You can if you think you can. Believing in yourself is everything! Let me explain why I believe this is true based on the years of experience in life that I have in addition to my professional experience and writing on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know from personal experience this sounds much easier than it is, but you change your attitude and learn how to be more confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can if you think you can. One of the most important things you need to be successful is to believe in your ability, and in yourself (Robbins, 2004<\/a>). Even if you are highly talented, a lack of self-belief in your abilities will make it much more difficult for you to succeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is your thinking that really matters, because your actions are the result of your thoughts. Negative thinking produces ineffective actions.<\/strong> Imagine having a difficult task or problem to solve, how much easier do you think it is when you are positive and think that you can do it? And how difficult do you think it will be if you lack confidence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe You Can and You Will Succeed!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Belief and perseverance are the keys to success.<\/strong> Writers like J.K. Rowling and Steven King are living testimonies to this. Do you know how many times they were rejected before they made their big breakthroughs? J.K. Rowling was broke and living on welfare and was turned down time after time before she was able to create the masterpiece that is Harry Potter. Stephen King was told his books dealt with “negative utopias” and that they “won’t sell”. You may think that they are extremely talented or even that they are once in a generation writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they may be somewhat gifted, I truly believe that many of us possess similar gifts, not necessarily in writing, but whatever it is that we are passionate about. The problem is that many of us aren’t aware of it. Many of us don’t believe in ourselves the way J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, or pretty much any other successful person did.<\/strong> Because to succeed, you must first fail, again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t believe in yourself, and in your abilities, if you allow the first person who criticises your work to bring you down and cause you to give up on your dream, you may just lose your spark and settle for much less than you deserve. If you can somehow muster up the courage and strength to persist, to chase your dreams and to keep believing in yourself, though, the outcome could be entirely different!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many studies found evidence that students experience huge benefits in terms of academic success when they have self-efficacy, a strong belief in their abilities. By comparing results for two different groups of students over time, the effects of self-belief can clearly be seen in the research. So, believing in yourself really is powerful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henry Ford said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I absolutely agree with that quotation. More than half the battle in anything challenging lies with yourself. Self-belief takes you halfway to succeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What other behaviour makes you successful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
