A lot of people seem to have this thought in their heads. But do we really believe that? The sad truth is, most people are not doing it. There’s a big difference between believing and doing- and when it comes down to the wire, what we can do is what we’re willing to put in. We might not be able to bring down the wall or run 100 miles in one day, but if we’re ready to make that extra effort, anything becomes possible.
Many people struggle to believe in themselves. They think they are not good enough to do the things they want to do and don’t try because of this self-doubt. In a society where we are constantly being told what we can and cannot do, it’s easy to lose our sense of self-efficacy.
Self-efficacy is the degree to which one believes in one’s capabilities. When people lack self-efficacy, they tend to give up easily on their goals. It’s likely that you feel under pressure from the society around you, which is why it’s important to maintain your belief in yourself.
Believe in yourself because you deserve the chance for success. Success does not always come easily, and it is not always what you expect it to be. Sometimes, you may be surprised with the success that comes your way, and sometimes, you may not be. The important part is believing in yourself and having the courage to try your best, even if it does not turn out how you expected it to.
