Is A Belief In Yourself The Only Thing You Need To Succeed?
Success is made up out of a near infinite amount of factors.
From luck and your upbringing, to the work you put in and the skills you have, to how you treat yourself and those around you.
Time-management, Charisma, Creativity, Resistance, Discipline, Fortune, Favor, Resilience, Courage…
There are so many factors that determine success that it is hard to pinpoint which one, if any one, brings success.
The thing is, for any of them to even have a chance at appearing, you have to be aware of your part in success.
If you do not believe that you can take any actions that lead to success, nor that you can make it even if you do get lucky, then you simply create a cycle of self-fulfilling prophecies that get you out of your chance at success.
That’s the reason why believing in yourself is so important: because it removes the fear of acting.
Just the belief will not get you to succeed in everything, but that’s not the point.
The point is that if you do not believe in yourself you will not try.
People that do not believe they are attractive enough for someone will never ask them out.
