannot mend your ways?
Are you God that you think life is over?
Are you God that you think that your sickness will not go?
Are you God that you think that your hardship will endure forever?
Are you God that you think that your enemies have won the battle over your life?
Are you God that you think that you are not intelligent?
Are you God? No! you are not God. God can do all things through you
If you allow him.

THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS; THE WEALTH IN YOU







One of the surest ways to finding a lasting solution to any problem whatsoever is to unravel the foundation or the root cause of that problem. And thenceforth, it will be tackled.
Of course, it is no longer news that everyone in this planet earth wants to be successful in one area of his or her life or the other.  It is clear that it is not just that people want to be successful in whatever they have chosen to do, but that many a good number of people are working hard to achieve this coveted goal. You find out that this phenomenon runs similar in every society in this world. Everywhere you go allover the world the trend exists. As it is in Warsaw, so it is in Melborne. As it is in Mumbai, so it is in New York City.  As it is Athens, so it is in Lagos. As it is in Moscow, so it is in Gaza, Baghdad, Manchester, Ankra, Shanghai and etc.
But the question is; Are people really succeeding commiserate to the efforts they are putting in? Now, if the answer to the question is no. Then the next question will be, "What then is responsible for peoples' inability to get what they want?

To me, the summary of what is responsible is; that many people have not realised that "The foundation of success is the wealth in them". I have found out that the major reason why many of fail in many areas of our endeavor is because we are ignorant of the powers we have inside of us.
Many of us believe that the most important factors for succeeding in life are the physical factors only. When I say physical factors, I am taking about finance, people, good network, knowledge of what we want to do, and etc.

At this point, I want to say that I am not disputing the fact that all the above mentioned factors are necessary. We need them as well. We cannot do without them.
But have you not heard of some one who had all the above mentioned factors, even in excess, but still failed? Such a person failed not because, he lacked those physical apparatus but because he or she lacked in the other factor that are needed to be able to succeed in life. And those factors are the Wealth In You.


HOW IS THE FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS THE WEALTH IN YOU?


Some time ago, I read the real life story of a successful entrepreneur. The is fellow in question was born with a silver Spoon in his mouth. He is not one of those who must scratch the soil before they could have the least of what they need. All the physical factors that any one needs in order to succeed in any area of one's life were there for him. So, all that was left was for him to put the logistics in motion. The story had it that this said young man in question ventured into different businesses but failed in all notwithstanding the fact that he was full equipped with all the physical factors necessary to be successful in those kinds of businesses he ventured into. It was stated that he spent over ten good calendar years rigmaroling in the business world without hitting a home run.

After all these years of desert experience in the business, he decided to unravel the mystery behind his protracted failure in business. According to him, in the process of finding out how water got inside the coconut, he met a man who redirected his focus. He said that he was made to understand that physical factors or assets are not the only assets that are needed to be a success in life. The said man he met opened his eyes to the powers he has inside of him that he was not making use of. And since then he began to look inwards. 

And afterwards, with a little physical assets available to coupled with his new found wealth in him, he returned to the business where he failed earlier. And within the space of one year, he achieved more than what he achieved in the last eleven years.
Now, what really happened was that his focus was shone on "The wealth in Him" which is the foundation of his success.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF


"Everyone around may say; No! You can't. But if you say, yes I can, then you are right"               ---------Emeka Agbedo 
I believe strongly that the indispensable first step to becoming successful in life is to believe in yourself against all odds. I mean against all internal and external opposing thoughts and suggestions. Believing or having a total confidence in yourself is the biggest secret to getting things done in life. It has also been the fundamental human trait which helped a lot of those who are successful in one area of their life or the other. In short it is responsible for what you have been able to achieve in life so far. It has worked and it is still working for many of us though we are unaware of it.

It is usual that each time we are asked to mention or list the characters or traits that one needs to possess in order to be successful in life, the list always look like this; persistence, determination, being positive, honesty, working hard/studying hard, save for the rainy day, doggedness, and lots more to be mentioned.

Now, there is no doubt that the above mentioned traits are exactly what we need . However, one fact that many of us are yet to know is that those traits, though are straight to the point, they are not going to produce results or be effective if the subject or the person who possess them do not believe in him or herself.

Each and everyone of us have been able to do whatever we have done since all our lives because we believed we can. The truth is that no one be persistent if he does not believe he can be. No one can be determined if he or she does not believe he or she can be. None of us can be positive if we do not believe we can be. And you can't work or study hard if you don't believe you can .

The undeniable truth here is that we were all created with the psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual and other requisite abilities to accomplish most of our dreams in life. No wonder Napoleon Hills once said, "that whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve".

Now, believing alone cannot make things happen if they cannot happen. For instance, believing that you can raise a person who has been dead for over three months ago from death is an irrational belief and it cannot happen no matter how long you may believe it. It cannot happen because you don't have the ability in you. Are you Jesus?

The basic reason why you "can" is not just because you believe, but because you already have the ability in you. Believing in yourself ie believing in what you already have in you is what you need to tap from that ability which is already in you. The formula is; if you believe in it, then you can have it. Mohamed Ali, an American heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medal holder during his life time as a boxer believed in himself so much and it helped him throughout his career as a boxer. That time he used to refer to himself as "the greatest". He believed in himself because he knew he had the abilities in himself. During that period, each time he was interviewed by the media, he used to tell his opponents and fans "I am Mohamed Ali. I am the greatest". And truly he became one of the greatest boxers in the world.

The importance of believing in yourself aka self confidence is that it stimulates optimism in those who possess it. If you believe in yourself, it arouses in you the sense of a positive outcome.  It kindles an emotion that inspires you to work harder. When you already know that you can achieve what you are trying to achieve, you will find it difficult to give up. In other words, people who believe in themselves do not easily give up on their goals or dreams. Believing in yourself will incite a never-say-never attitude in you. The fact is that some times, people who believe in themselves do fail. Yes! They miss their targets once in a while. But the good news here is that they don't use that as an excuse to give up. They do fail but they don't see failure as final. They see failure as a feedback. They see failure as a lesson. So, though such people fail, they will not give up. Rather they will change their techniques. They will look for the right way of doing what they want to do. And if they keep trying, they will at the end of the day get what they want.

Even if you are in a tight situation, and you believe you are going to come out successfully, there are 95% chances that you come out of it successfully. The reason why believing in yourself works miracle is because it gives you the impetus to take action (s) toward that which you believe is possible to happen.

Red alert! What you believe is what you get. So, be careful of what you believe about yourself. You have to make sure that you don't harbor wrong believe in your mind especially about yourself. There are people who have these wrong, negative and limiting beliefs about themselves. When they are unable to accomplish a task, what they normally say is; "I know it isn't going to workout. I know it is going to fail. I know myself. I know I cannot do it" Look! That is a very destructive mentality . I don't know the person who may posses such a mentality, but what I know is that he or she does not know the truth about him or herself. In case you the reader is one of such people, the truth is that you can accomplish most of the goals you set for yourself and even add more if you are willing to give it all it takes.
