3. Belief

If you think you can or cannot, you are absolutely right.

All of the things invented by man that did not exist before, only became a reality because there is someone who believed they could be. When one has the desire for something, it is belief that pushes him to act towards the goal with enthusiasm until the satisfactory accomplishment of it. Without belief, the human mind cannot have the power necessary to accomplish anything below the sun.

It is futile to go chasing after something you desire while at the same time not believing in your possibility of getting it. But I guess that anybody of sound mind will naturally have a strong desire for something after realizing that it is a possibility. This realization is the belief.

In the pursuit of your dream it is only logical that what you desire be in consistency with your belief.

The very fact of you believing in your success makes your dream easier to come true.

Once you have all the right information and have the strong desire to achieve, you have to be truly convinced in your heart that you will achieve that which is before you.

It is easier to achieve things today than it has ever been plainly because most of what you will dream of will either have been done by someone somewhere else or will be a combination of some existing resources. This is where they say that you don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Just use it to move ahead. One way to strengthen your belief through this fact based on the information you might have acquired is to have this quote in your heart.

“What a man has done, another can too”

Much of today’s success is based on existing equipment and ideas. You may just need to refine an existing idea related to your chosen goal to be a great success. It is good to note here that the richest man in the world for more than ten years by the turn of the millennium did not invent the computer. He only acted on an existing idea refining it and making it a success. He believed he could and he did it. Just like man believed he could fly to the moon and he actually did.

Consequently, I recommend that you have mentors in your area of concern. Having mentors is a strengthening and

positive habit in achieving something. They make you increase your belief on the possibility of your dream and hence give you the courage to go on.

If you belief in your dream wholeheartedly, the accomplishment of the same is well within your reach.

Where do you gauge your belief of your capability to achieve your success?

(a) Very strong      (b) Strong        (c) Fair       (d)  Weak

It is hereby recommended that if your rating falls on weak you should start all over again. Leaving this area unmarked at first is permissible until when you are confident of ticking any of the first two.
