How to Genuinely Believe In Yourself

I believe in you.

I know a lot of self-help gurus like to say this in a patronizing way. You can picture them with the cheesy grin on their face “I believe in you!” “You can do it!”

Well, if you’ve been reading my stuff for any period of time you know that’s not how I get down.

See, when I say I believe in you, I’m not saying I think you can do anything you put your mind to. I don’t think that, at all.

I have a chapter about this in my new book about this, actually. There is a wide range of things you simply can’t do no matter how much you put your mind to them. And that’s okay.

There’s also a wide range of things you can do if you put your mind to them. If you stick to those, you can have a successful life. By successful, I mean successful by your standards.

You can have a life you love without having to be rich, famous, exceptionally gifted, or any of the other things we usually equate with the word success.

You can simply be mentally free. Regardless of your level of talent, if you believe in yourself enough, you can free your mind to understand that you can live freely and construct a life where you more or less get to do whatever the hell you want.
