I Believe I Can- Do You Believe You Can??

by Samuel · 42 comments

This is a question you should ask yourself! The word “BELIEVE” is not just an ordinary word, I want you to note that.
Many people lack the faith, they lack the believe that they will ever succeed in anything they embark on. And if you ask them why do they don’t have the self-belief? They don’t have a genuine answer to give.
What a pity!  I used to say this, life is full of ups and down, it all depends on the way you want to flow with it. Yea life is full of ups and down yet people still make it in life why? Because they believe they will, they believe they are capable that’s why they were able to break new grounds.
Many people want to start new business but the fear is not encouraging them, the lack of self-belief is weighing them down, which is not meant to be. Major reasons why they are scared is because of those that were in the game before them, they believe they can’t compete with them.  And that’s foolishness. If you are the type of person that is scared of your competitors you are a loser. Yes! Let me tell you something you don’t know, everybody came on board to play his or her own game in his or her own way, the way you tend to play it and attract people with it makes you the king! Nobody is disturbing one another.
If you are thinking that they will arrest you when you win, you are only limiting yourself; nobody will arrest you if you win! Why fear?  Fear is just a temporary defeat, and if you allow fear to get over you, you can’t get anywhere.
There are some certain factors that do make a man lose the belief in his self, factors that do affect a man from achieving its success will be highlighted below and they are:
Laziness: laziness is the enemy of man; a real man who wants to really succeed in life will put off the spirit of laziness! Being lazy is not meant for you. Laziness in only meant for amateurs. So if you really want to achieve a goal in life you need to put away the spirit of laziness.
Paying Mind To Amateurs:  You don’t have to pay any mind to those who don’t want you to succeed, instead you should pay no mind. One thing I want you to know is that people are meant to talk! They always love to put down a person who is ready to get to the top. If I were you I would not listen to them, I will follow my gut!
Fear: Like I said earlier that fear is a temporary defeat, you don’t have to let it overcome you, you need to face it. Tackle you fears let your fear respect you. So if you really want to succeed in life you need to work on your fears.
Risk: they don’t love to take risk; they hate the word called RISK. Let me tell you something, don’t you know that the life your living is under a risk, no one knows tomorrow if he or she will be counted among the living. If you smile today you are risking it so why don’t you want to take risk? If you really want to succeed you need to take risk.
The Effects of Lack of Self-Belief
You need to know the effects of lack of self belief so that you will know the big damage the lack of  self-belief can cause in ones life, though there are numerous effects of lack of self-belief but the major ones will be listed below:
Lack of Confidence: failure to have the self-belief will make you lack the confidence, you will not be sure of yourself also you won’t be able to compete with others, you will be shy and it will let the spirit of fear get rid of you.
Encourage Failure: in case you don’t know, lack of self-belief will make you give up easily; it will discourage you by making you encourage failure. It’s easy to give up when you lack self-belief, so that’s why you need to embrace the spirit of self-believe.
Stagnant: it will make you remain stagnant, also make you lame. You won’t be able to prove yourself, and it will cost you a lot. So if you really want to break new grounds in life, you need to embrace the spirit of SELF-BELIEF!
Have The Self-Belief!
Put on the spirit! I believe I can break new grounds and I will, so if you believe you can and you truly have the believe, there’s nothing stopping you from dwelling on the mountain top. Let me ask you a question, why do you have religious belief?  I guess you believe that it will save you on the Day of Judgment, so why not have the self-belief that you can break new grounds, the believe that you will succeed in your business also in anything you do. I urge you to have the self-belief! Have the faith so that you can move mountains.  So therefore use self-belief to shape your FUTURE.

Spot on Samuel; if you believe you can you can. Like Henry Ford said:” If you think you can…or think you can’t…either way you’re right.”

A lot of people fail because they give up, or are lazy and lack self-confidence and self belief, not because they’re not good at what they do.

Thanks for this inspiring post.

Fear can be paralysing and stop us achieving our potential. If we are not diligent in working on our blog we will not achieve anything either! I like the way you go through each area step by step and shows we can tackle one thing at a time. As we work through all these we should be even more determined we will keep going and succeed :-)

Hi Samuel,

the point that stood out for me is laziness. It’s the enemy of everyone who wants to be successful.

Every day you have to keep striving towards your goals.

Good luck!

You’re absolutely right with all your points here! These are the most common concerns of other people who can take one step forward on their goals. All because of their fears, they are missing too many things in their lives. Courage and confidence, these two are what a starter needs to possess.

Hi Samuel, Lack of self-belief and lack of self confidence are the two important factors which will make you to think that you can’t do the work. If you believe yourself and if you have the confidence with you, then I am sure anyone can do anything.

Belief in yourself is one of the most neglected factors which affect your outcomes in life.
Many years ago I had trouble having this belief, so I started with the small things, and step by step my success built my confidence.

A great reminder to us all

Hey Samuel, cool post, without believe there is no way you will be able to make it, there is so many problems that you will have to face it and work on it. Most people are inpatient and thats why they give up. Be patient and focus if you want to make it,

Great post Sam. This reminds me of something that I should believe. I really don’t care of how am I discouraged by someone that it’s impossible that my dreams would came true. We’ll, I always have a positive heart even if I struggle, and I don’t give up on myself. I always prove everything, slowly but surely that I can pursue my own dreams and to make a living on it. This is where I’m aggressive of taking action for myself, not by waiting for the rain to fall in me. :)

Hmm self belief is important, visualizing how it would happen is also important. but all that won’t make you successful if you don’t translate them into action. Good post Sam :)

Samuel,

Nice post. It’s my first time here.
Self-Belief is just the starting point. What matters is that you translate that belief into real action.

Confidence is essential. Over-confidence can kill your business, you have to have your plan based in reality. Listen to everyone you don’t have to take their advice but sometimes they will leave you with a jewel.
Good Luck.

I really like this article! All the points are good. Belief is at the top of my list! If we believe we can do something and don’t let the ups and downs get us off track. I call it “Riding the Roller Coaster” we will learn to play the game and we’ll eventually succeed.
