When Self-trust is Missing.....what do you think?. must read...

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that te elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. Well, trainer said "when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grew up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free". The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believe they couldn't, they were stuck there.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we or someone had failed at it once? If you believe you cannot win; you will never be a winner. Self-belief motivate you to start and give you advantage to finish. When you believe in yourself, you will always appear confidence, calm and relax. You will shake off the pressure mounted on you and stay focus on your goal. Believe is the anchor of dream, the stimulus to action and incentive to achievement. David belief in himself and that stimulate his action to fight Goliath, which he won! When you also believe in yourself, engage yourself in what you believe in, you will defeat your critics by achieving what they said you can't achieve; just like David. John C. Maxwell summed it up when he said "believing in yourself increases your chance of success"
