What can happen to an animal tamer if he enters the cage of wild predators for the first time, with a feeling of fear, doubt and lack of confidence in his abilities? What if, entering the cage, he thinks, “I’ll try to deal with them, but in reality I don’t fully believe that I can do it. It is not an easy task for the common man to defeat the wild African lion. Probably, there are people capable of such a feat, but I very much doubt that I am one of them."
It seems to me that the answer to this question is beyond doubt. A tamer who does not carry an aura of strength and confidence will be torn to pieces. Courage and courage are the weapons that can save him in this situation.
The tamer must first win at the level of gaze, and such a victory must be unconditional - even the slightest manifestation of fear can be his last.
What works for the beast tamer works for all of us. We will not achieve anything until we believe that we will certainly achieve our goal, and that it simply cannot be otherwise. One should not even allow the thought of the possibility of failure.
Let your mind lead you forward. First, a pattern is created, and only after a thread with a needle will repeat it over the fabric; your goals and ideals should be ahead of your actions.
If you analyze all the great things and those who did them, it turns out that the most important thing that helped them achieve their goal was self-confidence.
Admitting a lack of ability or allowing temporary weakness to make you doubt the success of your venture means missing out on many opportunities.
The flag of your belief in yourself should never be lowered. It is impossible even for a moment, no matter how difficult the times are.

By doubting, you will only aggravate the situation because as soon as you weaken your self-confidence a little, all the other servants of fear and doubt will immediately attack your mind and your life. Many people fail after failure in their search for work or love because their own negative feelings about themselves are projected onto those around them. If you begin to lower your self-esteem, do not hesitate, everyone else will lower it even lower. They will not bother to look closely and realize that you are too critical of yourself and underestimate yourself.
The more you demand from yourself and your life, the more you will receive. Do not stop there. Constantly raise the bar for your achievements, look ahead, facing each new day with confidence and courage.
If you think that you are somehow fundamentally different from other people, that you have inherited the fate of a uniquely unlucky person, or that you simply cannot physically achieve what others are capable of, know that you are mistaken.
The consequences of such a delusion can deprive you of happiness and well-being, but, most importantly, the ability to remain yourself, showing your true Self in your affairs.
A person who underestimates himself all the time feels guilty about his imperfection. He is convinced that he is not good for anything, and as a result it looks exactly the same as he feels. And of course it is logical that other people will perceive him in the same way, and consider him weak and indecisive.
THAT how you feel about yourself, how firmly you stand on your feet, the path you have chosen, all this is reflected in your appearance, as in a mirror.
If you feel ordinary and inconspicuous, this is how you look. If you don't respect yourself, it will reflect on your facial features, making it pathetic and unattractive. If you feel poor, then no signs of well-being will appear in your appearance.
You need to constantly think about what you want to have and what you dream of achieving. You need to feel attractive in order to look attractive. All those qualities that you can mentally endow yourself with will be embodied in your appearance, and others will surely see them.
A person who believes in himself is relieved of doubts about whether he is really capable of achieving his goal, he will not be tormented by uncertainty about whether he is in his place, fear for his future is unknown to him.
Freedom is what we need to allow ourselves. We will not be able to create masterpieces when our mind is full of unnecessary worries and worries, fears, and discontent. Complete freedom from negative emotions is a prerequisite for any creative activity. And every business that people undertake with faith in themselves becomes creative, be it even hard physical labor. Uncertainty and doubt are the worst enemies of any success.
Self-belief is the foundation of personality. Belief in yourself is a connecting link between the conscious and unconscious planes. It is faith that penetrates into the sphere of our higher self, into the holy of holies of our personality and comes into contact with the divine principle in every person. Only armed with faith, you can touch the Higher Power.
Our life is beautiful or mediocre, in direct proportion to the efforts and faith invested in it.
Many people do not trust themselves, because they confuse faith with empty fantasies and dreams, but her voice is the voice of the Force from the very depths of our essence, which is in constant connection with the Omnipresent Higher Forces. These forces do not presume, do not think, do not doubt, they simply have absolute knowledge about everything in the world. Belief in yourself is a way to rise above everyday, gray life and find yourself in the “promised land” - where the light of wisdom and truth reigns.
Anything that works to build your self-confidence increases your strength.
Faith will always show you the right path, especially if it lies in the direction of the search and development of your abilities and talents, which for the time being were hidden inside your mind, and now they got the opportunity to express themselves in reality.
No one has yet been able to give a complete and comprehensive explanation of the phenomenon of faith and the effect that it has on a person. What gives people the strength to continue to fight when, it would seem, it would be easier to simply lie down and die? What makes them stand up when there is no longer any strength, and with dignity, sometimes even with a smile, endure suffering, deprivation, poverty? What allows them to find a way out even from such situations when it seems that all the doors are slammed and there is no hope?
When friends, family - the ones they love most and whose support they need most - don't understand or believe in them?
What supports aspiration in people when they are forced to experience such circumstances that would kill them immediately, if they did not have this invisible and unknown shield?
We will not be able to give a clearer and more specific answer than simple words - faith and hope.
