Heard this many times right? This is so true that what you believe in will bring you the results. Today, if you want to achieve great success in your life, you must first believe in yourself that you are able to do it. It doesn’t really matter whether your beliefs are real or not. The important thing here is that your belief is going to empower you and motivates you to take massive actions toward your goals. So, that is why it is important to make sure that your beliefs are the positive ones that will drive you to your success. If you have negative beliefs today, it is because you have a bad experience in the past or maybe it is because of your surrounding.

Most of our beliefs are shaped from the people that we use to mess with, like our friends, our parents, and our teachers in the school. If your parents told you that investing is risky, and you will never be rich by investing in the stock market, then most probably you will have the same beliefs just like them. There are a lot of limiting beliefs out there, such as, “I’m a slow learner”, “I’m bad in maths”, I’m too old to learn all these”. These are the examples of limiting beliefs that people have, and frankly, do you have one of these? Here is the real life example of how having an empowering belief will bring you the results you always wanted:

In 1981, insurance boss, Morris Goodman, was a victim of a plane crash which he was piloting. His injuries were so severe, so extreme, so much so that his neck was broken in two places, his diaphragm was crushed and his nerves were damaged very badly. His wife was told by the doctor that he would be paralyzed from the neck down for life. She was also told that he was not able to breathe on his own without the use of a respirator. However, Morris Goodman believed so much in the belief that whatever he set his mind to, he could achieve. Within a period of six months, he walked out of the hospital without any medical aid, without any mechanical aid. His doctors were shocked, and Morris Goodman was later named ‘the miracle man’.

So you can see now, nothing is impossible if you believe that you can do it. Just like if you want to be the next internet millionaire, you first have to believe that you can do this, you must believe that earning money online is something that is possible for you. Now, beliefs are never real, they are only real to you yourself only. What you believe becomes the reality to you. Just like if I tell you that Africa is a huge market for shoes, maybe you will think the opposite. This is where our beliefs are different, some people see opportunity while some people see risk. However, no matter what you believe in, you must make sure that your beliefs are positive ones that will brings you to your success.

If you study the successes of all the great people, you will find that they have a very similar thinking habit, that is their belief systems. For them, they will do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true, because they believe that it is worth it, they believe that they can do it, they believe that they are going to achieve it if they take massive actions. This is the difference between an ordinary people with a highly successful people.
