I Believe I Can Fly

I believe I can fly, just not like Superman does, although I have to wonder if my belief was true and strong, could I? I know that the only limits we have are those we place on ourselves so my answer is; probably. But flying is not my subject today, belief is & the title of this post was just for fun.

Long time readers know that my theory for creation is; belief + expectation = actions + results. Every aspect of your life is your creation and has come from your beliefs because belief is the starting point for everything. You expect what you believe will happen then you take whatever action you take based on that expectation and the results you get come from the actions that you take.

Why is understanding this important? Because if you want to achieve a goal but your belief in your ability to achieve that goal is weak then you have little or no real expectation of realizing that goal so your actions will be, at best, half-hearted and you have little chance of success.

It has been my experience that when a person lacks confidence in their ability to achieve a goal it is because they feel inadequate, Oh sure, it may be disguised as something else but when you peel back all the layers, all that is left is that mistaken notion of inadequacy.

The good news is that is hard slap upside the head will fix that. No, I do not mean a literal slap I mean a metaphorical slap. Thinking it through and realizing that we are human and equal. Study history and success and you will see that smart people, not so smart people and not at all smart people have succeeded so its not intelligence that predicates success. same with luck, family connections or whatever. People that succeed do so because they believe that they can and because they believe they start moving in the direction of their goal fully expecting to reach it. And so can you.