You cannot live with a sense of guilt for your existence, picking up other people's leftovers and rejoicing that you got them. One cannot but respect, love, and underestimate oneself. This will lead to the fact that all other people will not do it either.
Moreover, very often the attitude of people directly depends on the place that we occupy in life, and on the results that we achieve. Therefore, you should not allow yourself to lower the levels of your desires and aspirations, always demand from life everything that is possible to receive.
If you believe in yourself, others will believe in you. The world loves and appreciates those who know how to win, people whose halo is victory and strength.
I know a man who quietly walks into a meeting room at a company of which he is a director. He behaves as if his opinion and authority do not matter there, and then he wonders why his opinion is so rarely listened to, why he is treated as a formal leader, practically not noticing his presence.
He does not understand that, having lived with himself for a long time, he should already know himself better than all other people, including his colleagues, but if he himself constantly doubts his importance, then why should they think differently? If he himself has labeled himself a loser, if he walks, talks and behaves like a weak, indecisive and insignificant person, if he creates an impression of mediocrity with his whole appearance, then is there any reason for others to assume that this is not so?
We instill in ourselves our weaknesses and shortcomings. By the power of our own thoughts, we drive ourselves into the framework of small, insignificant people, unable to change anything in their lives, and even more so in the world around them. Man created by the Creator never fell into sin. We break away from our divine essence when, by our thoughts and attitude to ourselves, we begin to destroy ourselves from within, distorting the original Divine plan.
If we treated ourselves the way we really deserve it, this would be reflected in all areas of our lives.
It doesn't matter how big or small your abilities seem at first glance. Belief in yourself will multiply them hundreds of times, giving you access to a great and inexhaustible source of knowledge, strength and inspiration.
It doesn't matter how great your physical strength is, if your faith constantly feeds you. Belief in yourself makes all the other qualities of your personality manifest themselves more fully, vividly and exactly when they are needed most. It gives courage and fills a person with courage, and courage is a great strength that everyone needs. You can always achieve the goal if you strive for it with all your being, if faith and courage become your wings, that eternal, indefatigable engine that makes you move towards your dream. Faith will help you not to know fatigue and pain, longing and despair.
The qualities of the personality work by the order of the will, they fulfill the instructions received from your consciousness. And the clearer and more definite these instructions are, the better and faster they are carried out. If we demand a lot from them and insist that they give us all possible support in achieving our goal, they instantly mobilize and begin joint, well-coordinated work to fulfill this setting.
If we do not have enough determination and willpower to order them to start working in the necessary direction, and in addition to this doubts, fears and anxiety will be an additional obstacle, then it is not surprising that the effectiveness of the work of our personality and all its qualities immediately goes down.
The reason why most people prefer a quiet and peaceful life to mediocrity over a bright and complex but intense life of a strong person is because they see too many difficulties and obstacles on their way to the top. Refusal to overcome difficulties, which is caused by laziness and lack of self-respect, leads to the fact that it is easier for them to live in dullness than to actively pursue their goal.
The habit of dwelling on one's problems and dramatizing the significance of obstacles weakens character and paralyzes the will.
A person who pays attention to those circumstances that will not allow him to do this or that business, and not to something that could contribute to its successful implementation, is a person who can never achieve anything until he changes his attitude towards life.
To act means to see the ultimate goal and strive for it, no matter what: if Napoleon saw the Alps with the same eyes as his advisers and ordinary people, his army would never have been able to overcome them in the middle of winter.
Faith is given to us in order to support us in difficult times, when we do not see a way out or an opportunity to resolve problems. This compass is no less accurate than those used by sailors during the worst storms. And just like a sailor who, in the mist of a storm, sees nothing but an arrow showing him the way, we need to trust this inner compass.
It is much easier to get the cannonball to pierce the armored side of the ship if it is accelerated than if you slowly try to push it inside. Self-belief works as an accelerator for those who strive for their goal.
Difficulties are big or small depending on how you see yourself. If you are taller and larger than them, then they become no more significant than small stones in your path. But if you feel helpless, they grow up into unapproachable mountains.
Don't be afraid to take responsibility. Tune in to the fact that you can withstand any test, and that all the responsibility that will fall on you in the work or in the process of completing any task will be on your shoulder if you have enough self-confidence. Moreover, tell yourself all the time that you are capable of completing any task like no other.
The ability to accept this point of view is a proper preparation for any job - nothing is given to us right away. Sometimes, to achieve good results, you need to work hard to bring your skill to automatism. The ability to do what you think is necessary at all costs, regardless of how difficult the task you have set yourself, and how little time you have to prepare, depends entirely on the strength of your character.
Believe in yourself, and don't be afraid to ask a lot of yourself. Forces you don't even know you have will come to your aid. The habit of always expecting the best brings them to life.
Is there at least one good reason that would give you the right to live your life constantly groaning, suffering, imitating others, in constant fear of the future and not daring to be yourself?
All the time, adhere to that ideal image of your being that exists in your consciousness, strive to correspond to it in everything. Keep your head high and treat yourself with respect. Because if you don’t do this, then no one will do it for you!
