Self belief, believing in yourself, is one of life’s great maxims. You can only ever be truly responsible for your own actions and if you believe in yourself then the world is your oyster.
Check out the video from ExtremeSortsWorld of a number of individuals doing stuff – parkour, gymnastics, martial arts, wushu, tumbling, acrobatics, break dance – that you would not believe to be possible. But for those individuals captured on this video there is one common thread – they possess that self belief.
Seneque is quoted in the video ‘It is not because things are difficult that we don’t dare, its because we don’t dare that things are difficult’, and more from Alfred de Musset, ‘Man is pupil, pain is his teacher’.
And the extraordinary Bruce Lee had this to say about the matter, ‘Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the one who thinks (believes) he can’.
That about sums it up, we recommend you watch this video and if ever you find life is getting you down we suggest you look inside of yourself, find yourself and believe in yourself – you can do it,you are an amazing creation – enjoy!
