Believing
in Yourself
When we were
young, we believed in anything and everything—even
in the existence of fairies. However, as we grew older, we became more
skeptical, and we might have even stopped believing in ourselves. But it is
important that we believe in
ourselves, especially as we continue to age. Believing in yourself holds the
key to successful aging.
Diane Sawyer once said: “Whatever you want in life, other people are
going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you
have an equal right to it.”
It may sound
too simple. However, many of us may find it too difficult to do just that:
believing in ourselves.
Believing in yourself is confidence in your
own ability, knowing what you have to do to win or simply to get what you want
in life. In your senior years, you may have become physically incapacitated,
and your health may have compromised such that you need believing in yourself
once again to do what needs to be done. It is important that you can still make
waves in your senior years; without believing in yourself, it is easy to go
downhill as you continue to age. Why not make the best of your senior years,
turning them into golden years of your life?
Believing in yourself is one of the first
steps to success.in doing anything that becomes the substance of your
confidence. To have confidence, you must set goals, and achieving your goals
helps you build more confidence in the process.
There is, however, one roadblock to
believing in yourself: everyone, with no exception, fails to achieve some
goals at some points in life. This stumbling block may create negativity
in the form of victimization. In other words, you may find that you are a
victim of circumstances; this negative mindset may also lead to your bitterness
or even anger.
Develop mindfulness, which is acute awareness of your thinking mind. If you feel that your are a victim, you often have a tendency to complain. When you are just about to complain, a thought begins to form in your mind. Before you vocalize it, stop short! What would you rather have instead? Train your mind to focus on gratitude: grateful for what you already have, rather than what you want to have. Very often, it is your negative thinking, such as being a victim, that holds you back. A positive mind enhances your positive mind to take positive actions, and you will start believing in yourself again.
Your Golden Years and Santa Claus shows you how to live your life to the fullest, just like Santa Claus, in your golden years, and how to fuel your belief in yourself. There is another way to live your life, if you don't like the current one you are living.
If You Just Don’t Die! Shows you how to
live longer, even to 100 and beyond. Living a meaningful and purposeful life is
important, if you just don’t die! Get the wisdom to do just that!
