YES You can do it!
We all have to believe that whatever tasks, hurdles and challenges are out there, if we put our mind to it, we can always do it. YES WE CAN DO IT!
I come across people everyday talking to me about their life, their business, their organisation and their challenges, most seem to get bogged down to one thing – self belief which is preventing them to see their way through things.
Some are waiting for someone elses opinion, some are afraid to make the decision, some are not confident in themselves at all. In fact most of them are busy selling the idea to someone else, hoping that they will say yes you are doing the right thing or you will be OK.
The fact is no matter who tells you that you will be OK, or you can do it, or you are doing the right thing, how do they know? Firstly they are not in the same situation that you are in, secondly they are not ‘YOU’. How much they know or understand about what you do, enables them to give you their advice. How much do they know about your ability to do things? How much do they know about your inner fear?
You are the only person that knows about your own life, your business, your organisation and your challenges. You are the only person that knows about your own ability but only if you believe in yourself. You cannot convince anyone unless you believe in yourself first! People you seek advice from who can sense that you don’t have your self belief, their advice to you will be not to do it. I guess most of you in this situation are hoping to get this answer to justify yourself not to do it right?
You mustn’t worry about whether you can or cannot, because every task, every hurdle and every challenge always have a solution. The fact is if you don’t do it, someone else will. You mustn’t worry about the what and how, just focus on your self belief first, the answer about what and how will come. You mustn’t worry about it and if indeed there is no solution whatsoever, then there is no reason why you should worry about it either.
How do we know about ‘YES WE CAN DO IT’? Of course it always starts from action, doing and getting on with it without procrastination. When people have a lack of self belief, they usually procrastinate first, then sell their justification to others so they will agree that you shouldn’t do it. Action is one of the most powerful things in the human mind. Action will take you outside from your comfort zone. Action will make you see things outside the box. Many people hide themselves behind a so called ‘Feed Your Mind Screen’. Because they have lack of self belief, therefore, they hide themselves by keep going on training courses, reading motivational books, attending motivational seminars, or watching videos to continue to feed their mind. Of course ‘Feed Your Mind’ is part of the important process to help us on knowledge and self motivation. But if you overload yourself, it will de-motivate you more and more because soon or later, you are trapping yourself inside the knowledge tunnel that you can’t go backwards because it will mean defeat to you, but you can’t go forward either because you can’t see yourself becoming the person you are listening to, or following as your mentor. This is all because you take no action. No battle can be won on simulation, you can only win if you actually fight for it. You make a plan before you engage a battle, but you can only make the necessary plan adjustment during the battle. ACTION – PLAN, ACTION – BATTLE, ACTION – ADJUSTMENT, ACTION – WIN!
Never compare yourself with others because other’s success is unique to them in their own right and their own timing. Your right and your timing will come if you keep doing it and keep at it. Some people are successful because they have the advantage of being born talented. However, talent never lasts if they don’t have the hard work ethic, consistency and persistency. We don’t need to have talent to do things, we only need to be consistent and persistent then YES WE CAN DO IT!
When we learn to ride a bike, no matter how many times you watch others riding or reading the book or video on how to do it. We need to hop on it, it might be wobbly a little to start, and we may constantly make adjustments and corrections, but very soon we keep paddling and our ride will go smoother along the way. This is all because it results from action. With action YES WE CAN DO IT! Don’t you ever allow yourself to be told by others that you can’t or shouldn’t do it. Each time when you experience such an answer from others it’s because it truly comes from inside yourself. Work on your self beliefs, then anything in front of us will be just a journey to us and we will reach the destination at the end.
