titled Unshakeable Self Belief. Unshakeable self belief. Unshakeable self belief
(03:18):
is something that we all must walk in every day
because you have to believe in yourself. God believes in you,
so you have to believe in yourself. When you believe
in yourself, you will be confident, you will be focused
to do what you need to do. You will take
(03:40):
the initiatives to make sure that you commit to what
you say you will do, because it's all about being
a better you. So you got to believe in yourself.
You have to make sure that you define I mean
(04:01):
why you want to do what you want to do
when it comes to your goals. But before you can
define why you want to do what you want to do,
you have to believe in yourself. You have to understand
who you are. You have to understand the importance of
(04:25):
having confidence and simply just believing in yourself. And if
you don't believe in yourself, you can start today to
practice to think more positively, to simply believe in yourself.
Understand your abilities, Understand your skills, Understand what you have mastered,
(04:49):
Understand what you have studied all of your life. And
when I say what you have mastered and what you
have studied, I'm talking about your education and what you
have exposed yourself to do. We all have mastered something.
We all have the ability to be good at doing something,
(05:12):
and so it's important for you to simply believe in
yourself with determination, because self belief is a quality that
you must possess. It's not just confidence, it's a quality
(05:34):
because you have to understand you are competent, and you
have to understand what you are capable of doing. Those
small accomplishments are just as great as the big accomplishments,
and you can achieve more if you take the time
(05:54):
to reflect and think about some of the things you
have gone through in your life and some of the
challenges that you have overcome. Think about setting new challenges
for yourself, stretch yourself, empower yourself more by simply believing
(06:17):
in yourself. You can't go far if you don't believe
in yourself. There are limitations that are set when a
person doesn't believe in themselves. Protect your mental space from
(06:37):
negativity because you can every day you live. You can
be conscientious and mindful of how you should think. Don't
allow yourself to be or stay in a downward position mentally.
(07:00):
And what do I mean by that. I'm talking about
negative self talk. I'm talking about not forgiving yourself. I'm
talking about not showing yourself grace. Don't allow yourself excuse
me to get into those positions mentally, and if for
some reason you do get into that type of position,
(07:24):
get out. Have conversations with people that will encourage you.
Eliminate conversations that are not beneficial. Talk to people that
will empower you to think different. Set goals for yourself
to make sure that you are not indulging in negative
(07:47):
conversations or negative self talk. Be consistent with same focus
every day to keep keep yourself lifted mentally and spiritually.
Be strong when you have to deal with criticism, because
(08:12):
all criticism doesn't It's not supposed to tear you down.
Some criticism comes to help you to simply be better.
So when someone criticizes you, depending on what they are saying,
be strong, but keep believing yourself. If someone criticizes you,
(08:38):
it doesn't mean you have to stop believing yourself, and
you don't have to become discouraged in the midst of
the criticism. But simply be strong and evaluate what the
person is criticizing. But make sure you stay strong to
keep believing yourself. Understand how important it is to look
(09:02):
at what you have accomplished in the past because you
believed in yourself. Understand how powerful you are when you
are focused. Think about how determine you were to achieve
(09:27):
your goals in the past. Think about that for a second.
Think about how you studied and how you prayed, and
how you stayed up some nights to complete certain tasks
because you believed in yourself. Think about when you graduated
(09:50):
from college because you believed in yourself. Develop new skills,
invest in learning something new to make your goals manifest
because you believe in yourself. As you go forward, stay
(10:15):
within supportive circles always, because as you stay within supportive
circles and company, you will keep believing in yourself. Practice
positive self talk every single day as always say, replace
(10:38):
the negative talk self talk with positive self talk. Make
sure you visualize your success regularly. That's right, visualize your
success regularly, that's right. This mental rehearsal strength is your
(11:00):
belief and your ability to succeed and prepare your mind
for the journey ahead. So understand that you are competent
because you believe in yourself. If you make a mistake
along the way, so what, Just keep going forward and
(11:21):
keep believing in yourself. Understand that where you see yourself
next week, and what and where you see yourself in
a year on two years. All things are possible because
you believe in yourself. Make sure you keep the faith.
That's right, keep the faith faith in God. While you
(11:45):
believe in yourself because God gave you the ability to
do great things, So believe in yourself. Don't doubt. Simply
believe in yourself because us. If you don't believe in yourself,
that's like saying you are not competent. And you are competent,
(12:07):
So believe in yourself. Some people say things like, oh,
well I'm not perfect. No, you're not perfect, but you
can perfectly believe in yourself. That's right. By simply maintaining
positive self talk daili, and simply believing in yourself because
(12:33):
you can, you don't have to fall prey to negative
self talk. Every single day you have an opportunity to
set the course for something new you want to do,
but first you must believe in yourself. You have to
(12:56):
change your course in patterns of thinking. It is mandatory
because negative thinking does not help you at all, So
change how you think. It is mandatory. When you engage
(13:18):
in conversations, make sure your conversations are edifying. Make sure
that you are speaking life. And what do I mean
by speaking life. I'm talking about speaking everything out of
your mouth that is positive. I'm not talking about some
(13:40):
kind of unrealistic thing. I'm talking about working on yourself
and simply believing in yourself, believing that all things are possible,
Believing that all things are possible with God. As you
believe in yourself, I have to do it every single
(14:02):
day for the rest of your life. Some people suffer
in secret and nobody knows about it. Well, guess what.
You don't have to suffer in secret anymore if you
simply believe in yourself, believe in yourself with God in
your mind and your heart and your spirit. Every day
(14:22):
that you live, believe in yourself with God every single day.
This is a non stop thing. There are no breaks
to this. Believe in yourself. When you feel like there
is doubt or something creeping around you, just tell yourself,
all things are possible. I can do it. I believe
(14:44):
I can do it. Don't run from the challenge, fight
back against the challenge. That's right, stay focused on what
is good. Love yourself. To believe in yourself, you gotta
do it. You have to do it. It's important for
you to do it. Somebody's waiting to hear from you
(15:09):
because there is something you have to do, there's something
you have to say. So believe in yourself. You gotta
believe in yourself. I'm saying this to you because there
was a time in my life when I didn't believe
in myself. Yes, that's right. There was a time years
(15:32):
ago that I didn't believe in myself. I was criticized
and a lot of negative words were said to me,
and through that, tears came to my eyes and I
paused and thought to myself, wait a minute, let me
(15:53):
think here, and you know what. I turned to God,
and as I begin to pray, he started reminding me
every single day, shrey, all things are possible. All things
are possible. So I went to school and I graduated.
(16:15):
I study music, I study public speaking, I study social sciences.
And so here I am today because God reminded me
all things are possible to him that believes. So you
gotta believe in yourself. You gotta believe in your self.
(16:40):
This is a NonStop thing. This is not a thing
you take a break with. Every single day you are
the project of self. That's right. To make this your
thought life and to believe in yourself. You gotta do
(17:02):
it because you want to walk and the power according
to who you are. You want to be strong and
you want to be able to continue to overcome as
(17:22):
you live through this life. You want to keep achieving
great goals, small goals. You want to be a better you,
So keep believing in yourself. All of the tips that
(17:43):
I mentioned as I was speaking, I'm going to repeat
them again. Make sure you develop a new skill, practice
positive self talk, stay with then supportive circles and company,
(18:04):
and make sure you stay strong when there is criticism.
And lastly, visualize your success. Stay focused on what is
good every day that you live. It's not a fantasy
to focus on what's good. It's a reality. When something
bad happens, you can acknowledge it for what it is.
(18:26):
But at the same time you acknowledge something for what
it is, you can still stay encouraged every day to
focus on what's good. So on that note, I am
