Belief....

One of the most powerful weapons in the battle for growth is belief.  Belief that you can make a difference.  Belief in the success of what you are doing.  Belief in you and the process that you are following.  Belief in the team that you have.  Belief compounds and builds momentum.  The greatest way to derail an effort is to show that you do not believe it will succeed.  John Maxwell states:

Belief encourages positive anticipation....

Anticipation creates intention....

Intention crystallizes focus....

Focus finds opportunity....

Opportunity calls for action....

Action stirs up passion....

Passion encourages belief....

Believing in your vision and your dream will create the necessary focus, opportunity, action, and passion required to carry it out.  At every step of the way, our brains are wired to introduce risk and doubt.  Belief is the greatest champion to outwit these naysayers and push through.  If you followed my previous post about Sisyphus and my constant challenge to push the rock up the mountain, then you know that belief is the power behind WANT and WILL.  Doubt leaves people wanting and yearning for their dreams while belief pushes people into willing their dreams into existence.

Do you believe in you?  Do you believe in where you are going?  Do you believe in the goals of the organization that you follow?  Do you believe that what you are doing today is plotting the path for where you want to be in the future?  It all starts with belief.

No Day But Today,
