I believe!
So in the Principles, I'm reading about the importance of believing in yourself. This is probably one of the most important points that could be stressed.
Look, it's not the first time you or I have heard it. "yeah, yeah... I believe in myself..." "believe it and you can achieve it..." blah. blah. blah.
But seriously. How many of us really, really truly believe in ourselves. If you're like me, doubt, fear, a bitchy little negative voice often comes into play - urging, yelling, nagging - "no you can't."
Well, I have had that voice for too long and I'm really working at making it shut the F up. I've always wanted to run a marathon but the doubt that I could do it has always plagued me. But not any more. I signed up for a 1/2 marathon yesterday and I have not one shred of doubt that I can do it, because I believe I can. so I will. And that's that. I think that it might take a little work but with practice, that little inner voice of doubt can be replaced with a strong voice of belief.
I started another blog about that journey towards training for the marathon - as I've found that writing about these experiences are both motivating for me and supplies me with great accountability.
If you wanna read that, it's here: www.seejerroerun.blogspot.com
I fully believe that both this emotional Canfield journey and my physical marathon journey goes hand in hand - I would've never chose to try to do that if it wasn't for reading this book.
I believe there's a great future ahead!
