Believe and action

More motivational stuff from me inspired by Marie Callas :)

If you think that you will never get what you want in life or you think that you will never reach to the height of someone, you are essentially telling yourself that you will not achieve that.

Too many times I have heard this, either during friendly conversations or if you notice more, media interviews.

"I would like to try but I don't think I have the talents for that as I'm not someone-someone-someone."

Let's analyse.

This person wishes to do something special fervently. He/she has been dreaming of it all the time for a long time. He/she has a role model who is one of the best in the business. First of all, "try" is a very unassuming half-hearted word to use for something as solemn as your goal. It means no confidence in yourself. Use the word "do" instead. There is a lot of difference, mind you. He/she is not sure whether to go for it or not and the worse is he/she degrades her/his own ability in doing that when compared to their role model. The whole sentence is very negatively worded that gives a depressing tone. If you have this type of friend, advice your friend, or, get away from such friend if you can't convince.

Positively, it should be:

"I would like to do it successfully and I know I have as much talent to do as well as someone-someone-someone."

Now it gets your mind spinning how to get it done. You have started to think and plan for your goal. Your subconscious mind will also work in favour of you. In turn your actions will change, and you start manifesting more and more of what you want.

Remember, change your mind to believe, then follow up with actions.
