Strengthen through belief.
Your ability to succeed is directly tied to your belief in yourself. Belief fuels hope and connects you to inspired ideas. And when you consciously strengthen your feelings of belief you’ll find it’s much easier to persevere and create what matters most to you.
Setting stretch goals often stirs up thoughts of past failures. You can really want to create positive changes and, at the same time, be so afraid to fail again that you end up feeling stuck. This push–pull dynamic drains your energy and kills your motivation.
To move out of this stuck state you have to first become aware that it exists. Then you can choose to shift your perspective and see the experiences you’ve called “failures” as opportunities to learn. Your ability to see the value in every experience naturally strengthens your belief and fuels positive feelings of optimism and enthusiasm. This is the mindset you need to move forward consistently.

Become aware of when you feel fear, doubt and resistance. Dig deep to see what’s at the root of it. Look for the insights and learn from each experience. Then apply what you’ve learned and move into action. Repeat often.
I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it
even though I may not have it at the beginning.”
–Mahatma Gandhi
