One of the most basic and essential characteristic of all successful people is faith and Belief in their own ability to succeed. Psychology teach that most people achieve only about a-tenth of what they possibly could. Why? Because they UNDER-BELIEVE. They don’t believe so much in their own powers, giftings, potentialities, talents and capabilities.
You are not in any way limited in life by lack of ability; you are limited only by your beliefs. You cannot be bigger than your beliefs. Belief releases your real power. Napoleon Hill said, ‘Whatever the mind of man can conceive and BELIEVE, man can achieve.’ William James from Harvard University said, "Belief creates the actual fact or thing." It is a Law of Life that BELIEF attracts to it all of the elements which make its realization possible. The Bible says, "ALL things are possible to him that BELIEVETH."
The person you are now-your character, your personality and the kind of life you live is the exact indication of the content of your beliefs. You are a walking advertisement of the content of the beliefs you subscribe to. What you believe determines what you are. What you are then determine what you do. What you do determine the results you get out of life. If you could alter your beliefs, you can alter the results you produce in life. Every turnaround in life is a turnaround in beliefs. You become what you BELIEVE to the exact extent of the INTENSITY of your BELIEF. That's why it is so important to BELIEVE INTENSELY and to BELIEVE BIG for yourself. How would you expect other people to believe in you if you do not believe in your own gifts, talents, potentialities and powers in the first place?
