Chapter 5: Believe in Yourself
Yes. You want to be successful but you don’t believe you can hit it. You want to be a millionaire, but on the way, you always feel broke. You want to lose 10 lbs. in 6 weeks but you felt guilty you might not hit it. How ironic.
When you set goals, believe that you can achieve it. In Psychology, we have a saying that before somebody believes in you, you have to believe in yourself first. Always tell yourself: “Yes I can!” Yes, you can hit your goals if you really want to.
You have to tell the universe what your goal is. The universe will then receive the message. Believe you can be successful, envision that you are going to be successful. It doesn't matter whether or not you know when you’re going to receive it, just believe you're going to get it and have no doubts about it. If you have any doubts, quickly change your thought pattern to the positive and focus on receiving or having what you want.
Now, if you want to be a millionaire, it is not enough to just say I want to be a millionaire. Believe you are going to be a millionaire. Envision yourself being a millionaire. Take inspired actions to it and next thing you know the universe is giving you all the favors to be successful. On the other hand, think that your goal is too good to be true and guess what? You’ve just declared your future. You never get the promotion you wanted. You didn’t lose weight yet you gained more. You did not finish your project on time.
If you don’t believe you can do it, the universe will go out of its way to prove you really are a failure. Remember, words are powerful. Start declaring you are so unlucky and hopeless and you will see that you are creating that future.
