Self belief is a very fragile part of man's psychology and it is usually the first target of success 'predators'. To be successful you have to guard this part of your psychology from;

1) PEOPLE
Keith Harrell the author of attitude is everything said that 'most times people tell is what we can't do because they don't see themselves doing it'. which is true. haven't you noticed that the people that try more to discourage you are the ones that have not done anything for themselves? and we allow what they say hypnotise us and we begin to follow their words blindly without checking our own lives. it was discovered that if a good hypnotic subject is told that he is in the north pole, he will not only shiver and appear to be cold, his body will react as if he were cold and goose pimple will develop. that's what most of us have become, the words of people concerning our abilities have totally hypnotised us.

2) COMPARISON
Maxwell Maltz author of the super informative book, psycho cybernetic said 'this feeling of inferiority comes about for just one reason: we judge and measure ourselves not by our own norm and par but by some other individual norm. when we do this, we always without exception, come out second best, we feel miserable and conclude there is something wrong with us. we are all special in a way and different in so many ways so the moment we begin to compare our lives with others we become miserable. a fish cannot judge itself by its ability to walk on land so instead it will focus on swimming, the moment it chooses to try to imitate the chicken it becomes miserable.

3) SELF DOUBT
William James said ' there's but one cause if human failure and that is lack of faith in his true self' doubt breeds fear and most often you won't do what fear. self doubt freezes your thinking mind and when your acts are not based thoughts, you will definitely fail. to kill self doubt, be bold.
