Do you believe in your career?

Most people refer to belief as something that is applicable to and relevant to people who are up-and-coming and prosperous. If you question these effective people about what contributed to their prosperity and success, they would perhaps attribute them to an upbeat outlook and optimistic assertions. On the other hand, people who wrestle their way through or grapple hard with things in their life would ascribe such success of others to aspects like fortune and their own tussles to ill luck. 

The fact is that there is great truth in assertions of successful people when they accredit their achievements and accomplishments to positive thinking and optimistic affirmations; indeed this is all the more valid when such avowals are made repeatedly. In point of fact, it is the repetition of claims that helps them to turn into actuality.  Perhaps being popular and prosperous is an unpretentious and candid issue. You first suppose and trust; and then you accomplish. If this be so, don’t you think that this is worth emulating?

An environment that transmits pessimism and unconstructiveness poses intense tests and trials to ruminate confidently. But in case you do not think positively, you will not achieve your objectives. A deleterious approach will serve to stop you from moving forward, besides creating doubts in your mind about your potential and capabilities. You can alter your mindset, if you so desire. The reverse of negative thinking is always positive thinking and hence, if you set your sights on your career objectives – something that you genuinely want accomplished – you will have to alter your outlook and mindset.

The question therefore, is how do you suppose and trust yourself? Here are three unpretentious actions that you must indulge in:

·         Elect to do so:  You must think that believing in your objectives is inescapable and that such convictions will be fruitful. If you do not, you will neither attain your objectives nor will they be rewarding. Sans any belief, your career will be devoid of all thrill and enchantment. If you seek to be enthusiastic, inspired and ardent about your career, your belief has to be central to such desire. If you harbour credence and trust, you will feel lightheaded and be assured that everything will transpire. You get impelled to move forward and have something to yearn for. It is your conviction that induces you to go to work and also drives you to refocus and progress in a commanding manner.

·         Voice your career objectives:  In a sharp contrast to mental thinking, when you do loud thinking, the subject of your thoughts tends to be tangible. But most people are apprehensive to speak their objectives out loud, largely because they are uncertain of the end-results. No career comes with a security or warranty of success. You may have a gut feeling that things are satisfactory and moving in the correct direction; and then you pursue them with all the power at your command. Usually, if things appear correct, they indeed are correct. In the light of all this, you must be vociferous in talking about your objectives; doing so will be a satiating experience. Keeping a record of what you speak will be a step in the right direction, but you simply cannot evade talking loud about them. 

·         Accomplish your objectives:  If you display steadfastness and commitment in your efforts, there is no doubt that you will attain them. And if you waver, your objectives will always be a pipedream. The essence is that you should believe that your objectives are achievable and having spoken about them loudly, you are all set to get down to work. Take one step followed by another; and carry on till you arrive at your journey's end which is your purpose. Does this appear to be an effortless affair? Undoubtedly, yes; but is there anything wrong if things are humble, uncomplicated or down-to-earth?

Remember that to dream by night is to escape your life and to dream by day is to make it happen. It is only when you associate yourself with the silence within you that you will be able to get a hang of the troubles prevailing around you. Success will be within your reach only when you start reaching out for it.  You have to have belief if you intend chasing your dreams; if you do not have it in you, you will not be able to trail it; in other words, you will have to give up on your coveting.
