Did you ever want to be really good at something and then, one day, you realized that you had become really good at it?

I’m sure you have. Deep down inside you knew that you had become a master of the skill. You had no doubt that you’d achieved expert status. No one could ever convince you that you weren’t among the best at whatever particular skill you’d struggled with and finally mastered.

But how did you know? What was different today than yesterday when you didn’t consider yourself among the best?

I’m sure you know what I mean. You don’t know exactly how you know, you just know it. You’ve got that inner “winning” feeling. At last, you’ve arrived!

It doesn’t matter whether the feeling was over learning to drive, ride a bicycle, play a sport or what it was. It’s just important to remember that feeling. It’s the feeling you are looking for in your climb toward your goals. It’s called healthy self-esteem. It’s the belief that , though you are not perfect, you are good at what you do.

The reason I tent to go on and on about this is, most people don’t have a healthy self-esteem. Most people tend to think they aren’t as good as, smart as, likable as, etc. If you’re feeling that way, I have some great news for you!

We’re all potentially geniuses. We all have much more mind power than we’ll ever use it’s staggering. It’s been proven that, unless you have a serious mental illness or deficiency you have genius capability. All you have to do is learn to use it. - How?

All you have to do is recognize your ability to learn, and to improve. You have to know you’re capable. You have to have that winning feeling.

History is full of people who were thought to be dumb, but who went on to become wealthy and famous because they didn’t listen to what others said about them. They just knew what they were capable of and went and did it!

Thomas Edison was considered ineducable by his primary school teacher and sent home. Henry Ford had very little schooling and was, at one point taken to court to be proven an idiot. Bill Gates dropped out of college (OK, maybe that’s different).

My point is, anything you desire to to or to be you can if you believe you can. It may take you more practice or more training than someone else but, if you make a firm commitment to doing whatever it is and stick to it long enough, you’ll do it.

Your mind is a funny thing. It won’t let you develop a desire to do or be something you are not capable of. True, you may wish you could fly (without an aircraft) but you’ll never have a burning desire to do it because you know it just isn’t possible.

Go ahead and prove me wrong. Everybody knew the Wright Brothers were crazy, that flight was impossible but they didn’t listen. They just went ahead and figured out how to do it. Do you think you would have ever heard of them if they believed that the crowd was right, that what they were trying to do was impossible?

That winning feeling I’m talking about comes from having high self-esteem. I’m not talking about being egotistical or pompous. I’m just talking about having that inner feeling that you can do what you set out to do. that you’re as good as anyone else, and that the only opinion of yourself that matters is your own.

As children almost all of us are told that we can’t do this or that or that we’re bashful or not good at ___. If we believe whoever told us that we’re sure to prove them right. That’s the way the subconscious mind works. It takes the information that’s been fed into it and goes about making it true. In other words, if your subconscious is programmed to believe you’ll never be rich, you won’t. Even is you get lucky and win the Lotto or something, you’ll soon lose the money.

That’s been proven over and over. something like ninety percent of all big LOTTO winners are as broke or more broke within five years after winning than they were before. Why? Because their subconscious sees them as “poor people” and won’t let them be otherwise.

The reason I’m going to such lengths about this is to make certain you understand that, in order to do be or have anything your subconscious mind must believe that you’re capable of and worthy of it.
