Believe In Yourself And You Will Be Unstoppable!

I want you to sit and think about your wildest dreams and what you desire most in life. What would you do if you could achieve anything? If you believe in yourself, you will be unstoppable and you can achieve your desires!

Our hopes and dreams give u purpose, they provide us with motivation and the will to keep going when we are fed up with our mundane lives and when we are struggling with adversity.

To go after what we want, we must first believe that we can have what we desire.

When you believe in yourself, you show up for yourself; you achieve your goals, trust your instinct, make good decisions and learn from your mistakes.

When you believe in yourself, you become unstoppable!

Many will tell you that you need to work hard, put in the hours, and be consistent and knowledgeable to succeed. But what many people won’t tell you is that this is all redundant, and you likely won’t achieve anything if you don’t believe in yourself first.

Without self-belief, how would we achieve our greatest desires? Self-belief is the motivator that drives us into action.

Our belief in ourselves is interchangeable. There may be days we feel we can conquer the world and days when we feel like we are fighting a losing battle and want to give up.

What matters the most is that self-belief is there, residing in us in some form, and it grows as we are brave enough to take action and we begin to see results.

How does believing ourselves make us unstoppable?

Believing in ourselves makes us unstoppable because it leads us down roads we might not ever think we would go.

It takes us out of our comfort zone and encourages us to take risks. I probably don’t need to tell you that the best things usually happen when we do things we don’t usually do!

Self-belief makes us unstoppable because we don’t let fear hold us back from doing what we want to do.

Fear is a crippling emotion that prevents us from achieving or doing what we want. It stops us from asking that cute guy we like out, starting that business, or changing careers. When we let fear hold us back, we restrict ourselves from reaching our full potential.  

When we believe in ourselves, we are unstoppable because we don’t let failures or things not working out the way we hoped from putting us off and achieving what we want.

Instead, we consider these setbacks as lessons to learn from and continue to move toward our goals.

Self-belief makes us unstoppable because this alone can get us through the most challenging times.  

It motivates us to carry on, even though there may be a negative voice in the back of our minds telling us to give up!

When you don’t believe in yourself…..

you make excuses:

Guilty as charged! When I first decided that I wanted to start a blog, I had a vision of exactly how I wanted it to be, what I wanted to write about and how the kind of audition I wanted to reach.

I regularly fantasized about how aesthetically pleasing it would look and more importantly, how it would inspire and help thousands worldwide.

Despite my fantasy, I made every excuse about not setting up the WordPress website and getting started!

• I needed to do more research
• I wasn’t experienced in writing
• I was too busy with my full-time job
• I couldn’t decide on a name for my blog
• I wasn’t tech-savvy enough

These excuses were simply to mask the fact that I didn’t believe in myself. I didn’t believe I could start a blog, let alone a successful one and I didn’t trust I had it in me to succeed. I was scared of failing!

Oftentimes we have to push past the excuses and cultivate some self-belief. This will be the driving force around making that first step!

You let people put you off

It saddens me that some people don’t go after what they want because they let others put them off.

People will project their own fears onto you because they fear being left behind if you reach your goals.

Some may be even trying to protect you, but as good as their intentions may be, you don’t need protecting, and you don’t have box yourself in to pander to their insecurities.  

Don’t allow anyone to plant seeds of doubt in your mind, or else you risk letting the seed grow until you are completely put off by pursuing your dreams

Friends, family, colleagues and strangers may not believe in you, but it it’s scenarios like this that make believing in yourself even more crucial!

Fu** the naysayers and go after what you want! As long as you believe in yourself, that is all that matters!

You compare yourself to others

A wise man once said, ‘comparison is the thief of joy’, and it could be further from the truth!

Comparing ourselves to others will only leave you feeling inadequate and unworthy.

You look through social media thinking that everyone has it together, or maybe you look at your friends and family and can’t help but feel a little envious that they ‘have it all’.

In these times, remember that we don’t all walk on the same path. Everyone is on their own individual journeys, and whilst it may seem you are far behind, you are running your own race!

You don’t invest in yourself

The most important investment you will ever make is in you!

When you invest in yourself, you are much more likely to achieve what you want to achieve because you are putting in the time and resources needed to meet your goals.

When I began to invest in myself with my blogging journey, it motivated me to succeed because of the hard work, commitment, time and money I had put into it.

Linked In states that you will be less stressed and more confident!  

Yourself and your dreams are just as important as anybody else’s, so take a chance on yourself!

How to start believing in yourself

Consistency is key:

There is power in consistency! This is because consistency creates results, and when we get results, it’s a confidence boost, we tell ourselves ‘I can really can do this’, thus it motivates us to keep going.

Surround yourself with positive people:

The people around us can be a testimony to us. Supporting friends and family cheering us on from the sidelines helps build our confidence and self-esteem, thus meaning we are more likely to believe in ourselves.

Be positive:

A positive mindset will take you far as it leads to positive action. It will help cultivate better coping skills when things are difficult.

Assure explains how positive thinking leads to good self-esteem and is effective in improving our mood and ability to solve problems.

Boost your confidence:

You are more likely to have self-belief if you are confident. This is because confidence leads us to move forward with opportunities and be open to trying new things.

Don’t let fear hold you back:

As we discussed earlier in the post, fear will prevent you from achieving your dreams. Self-belief helps us to push through fear and take action.

Why should anyone believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself?

When we are brave enough to take the road to achieve what we want, we rarely do this alone; there is normally always someone to help us along the way.

For example, if you are starting a business and need an investor or a friend to help you prep for an important job interview.

The point I am getting to is that if we don’t believe in ourselves, why should anyone believe in us?

Why should the investor invest their own money into our business if you don’t believe in your own vision?

Why should the friend spend hours helping you prep for the interview if you don’t think you can get the job?

For people to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first, everything starts within, and everything starts with you!!

Self belief is empowering!

When you believe in yourself, you will be unstoppable because self-belief will empower you to take control of your life and make it what you please!

You take control of what can be controlled and don’t concern yourself with what cannot.

You possess the courage and strength to meet your goals and achieve success!
