8 Things Will Happen When You Start To Believe In Yourself
People who are
generally inclined towards regular self-improvement will likely continue
to do so. Others may not. The difference has nothing to do with their external situations.
Success or failure in almost anything starts from within. Once you start
believing in yourself, you create a domino effect of positive outcomes. This is
true whether you are trying to lose weight, start a business, or just be
happier in life.
Here are eight
things that happen when you start to believe in yourself:
1. You become less judgmental.
Judgment and
negative energy are a reflection of the giver, not the receiver. People who
spend a lot of time judging others generally spend very little time working on
themselves. When you put your energy into your own life and choices, you
stop focusing on everyone else. The road to truly believing in yourself is
paved by knowing and accepting yourself, flaws and all. Walking that
journey also makes you much more compassionate and aware that others may also
be traveling down a path that you cannot see.
2. You can actually do more.
The biggest
excuse people have for not doing what they need or want to do is, “I don’t have
the time.” Yet, every human being on the planet has the same amount of time in
a day. Time is a constant, not a variable. It is what it is. Luckily, although
time doesn’t change, you can. Lack of confidence manifests as fear and
perfectionism. However, you can start building confidence at any given
moment. Believing in yourself requires little investment and is
very liberating, both mentally and physically. As Henry Ford one
said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t… you’re right.”
3. You inspire others to believe in you.
Authentically
confident people are inspiring. When you truly believe in yourself, you hold
the power of influence. Others will want to aid your efforts. This is
especially important if you are growing a business or embarking on any endeavor
that requires support.
4. You handle criticism more objectively.
Nobody likes to
get negative feedback. The most successful people are those who can take input
from others, weed out the valid points, and make adjustments for the better.
Believing in yourself forms a more solid emotional foundation. It allows you to
rationally consider both the information and the source. You also won’t get
your feelings hurt as easily, as you’ll be able to compartmentalize negative
intentions. If there is some truth to what the other person is telling you, you
will be confident enough to take it with gratitude and put it in action to your
benefit.
5. You increase your power of persistence.
Everyone faces
tough times. While falling down is universal, the ability to get up and
keep going is individual. Believing in yourself doesn’t mean believing you are
all-powerful or perfect. It means trusting your ability to figure things out
and keep going. If anything, those who are truly confident expects some bumps
in the road. They know that those stumbling blocks will either teach them
something, make them stronger, or propel them to some unexpected place. Believe
in yourself and keep going.
6. You attract miracles.
By default,
believing in yourself creates positive energy. As you begin to expect the best,
you will start to see things happening that are perfectly aligned with your
desires and goals. Energy attracts like energy. It is not blind faith or luck;
it’s the way things naturally work. It’s knowing that you are doing what you
need to do towards creating your ultimate outcome. My personal mantra is, “As I am moving towards my goals, they
are also coming towards me.”
7. You become more disciplined.
A deep internal
belief in oneself invariably leads to better habits in life. You don’t want to
let yourself down! Accepting and believing in yourself is extremely empowering;
with great power, comes great responsibility. You can no longer blame others or
wait for external forces to make things happen for you. People who have a deep
inner belief in themselves also tend to develop great external strategies.
8. Your potential for success becomes exponential.
Tapping into
pure self-confidence is like finding an ocean. When you first start testing the
waters, it may feel uncomfortable. As you find initial success, your initial
hesitance fades and excitement starts to take over. Eventually, you are the
ship with unlimited potential, eager to see what’s next. Everyone’s journey may
be a little different, but once you get there, the possibilities are
endless. Increased confidence brings increased capacity.
