Do you believe in yourself?
When it comes to the word “believe,” it is small enough to relate to the small things in daily life, big enough to relate to the dream of life, achievement of fame and some other specific big events.
The word “believe” is also a way for a person to encourage themselves before doing something.
Because when a person is doing something, especially when the thing is difficult and challenging, before making any choices, encouragement from others, will virtually increase a person's self-confidence and the courage and motivation to do things.

Like in daily life, for a toddler who has just learned to walk, when he hasn’t formally taken the first step, the first time he walked, most of the children will inevitably have fear, so how to help the children summon the courage to take the first step in life? At this moments, the parents will encourage the child: "Come on, you can do it!! Mommy and daddy believe you can do it.”
When the child heard the adults encouragement and affirmation, his first reaction is: Mom and dad said I could do it, then I certainly can do it, I can do it, he began to try to take the first step, the second step until he really learns to walk.
The word “believe” no only applies to the child, the same applies to the husband and wife, family members, between colleagues, between superior and subordinate.
Today, in this post, "Believe" specifically means, before a person doing something or achieving the goal of life, encouragement from oneself is a must, of course, I also think that encouragement from all relations is important, but the self-encouragement before doing something is the most important.

Lately, I've been learning and growing on Steemit; I found that almost everyone on Steemit, are clear about their daily plans and even their life goals, and everyone is willing to believe that they will be able to complete their own daily plan and even the ultimate life goal. So the entire Steemit and everyone on the platform is a good example for me to be full of positive energy and keep learning.
Before I joined Steemit, like most of the office worker, including myself, will agree that a full-time office job is more than enough.
In this materialistic world, for most of the office workers, if they have a stable income, is the best thing.
But, most of the office workers including myself, in the process of working 9 to 5, trying to do some changes and action, we will find that as an office worker, if we want to have a side income, is a difficult thing to do.
And when a person begins to doubt what he or she is doing, do we still have the confidence to do what we are doing in front of us?
When we first drove to a certain place, what would we do if we didn't know the way? Are we going to stop the car to ask passers-by, or do we choose to install navigation to guide our way forward?
The answer will be installing navigation, because if we stop to ask passers-by, not only delay the time, there may be some passers-by, will give us the wrong direction.
And if we choose navigation, we will not only save our time but also give us correct guidance.

Life and driving are the same, when we are going to the end of the time, when we walk halfway or two-thirds of the road, sometimes, when we are tired, still didn’t see any results.
We will stop and ask ourselves, is this the right path for us to choose? Maybe sometimes we will answer ourselves: It might be right, might be wrong, sometimes we will continue to grit our teeth and move forward, but because human nature has a weakness, perhaps most people, when started to pause, doubt and think, in fact, is a start to give up.
So when we are on the road to success in life, if we also have a platform like a car navigation or a mentor, then we are on the road to success, we will not get lost, and ultimately to success.
The same road, someone dares to walk, some not dare to walk. Walk or not, is the problem of people, not the road problem. The same goes to life, can we live the life we want with our efforts? Are we believe that we are willing to put efforts, willing to make changes, to live our life?

Before doing anything, "believe in yourself" is particularly important, because before doing something, if we do not believe ourselves, then our chances of success have shrunk by half.
Therefore, if the desire to succeed is not strong, we will not endure hardship, no self-discipline, then even we have a good mentor, it will not have much effect on us.
Of course, on the road of life, we are still a loser, doomed to be a mediocre for a lifetime, not able to live the life we want.
So when we want to change our life state and destiny through our efforts, the first thing we have to do is to find a person who is close to us and has the same interests and the same dream.
Then we followed behind him, copy his path of success, believing that as long as we believe that we can do it, and we are willing to give effort and action to prove ourselves, then I believe that we will be able to do it, and ultimately succeed, and therefore naturally lead to the life we want.

Before any success, everyone goes through the process of dreaming about a destiny to fulfill. With the dream, we start to believe and keep working toward it. It is very true that without believing, putting the required effort, we may never realise our dream that can come true one day.
