Believe In Yourself

Do you believe in yourself?  Did you automatically answer yes?  Did you take time to consider what the question means?  The key word is "believe".  Consider the people or things that you may believe in - love, family, friends, faith, political candidates, coaches, teammates, or the American dream.  Is it possible to really believe in anything else if you don't first believe in yourself?  The dictionary defines believe as:

 

 

 

1

a: to have a firm religious faith

b: to accept something as true, genuine, or real 

2

: to have a firm conviction as to the goodness, efficacy, or ability of something 

3

: to hold an opinion : think 

The word can also be defined by looking at what each letter can represent.

B - Break bad habits and Build productive relationships
E - Embrace change and Expect benefits
L - List your goals and Launch a strategy to reach them
I  - Invest time to develop yourself and Improve your confidence
E - Establish permanent focus and Endure temporary distractions 
V - View the big picture and Value the experience gained from setbacks
E - Emerge from failure and Evolve to meet the next opportunity
