Believe In Yourself

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes. But self confidence leads to self realization and successful achievement.

Lots of people are affected by inferiority complex. But you need not suffer from this trouble. When proper steps are taken, it can be overcome. There are various causes of inferiority feelings and most of them arise from childhood. These complexes erect barriers in our personalities. It is some emotional violence done to us in childhood, or the consequences of certain circumstances, or something we did to ourselves.

Perhaps you had an older brother who was a brilliant student. He got A’s in school while you got C’s. so you believed that you could never succeed in life as he could. Apparently you never realized that some of those who failed to get high grades in school have been the greatest successes outside the school. Just because somebody gets an A in college, doesn’t make him the greatest man in the world, because maybe his A’s will stop when he gets his degree, and the person who got C’s, will go on later to get the real A’s in life.

The greatest secret for eliminating the inferiority complex is to fill your mind overflowing with faith. Develop a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a realistic faith in yourself. The acquiring of faith can be accomplished through prayers. Do not pray on the surface. Drive your prayers deep into your doubts, fears and inferiorities. Pray deep, so that there is plenty of suction and you will come up with a powerful and a vital faith.

Self confidence can also be achieved by clearing your mind of all the inadequate ideas. Your mind may be obsessed with the thoughts of insecurity and inadequacy, and this is due to the fact that such ideas have dominated your thinking over a long period of time. I suggest you, that in order to build up feelings of self confidence, intrigue confident concepts and ideas in your mind.
