Rise Above: How to Believe in Yourself When No One Else Does

 

Listen up, because I'm going to tell you something that could change your life: Once you believe you are something, you actually embody it. You embody that feeling.

If you were God forbid in a coma and woke up without memory, and were told you used to be a Navy Seal and they need you back now that you're healthy, do you really think you wouldn't conduct yourself differently? Wouldn't hold yourself differently? Wouldn't have a different self-concept of who you are than if you were told you were a piano instructor?

Being successful in life is all about having the proper belief system in who you are. Truly believing that you are something unique, that you are something special in that field.

If you truly believe inside of you that you are one of the best actors in the world, you will be entirely different than if you are merely hoping you're good. You'll exhibit a different expression, tone of voice, and talk more convincingly. You'll use your natural voice instead of a scripted one. You'll be more emphatic, more real, more relatable.

And that comes from utmost confidence in yourself - that you can handle any situation life throws your way. Trust in yourself that you are better than the moment.

The greats think differently. The greats see differently. The greats have a different worldview. They approach the game in a totally different way. That's why they're the greats.

Have you ever looked at someone who has achieved great success and thought, "What makes them different from me?" Well, it's their mindset. They believe in themselves, even when others don't. They see opportunities where others see obstacles. They persist even in the face of failure.

If your effort is low, you're probably not thinking about the opportunity. You're probably thinking about the obligation. The obligation to show up to work, to study for a test, to achieve the expectations of others. But obligations don't inspire us. Opportunities do.

Every time I wake up, I'm thinking, "I'm alive, baby! This is the day! This is an opportunity!" If you want what you've never had before, if you want to do what you've never done before, if you want to be what you've never been before, change your mentality!

I want you to see that effort goes up when you look at it as an opportunity of a lifetime. And when your effort goes up, so does your success.

But belief alone isn't enough. It needs to be backed up by action. You can't just sit around and hope that you'll eventually achieve your dreams. You need to be proactive, to take steps towards your goals every single day.

Think of it like a circuit switch. Your brain is wired to follow your beliefs. When you believe in yourself, your brain switches on the confidence and motivation needed to achieve your goals. But when you doubt yourself, when you listen to the negative voices in your head, your brain switches off.

So it's up to you. It's time to take control of your switch. Stop letting self-doubt and fear run the show. Instead, choose confidence and optimism.

It won't always be easy. There will be setbacks, failures, and moments of doubt. But remember, the greats see opportunities where others see obstacles. They see failures as lessons learned, as necessary steps on the path to success.

So next time you're faced with a challenge, remind yourself that you are capable, that you are resilient, that you are a force to be reckoned with. Believe in yourself, take action, and watch as the world opens up to you in ways you never thought possible.
