Another word for this kind of faith is self-confidence. It is the confidence of one who acknowledges that God has given him sufficient talents to be success in the world. It is the confidence that raises him above mediocrity.
It does not allow him to sit back in defeat on the plea that he inferior to others. It gives him strength to turn failure into his own advantage. It makes him dream big dreams for a better future. It supplies him with the required power to push himself ahead towards the realization of his big dreams. It banishes all shadows of despair.
A student is satisfied enough with a third division pass. An athlete refuses to run because he presumes that the number of competitors allows him only a slim chance of victory. A young politician fears to speak his because he thinks he cannot influence the leaders. A writer burns his manuscripts because he thinks the readers might not appreciate writing. All these people allow their negative feelings to drown their spirit of self –confidence; they are people who lack faith in themselves. Nor do they have faith in God who has given them many talents.
The power to do anything depends on your faith in yourself. No matter what task you undertake, you can never be a master until you think you can. `He can only, who thinks he can,’ so goes a saying. The world recognizes only those people who are determined to find their way. It is not easy to stop a man from doing something he is convinced of. Only such people can overcome obstacles in their way.
Every person should have faith in himself. He should have that faith which is able to work wonders with the elements of nature. It has the power to transform the world around us to make it a better place to live in. it is this faith in man’s powers and initiative that urges us to explore the space above and the earth beneath. This faith is to be found in varying degrees in very man.
Have trust in yourself. Think of ways and means to do your work properly. Never lament your handicaps. Never pity yourself. A person who thinks positively will achieve success and happiness. When difficulties, troubles and handicaps come in your way, confront them without fear.
At the some time you should realize everybody has limitations. A person should know what he is capable of achieving and what he is not. Unrealistic goals can make a person disappointed and sad. Have a clear picture of what you can do. Confidence and positive thinking will give meaning to your life. You can make the world a little better and happier.
*Only he can who thinks he can. The power to do anything depends on your faith in yourself. No matter what tasks you undertake, you will never be able to do it properly until you think you can.
