All the motivators and psychologists say you have to “believe in yourself”. That makes sense. But before you can believe in yourself, you have to believe yourself.

So many people are wimps when it comes to promises and commitment. They say they’ll do something, and they don’t. They promise they’ll help you and they do some other stuff. They promise they’ll pay their bills, and they leave the country! Then they wonder why their lives don’t work.

Only commit to something if you know you will follow through. If necessary, make fewer promises and fewer commitments, but whatever you say you’ll do it. Gradually your word becomes law for you – and that’s when you really believe in yourself.
