Belief in yourself is the beginning of self motivation and achieving your dreams. Without a solid belief in your own potential and abilities, you are doomed to failure and mediocrity.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
I believe that quote sums it all up. Many people are simply afraid to think of themselves as anything but average. The truth is – most people are average. The truth is also that most people don’t use their average ability. Most people live below their average ability.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
Potential is simply what you can do, but have not yet done.
Myles Munroe in his inspirational book “Understanding Your Potential” defines potential as:
“…All you can be but have not yet become…all you can do but have not yet done…how far you can reach but have not yet reached…what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished.
Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
You must understand that every human being is born with unlimited potential. There is a vast pool of untapped ability in each one of us. The only question is – are you willing to seek it out and bring it to fruition?
If you believe, like I do, that there is a God and that he created you, then you won’t find it hard to believe that you were created with vast ability and potential. God, after all, made man “in his own image.” He made YOU in his own image. If God made you in his own image, then you must be very much like God in a lot of ways. Then to say that you are limited in your potential or that you don’t have much ability to excel would be to insult God’s intelligence and ability.
That is where my self-esteem and belief in my ability comes from. I was made by the greatest being in the Universe. That is where most “self-esteem” movements fail. Self-esteem has got to have a basis. It’s got to “hang” onto something. Self-esteem without this solid foundation is potentially dangerous and destructive. However, with God as your anchor you can do anything.
Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.

Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.
“The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself. In as much as you believe it, it is what you live by. It is your personal truth.”
Okay I wrote that one (feel free to quote me), but it basically sums up what I believe about the subject of believing in oneself. It doesn’t matter what your parents, teachers, peers, employer or any one else thinks of you. What matters is what you think of yourself. If you believe what others say about you, good or bad, you are lost. Have your own opinion of who you are. That way That way YOU are in control.
Don’t be defined by someone else. Define yourself. Believe in yourself. Hey if you don’t, who is going to?
God believes in you. Why shouldn’t you believe in yourself?
Self Motivation Fact # 4 – YOU CAN CHART YOUR OWN COURSE.
The good news is – there is another way. Chart out your own course. Break out of the mould. Listen to that small inner voice. It knows more about you than you can imagine.
You can be an original, not a copy. If you are dissatisfied with life could it be because deep down you have a feeling that there is more to it than what you are experiencing? Is it possible that that still small voice is trying to tell you to “get up and be the person you should be!”
Here is a great self motivation tip:
“You are all you can be…go on and be it”

“The greatest thing about man is his ability to transcend himself, his ancestry and his environment and to become what he dreams of being.”
remember:
”If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.
