You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the Earth by the Master Craftsman.
MAX LUCADO Best-selling author If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe you have the right stuff, that you are able to pull it off. You have to believe in yourself. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes—the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.
Believing in Yourself is an Attitude Believing in yourself is a choice. It is an attitude you develop over time. Although it helps if you had positive and supportive parents, the fact is that most of us had run-of-the-mill parents who inadvertently passed on to us the same limiting beliefs and negative conditioning they grew up with.
But remember, the past is the past. There is no payoff for blaming them for your current level of self-confidence. It’s now your responsibility to take charge of your own self-concept and your beliefs. You must choose to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to—anything at all— because, in fact, you can. It might help you to know that the latest brain research now indicates that with enough positive self-talk and positive visualization combined with the proper training, coaching, and practice, anyone can learn to do almost anything.
Of the hundreds of supersuccessful people I have interviewed for this and other books, almost every one of them told me, “I was not the most gifted or talented person in my field, but I chose to believe anything was possible. I studied, practiced, and worked harder than the others, and that’s how I got to where I am.” If a 20-year-old Texan can take up the luge and become an Olympic athlete, a college dropout can become a billionaire, and a dyslexic student who failed three grades can become a best-selling author and television producer, then you, too, can accomplish anything if you will simply believe it is possible.
If you assume in favor of yourself and act as if it is possible, then you will do the things that are necessary to bring about the result. If you believe it is impossible, you will not do what is necessary, and you will not produce the result. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There are several mental attitudes that have encouraged failure in the lives of many people. All that you see in a man finds root in his mind so actions are mere expressions of one’s mind. For every character flaw to be corrected, start from the mind. On that note here are tips to set you on that journey to transforming your mind and ultimately, where you end up in life.
LOW SELF ESTEEM (LSE): The feeling or the mindset that brings a man to a position where he believes, either consciously or subconsciously, that he is not good enough; that he is perpetually in a state of disadvantage and there’s always something he to do to meet up to a standard.
It is a terrible mindset because it produces terrible fruits. The foolishness of many people in the society is motivated by this mindset.
When low self-esteem is mature it ushers in aggression, extravagant ce, pride and a desire to make others inferior in order to your show relevance. Imagine an instance where ladies constantly borrow to look good saying it’s packaging. That just makes things complicated.
LSE is one of the causes of impatience especially amongst young people. We rush into so many things and end up as casualties. LSE is also responsible for back biting and gossip. When you are determined to find out things you will always find something even when they are not there.
MINDSET THAT LEADS TO UNCULTURED USE OF WORDS:
Many of us have killed the destiny and dreams of people because of this gate called our mouth. Pressure to say things that shouldn’t be could set in motion a series of terrible events. Set a watch over your mouth.
We have constantly gotten ourselves into trouble because of our mouth. We should learn to know when to speak and when to keep shut!
The height of mental maturity is knowing when to speak and when to listen. There’s a due season for communication.
These are some of the things that make leaders out of people, because someday, somebody will say something about your life, your ministry or your business. May we not run our mouths in the presence of our enemies and so put ideas in their heads. I pray God makes and gives us the gift of friends that have discipline with words. We should learn to treat people with honour and respect.
It takes more than certificate to reign in life
Never be under pressure to prove your innocence
There is a law “you can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth”.
As long as success is about you, you must be talked about
Be comforted by the immutability of kingdom laws, don’t be under pressure to prove the truth.
You can’t hide truth for long
I pray we receive grace to show courtesy and honour men
Don’t hit things in a way that scatters the opportunities of tomorrow because you are trying to respond to the pain of today.
If someone offends you handle the situation in wisdom
When people honour you, reciprocate it and you will become a friend to everybody.
Lastly, THE MENTALITY OF ENDURANCE : Many people will not taste of the fruit of true success because they gas out on the journey to greatness.
You have to endure a lot; hardship, disappointment, heartbreak, losses etc.
Never want my crown until you see the scars on my hand
Never trivialise a prosperous man
Never give up, when you do, you make the prophecy of critics true.
At every given point in your life the number of people that love you out weigh the ones that hate you. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.
You should know that the resultant effect of this transformation is THE MINDSET OF CHRIST (Phil 2:5). ]]>
