I understand that completely. Your greatest
battles will always be with yourself more so
than your circumstances. When we're
defeated, we're always defeated in our minds
first. When we're down, it's usually because
we're exaggerating the so called "reality" that
we face. The mountains in our minds are
always bigger than the mountains we have to
climb but at least we know where our
problems lie !
Confidence, Passion, and Ability
If I know the problem is me, then that's good
news, because I have the power to change me.
If I'm just subject to something outside of me,
then I may not be able to change it.
Therefore, the more I can strengthen my own
beliefs, the greater will be my chance of
changing my circumstances.
How do you strengthen your beliefs? It comes
down to three areas: Confidence, Passion, and
Ability. If you can empower these three, you'll
turn into a beast of achievements! Let's break
them down.
"If you want to conquer the world, conquer yourself first"
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
Confidence
Confidence is when you appreciate, celebrate, rely upon,
and are assured of your character and potential.
Passion
Passion is an intense desire for something, and it is the
primary fuel that keeps you pursuing personal change and
achievement.
Ability
Ability is taken from "able," and it has to do with your
proficiency in something, as in your skill set and talents.
