Perception is the spectacles with which you see yourself .

In essence you will project onto others what you see in yourself,

If you see yourself as a failure, so will others

If you see yourself as a nobody so will others.

On the other hand if you see a Leader, a success, a good friend, a dependable person only then will other people see these qualities in you.

Your Big Hairy Audacious Goal

• Be not afraid only believe. Mark 5:36

• There is no substitute to self belief in the building of confidence and ultimately in the achievement of significance in life.

Where does your self belief come from

• Your Experiences• What people say about you (

outside programming)• What you say about yourself

(Internal programming

YOUR EXPERIENCES• Every experience you have been

through in life has been deposited forever in your subconscious mind.

• If you’ve failed in the past you could adopt a belief that you are a failure

• However those who live to their potential have learned to turn every negative experience into learning points

• If you want to increase your chances of success, double your rates of failure

Thomas Watson founder of IBM

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

we really can’t decide what people will say about us, but we can decide if we will believe it or not.

What people say about us is their opinion of us not the Truth of who we are

.

What you say about yourself

• From the Fullness of a mans heart the mouth speaks

• As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Jesus
