The Number One Rule for Success

What makes some men more successful than others is that those who've achieved extraordinary results in their lives have done so because they had an immutable belief in themselves. They knew that if they are to make their dreams a reality and accomplish their goals, they have to believe that they are capable of doing so. This level of personal belief, confidence, an self-esteem comes from the deepest part of our inner core. It is this internal source that powers our abilities, movements, thoughts, talents and skills to do their job and perform the tasks at hand.

Believing in yourself is a gift no one but yourself can give you. Unfortunately most of us tend to believe in the ill and negative thoughts, advice and comments from people around us. We derive our self-beliefs and thoughts about ourselves from others rather than on ourselves. We internalize past conversations and actions people had on us, as if their negative opinions really matters. In the end without being able to strengthen our self confidence we are left nothing other than with past based conversations about our feelings of self worth. The danger lies when we allow the painful words the grade school bully or a teasing sibling said to us to dictate and condition us as to how we should really be feeling about ourselves in the present.

Self belief is an internal dialogue you constantly have in your mind as to your ability to perform that which is important to you. It is a dialogue that you have had since the time you developed the ability to think and process your place on earth. There is a saying that if you see it, you'll believe it. The truth is that you'll see it only when you believe it.

By believing that you can do anything, open ups the possibility that anything is possible. This mind set is essential for it triggers an attitude of confidence, allowing you to do what's necessary to bring about the desired outcome and subsequently the desired income. Speaking the words to yourself that you can do what necessary creates a self fulfilling prophecy. You and only you control the outcome of life through your mental and physical responses to it. To do what's important in the fulfillment of your goal requires a strong confident attitude about it.

One way to instill confidence and belief is to give up certain words or phrases that denote fear and uncertainly. You will need to give up these words for they can actually dis-empower and rob you of your ability. Of all the negative words, "I can't!" is the most damaging. The moment those words are spoken before a desire action, such as "I can't swim" or I can't work that hard" than it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. No matter how hard you work, as long you those words were uttered or imagine, chances are it never gets done. The words "I can't..."

If you allow the negative opinions, and comments from others to cloud your path to your goals, you'll never make it. Make your personal choices about your goals your own, follow what your heart and mind say, rather than basing it on the often times unrefined and ignorant judgement of others.
