Believing is everything
Posted by Intuition Girl
Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” Truer words were never spoken. Imagine if Watty Piper had never written, “The Little Engine that Could“… it is one of the most beloved children’s stories of all time. It teaches both children and adults alike about the power of hard work and optimism to achieve life’s goals. Essentially, the story is based on the idea that “believing is everything” and when you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
By fine-tuning yourself toward achieving a specific goal or objective, you awaken ALL of your senses to the greater Universal flow within you. Things that were seemingly impossible to you suddenly aren’t that far out of reach. Because you are using both your inner consciousness and your alert state of mind, you can focus better on those things that before were unattainable. Aristotle understood that “hope is a waking dream“. He knew that in order to fulfill life’s destiny, not only must a person have hope and dreams, they must awaken that hope and turn those dreams into reality. Setting your path to forward means that you are going to put every effort into what it is you desire in life. You understand that realizing dreams doesn’t just call for imagining what you would like to have, it means you have to pursue those dreams full throttle. Once you start, there is no turning back!
I want you to think about something that will improve your overall lifestyle. Do you have a mental picture of it? Why do you want it? How will it benefit you? Now, ask yourself, “How am I going to achieve it?” If you are automatically saying that you cannot do it, then you have already lost belief in yourself. If you turn to your higher self, it is already giving you some clues on how to create the map to achieving what it is you want. Believe in yourself first. By doing so, half the battle has already been won.
Now that you have an illustration of creating the life you want, take out a pen and paper (or whatever you have handy) and draw out the map you see in your mind’s eye. What other items do you need to arrive at your destination? Write out your thoughts and draw out any related images. (Hint – you don’t have to be Picasso) Remember, while the Universe will help you – ultimately, you must be responsible for paving the way. The good news is that by crafting your own outline on paper, you can refer to it anytime or anywhere you want. It is a visual reminder of the things you must do to create the reality you want. Never forget that believing is everything. Believe in yourself, trust yourself, and know that what lies ahead is the future you create first in your mind and second through your actions.
