Believe in Yourself (Part 2)

We saw in the last article, 'Believe in yourself' Part 1, what it means, why believing in you is so important and ways to believe in yourself.  In this article, we shall see five essential steps that can help you to believe in yourself.

1. Believe In Yourself

Your values in life determine your beliefs, about yourself and the world around you.  If you have positive values, such as love, compassion, and generosity, you will believe that people in your world are deserving of these values, and you will treat them accordingly. When you believe in yourself and chose to be a good person, you will find yourself to be more positive and successful in life.

2. Set Expectations and Know Your Values In Life

Your beliefs, in turn, determine the important aspects of your personality, your expectations. If you have positive values, you will believe yourself to be a good person.  If you believe in yourself to be a good person, you will expect good things to happen to you. If you expect good things to happen to you, you will be positive, cheerful, and future-oriented. You will look for the good in other people and situations.

3. Attitude: Expect Good Things to Happen

The third level of your personality, determined by your expectations, is your attitude. Your attitude will be an outward manifestation or reflection of your values, beliefs, and expectations.  For example, if your value is that this is a good world to live in and your belief is that you are going to be very successful in life, you will expect that everything that happens to you is helping you in some way.

As a result, you will have a positive mental attitude towards other people and they will respond positively towards you.  You will be a more cheerful and optimistic person. You will be someone who others want to work with and for, buy from and sell to, and generally help to be more successful.

4. Be A Good Person Through Your Actions

Your actions on the outside will ultimately be a reflection of your innermost values, beliefs, and expectations on the inside. This is why what you achieve in life and work will be determined more by what is going on inside of you than by any other factor.

5. Action Exercise
