There are times in our lives when we
may find ourselves facing challenges that can seem overwhelming. The
situation or task we are struggling with seems hopeless, and it is easy
to stop believing in ourselves, our goals, and our dreams. It is during
these moments that it can be reassuring and reaffirming to turn to the
people in our lives who do believe in us. An encouraging word, a
reassuring look, or hearing the words “I believe in you” from someone who
matters can help us turn our situations around in an instant.
Everybody has someone who believes in
them, whether this person is a teacher, parent, friend, loved one, or an
employer. Often their belief can wrap us in warmth, bolster us, and offer
us a supportive hand to grab onto until we can regain our own support.
Having that special person who believes in our abilities and our worth is
a wonderful gift. But when we are feeling unworthy, it may be difficult
to take in something so precious. We may even feel like we need to do it
all on our own and that we shouldn’t be asking for help. However, in
letting their belief and support impact you, you are acknowledging the
part of yourself that knows you are worthy of trust and esteem. By
allowing them to believe in you, your own belief in yourself and your
abilities will start to emerge again. Borrow their vision, and you can
make it your own.
If your special someone is not there to
spur you on, you also can lift yourself up with the gift of a positive
image. When you feel uncertain, you can create a vision of the future you
desire that will serve as a beacon of light. To do so, simply imagine a
future that is exactly as you’d like it to be. Imagine in detail how you
feel, what you are doing, and how others are responding to you. Make your
vision as real as possible, and allow your doubts to recede, so you can
focus solely on the goal you seek. The more intently you focus on the
image of what you want, the more your belief in yourself will step to the
forefront, making it easier for the universe to open up a path and guide
you.
