Believe in Yourself!

"Believe in Yourself! Have faith in your possibilities!
Without a humble but reasonable confidence
in your own powers
you cannot be successful or happy".
                                           Norman Vincent Peale



At some time or another in our lives we all experience self doubt.

If you experience it the majority of the time this will result in low self-esteem.

The common denominator of all the successful people in this world is that they
believed in their own abilities and felt they deserved to succeed.

Hard work will get you a long way, it may also bring you financial success, but it
won't necessarily bring you happiness.

If you are having doubt in your abilities, it might be because you're comparing yourself
with someone else's success.

This is the worst thing you can do.

There will always be someone richer, in better shape and more successful than you.

The key is to be happy with what you have and make it work for you.

If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?

What is your definition of success?

You have to define it before you can achieve it.

Make a list of what success means to you and create your goals from that list.

Your goals will be a mixture of daily, weekly, monthly and annual.

What matters is that they are specific and measurable and have a timeframe.

For example, if you want to book a vacation but feel you can't afford it at this time.

Decide to open a separate checking account and every week deposit $50 from cutting out unnecessary expenditures.

(You know what I'm talking about, that trip to Target where you went for shampoo and came out with a cart full of "good deals". That shampoo ended up costing you $100! Or that Happy Hour that set you back $50).

That's a savings of $200 per month. $2,400 after a year. A good start for that well deserved vacation.

Believe in your abilities to achieve your goals.

If you have a plan you can do it.

Otherwise you are just squandering your time and money and wishing for change instead of
making it happen!

Believe you CAN do it and you will.
