Are there things that you believe in? Do you believe that the earth is round, the sky is blue and that birds can fly? Think of those things that you've learned in life and believe in. Your everyday existence is based and influenced by your belief in one thing or another. I know for certain that I can get in my car and drive a certain route and get myself to work. I know that if I pick up and eat what looks like a pretzel but is really a dried pepper will burn the inside of my mouth. At least now I do!
There are many things you can point to and say, "that thing, that knowledge, that reality is something I believe in." My friend Dean Sweetman said once that, "...it is easy to believe that which we can see. But it is difficult to believe in that which requires faith to envision." So what about a cure for that which we deem uncurable? Can you believe in the goodness of others. Maybe you've experienced the goodness in others and therefore believe in it.
Through my life I've seen things happen that were hard to imagine years ago. This type of thing isn't new and unique to me as others older and younger then I am have seen the same things. Think back 20 or 30 years ago, who would have thought the Berlin Wall coming down. There were of course those that had a vision that it would happen. What about the planet Mars landscape becoming a parking lot for exploratory vehicles.
If your answer is yes, you believe in something, real or envisioned, then you can believe in yourself to achieve your own visions. You can have the strength to do the seemingly impossible. Use the same amount of energy in believing in yourself that you give to believing in all of these other things. Your success depends upon believing in oneself.
“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” - Gail Devers

I'm realizing that most of what I believe in - is invisible to me - so I work on asking myself, "why am I doing this?" So that I will begin to be more clear about what I am believing. And often I find that I don't agree with these beliefs any more. And it's time for an update! Often we believe what we believe until we realize it.
