Believing in yourself is the most powerful practice you have to adopt in your life. As you journey through life you’ll meet people who tell you that you are not good enough to succeed. You will meet people who tell you that you don’t have the ability to succeed. You’ll definitely meet people who just do not believe in you or your capabilities.

Consider the story of Michael Jordan? Did you know that Michael Jordan was once cut from his high school basketball team? It would have been easy for Michael to feel sorry for himself; it would have been easy to stop believing in his ability. But, he did not! Michael did not listen to those who said he would fail or those who laughed at him. He simply continued believing in himself and did not quit until he had accomplished his goals. Today, many say that Michael Jordan is probably the greatest basketball player who ever played the game. This would have never happened had he given up and quit believing in himself when he was cut from his high school team?
