Why should I belive you?
So, do you belive in what you are saying?
I`ve come across alot of people who have tried to convince me about all sorts of things through life.
It have been teachers trying to tell me about "my potential" when I was younger, it`s been politicians and salesmen and alot of other people since I`ve gotten older, all trying to make me belive in them, their politics or whatever product that they are selling.
Quite often they haven`t had any success. Why?
Because they didnt manage to convince me that they were right.
Something in the way that they`ve spoken or acted has made me loose interest or starting to look for flaws in whatever they are claiming to be the best for me.

And I´ve identified one of the top reasons for that being that they just didnt belive themselves in what they were saying.
I was a youngster with a lot of problems growing up, I didn`t do drugs or so but I hung around those that did, I skipped school and so on, truly insecure of my own capability to achieve anythng positive. As Like so many other youngsters I were trying to fit in but not feeling "good enough" to do so where it would benefit me the most or when it came to anything that actually could be a positive situation.
I wasnt stupid in any way, I didn`t really have a problem getting good grades in subjects that I found interesting yet I didnt make any effort at all in those subjects. Didnt do any homework or study for a test. I remember one teacher who really struggled to reach out to me, she tried so hard but just couldnt seem to reach me. Today I feel really grateful to her anyway since she showed me what being an adult and seeing a troubled child really should mean.
She said that she belived in me, but you see, her insecurity about me being able to pull through shined through and I could sense that. That was the emotion that I brought with me from her kind words; "She doesnt belive that so why should I?".
The same goes to a salesman trying to sell you a new telephone or whatever, if he or she, doesnt belive in their product the likelyness of you buying it will be really low.
And it also goes for us all, as human beings.
We cant expect to be belived or even heard, unless we belive in ourselves, in our knowledge, in us being good peopla and being worthy of being seen or heard.
I did a post a couple of days ago that said what you ask of life is what you will get back from life.
If you ask for nothing that is also what you will get back from life -nothing.
The next time you doubt yourself, please take a step back and consider the previous times in life where you actually did achieve something, where you did learn something or felt any kind of success. Even if it was "just tieing your own shoelaces", because you see, you can choose where you focus. If you focus on things that didnt work out for you, then you will have a hard time beliving it could be any other way.
The same way goes for positive things. It`s like the difference between filling up a car with gasoline or water, the tank will accept either one but what makes the car moving?
What was the last thing that you achieved? Please tell me in the comments, or if you like tell me about a great memory when you achieved something in your past that still makes you smile just thinking about it?
Take care now and have a great day!
