Everything You Want Starts With Believing You Can Have It
Money, experience, education, talent — none of it matters if you don’t believe in yourself
I’ve been working on a goal-setting workshop for my clients recently. In the process, I came across this quote:
The strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness is self-esteem: believing you can do it, believing you deserve it, believing you will get it. — Jerry Gillies
I share this quote in my workshop because of how deeply it resonated with me about setting goals and achieving them.
We make the mistake of thinking that we need external things to accomplish what we want. We think we need:
· Money
· Experience
· Education
· Talent
· Specific relationships
· Other resources that come from someone or somewhere other than us
And it’s not entirely wrong to think so. You can’t buy a yacht without money. You can’t be a lawyer without the education and training. You can’t be a singer if you can’t sing.
But here’s the raw truth: those are all secondary to what you have inside you.
