How do you expect to win if you are yet to start trusting and believing in yourself? How do you wish to live in the realities of your heart desires when you don’t even trust and believe in your abilities and capabilities? How do you expect to win when you aren’t even aware that God has already instilled in you, all that you need to experience the life of a winner? Whatever it is that doesn’t allow you to travel in the direction of your true destiny on earth, shouldn’t be sheltered in your mind. Your thoughts are very powerful, and if you aren’t positioning them to drive you in the positive direction, they would then likely stand in your way of progress. The beliefs that you constantly feed to your mind will always determine the main future outcomes of your life. Negative beliefs will never create a positive life no matter how long you wish and hope for a life of success and happiness. If you constantly occupy your mind with self-defeating negative thoughts, it would be hard for you to gain the confidence to trust and believe in yourself. God believes in you and knows very well that you are very capable of achieving the goals and dreams that you set for yourself. He believes that you are fully equipped to vindicate success and happiness in your life. Your mind isn’t a shelters for fears and doubts; rather, it is vessel where positive words of encouragement belong. Your thoughts are meant to cheer you up and not to bring you down and create some dominant negative feelings and emotions in your life. You can never learn to trust and believe in yourself by constantly focusing on your weaknesses while ignoring to count your strengths. Habitual negative thoughts can only hold you a prisoner in your own life if you shelter them in your mind.. They can only create feelings and emotions that would lead you to engage in self-defeating decisions and actions. This is why you must learn to trust and believe in your abilities and capabilities at all times.
