Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.\u201d What joy to hear the praises of self-confidence! Self-confidence creates success, draws success, inspires success and attracts success. What joy to know that it is in our own hands to achieve and own it! As Benjamin Franklin, American statesman wrote: \u201cGod helps those who help themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In his video, Unbreakable Laws of Self-Confidence, Brian Tracy, motivational speak and author, states that \u2018self-confidence is everything.\u201d It is something we can develop and achieve. To give evidence of its critical importance he speaks about a friend\u2019s research:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA friend of mine spent 18 years studying the biographies of more than 500 men and women who had started with nothing and became successful\u2026And he was looking for the common denominator of success. And he found it. He found that every single one of these people throughout their lives absolutely believed that they would going be a big success\u2013 They absolutely believed that they were going to be a big success when they grew up and no matter what happened to them in their adult lives and they never lost sight of that. Like the three wise men following the star the felt that everything that happened was part of the process, every setback was a lesson, every pain was something sent to teach them something that would be helpful and they never stopped believing in themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To develop self-confidence Tracy states: \u201cSo, all you need to do to raise your self-confidence, your self-esteem and your level of attainment high is to have an absolutely clear goal and work on it every single day.\u201d To build the self-confidence needed to be successful, he suggests laws that serve to guide us:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Law of Beliefs \u2013you believe that you must ultimately achieve this goal, unswervingly, and that belief creates your reality because you being to see the world differently.<\/p>\n<p>Law of Expectations \u2013you confidently expect that everything that happens is part of a plan to help bring you towards your goal<\/p>\n<p>Law of Attraction \u2013 you attract people, ideas and circumstances into your life to help you to achieve your most important goal.<\/p>\n<p>Law of Subconscious and the Law of Correspondence- your outer world corresponds to your inner world of goal-setting<\/p>\n<p>Law of Sub-Conscious Activity \u2013 you continually program your subconscious mind with a clear picture of your goal and your subconscious mind arranges all your words and actions so that they fit a pattern consistent with achieving that goal<\/p>\n<p>Law of Habit -You think about your goal repeatedly over and over again until it becomes a habit to wake up in the morning and think all your day about your goal<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Set your sights on your goal\u2026 and your life\u2019s purpose. Believe in it\u2026 from the bottom of your heart. Let it fill you with unquenchable passion and fire. Ralph Hodgson, English poet, wrote: \u201cSome things have to be believed to be seen.\u201d Let your self-confidence come alive and give you new eyes so that you continue to discover the incredible talents and gifts within you. Let its inspiration set others on fire also so that they, like you, will \u201cset fire to the rain\u201d and be more than they ever dreamed they could be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have a beautiful day and an extraordinary week!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To: The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning &nbsp; Malcolm Forbes, publisher, said: \u201cToo many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.\u201d Leib&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[218,217,219],"class_list":["post-749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-three-minute-leadership","tag-leib-lazarow","tag-malcolm-forbes","tag-self-confidence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=749"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":755,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749\/revisions\/755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
