"Belief is the motivating force that enables you to achieve your goal" - Claude M. Bristol in "The Magic of Believing"
One of my favorite Scriptures is: “If you can believe, all things will be made possible to you.” An old Latin proverb says: “Believe that you have it, and you have it.” It’s amazing how what we use our mental capacities for determines what we have – both in the physical and metaphysical world. While some of my readers may equate this thought process of belief to pretty much an attitude, it is not. Attitude and belief are related, but they each produce different crops. Our mentergy, if I may, is wasted when we either have “no” beliefs or negative beliefs.
Successful people, regardless of their field of endeavor, are amazing believers! They see and believe in the buildings they erect, they believe in and see the efficient workforce they employ, and certainly believe in and see the fulfilled lives they hope to live. This belief in themselves can be an invigorating and motivating tool to spurn people into action.
I find that it is only when I have lost my belief – at the core, lost my faith – that I hit the hardest stretches in my journey. When I have lost faith in myself, have no belief in myself or the work I do, I tend to become a drag to be around (and, yes, even Kozhi hates to be around me!). This lack of belief gets me into trouble because I begin taking steps backward and shying away from the God-given mission for my life. Sadly, this is the point when I have lost so much...
So I ask – what are you losing, my friend? Have you no belief? In yourself? In humanity? In hope? Will you now do something about it? Or will you exercise your right, yet again, to not believe in yourself and the greatness lying dormant within you? Or will you, with a victorious shout, step out of your comfort and fire up your latent energy?
