Seeing Is Believing...Or Is It?

1. Recall your successes. Think about past achievements and recognize the part you played in this success. Refrain from diminishing your role. Instead, give yourself as much credit as you comfortably can.
2. Read about other people's lives, especially those who have overcome difficult situations to achieve their dreams. These people have the same inherent abilities you have. We're all created with the natural ability to succeed at our dreams. The primary determinants of success are attitude and perseverance.
3. Allow yourself to consider the possibility that you can achieve whatever you dream. Daydream readily about your successes, encouraging yourself to visualize how it will be when (not if) you achieve your dreams.
4. Accept that your beliefs are simply ideas you hold about yourself and the world around you, ideas that you've accumulated to help you understand and explain your surroundings. Reflect on beliefs you hold that may be preventing you from the growth you desire; change beliefs that restrict you.
