(upbeat music) - Hello, and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast, but we will discuss topics, ideas, questions and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Ann Baccract. Today we're going to talk about how strong is your belief? Is the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are? What you believe about the world at large and how you fit into the general scheme of things will determine who you are and how you relate to the world you live in. Imagine for a moment, little eight-year-old Sarah spinning around in front of the mirror and the new pink dress her mom has just bought her. Excitedly, she rushes into the show her dad. Daddy, do you like my new party dress? She asks breathlessly. "Sweetheart, you look like a beautiful princess," replies her father. That defining moment in Sarah's life will stay with her forever. With careful nurturing, Sarah will always be able to look in the mirror and see herself as a beautiful woman. On the other hand, let's look at the new recruit, Tom, who is submitting his weekly sales report to his boss. Tom, these figures are appalling. What are you doing? Are you some kind of moron? Tom returns to his desk, totally deflated. His boss has just reinforced the inner voice in Tom's head that constantly tells him he's hopeless. He's a failure, who'll never amount to anything. He's heard that same voice his whole life. What we believe about ourselves is encapsulated in the voice we hear in our head. And what that voice tells us is so powerful, it will manifest itself in every action we take, every word we say, every thought that we think. We are who we believe ourselves to be. How do we change that record playing? Well, although the sayings have been done to death, the only way to change the record that spins around and around in your head, filling you with some negativity or self doubt and shame, is to learn to believe in yourself. Sure, it's easier said than done. And yes, it is easy to say, believe in yourself. But who said life was easy anyway? Anything worth doing requires determination or self-disciplined and maybe even some struggle. Taking the easy route will not land you on easy street. What is required is a new record to play over and over in your head. Something a little more upbeat with inspiring lyrics, a great melody and above all, a little soul. The great secret to manifesting anything in your life is to reprogram that file in your head that says, you can't have it or you can't do it or you can't be that. Nobody else but you has access to that turntable, and I'm speaking sometimes, sometimes people don't even know what a turntable is, but that record playing in your head. And only you have that power to change that recording. Slice away that cycle babble in cliches, the heartfelt fables and cheesy quotations and what remains is the simple, elegant truth. You are who you believe yourself to be. So what if your mom said that you'd never amount to anything? Who cares if the school jock made you feel like a jerk? What you have to remember is that no matter what people have said about you in the past, no matter how much you respected them or how much authority they carry, they were merely people just like you and me. People with positive and negative human traits, people who sometimes feel insecure, lost or troubled or even alone, just like any of us at any given moment in time. And even more importantly, whatever has happened in your life to make you doubt yourself is not the truth. Sure, your self-talk may have taken it on board and made you believe it's the truth. When in fact, it's only their opinion or an expression of how they feel. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." So ask yourself, who do you give consent to in your life to destroy your sense of self-worth? And that includes you. Here's some action steps that you might wanna consider taking and use these guidelines to change that old record playing. If you're familiar with the term record, the old if you wanna call it a micro disc or whatever you wanna call it in your head that goes around and around and replace it with the melody you can play for the rest of your life. Number one, give yourself unconditional love. You deserve it. Number two, challenge yourself to be better than even you believe possible. Number three, focus on your strengths and work to eliminate or alter your weaknesses. Number four, believe you can become whoever you want to be. Number five, acknowledge that nobody has the power to make you feel inferior. Number six, determine to become a better human being every single day. Number seven, acknowledge your achievements and give yourself a silent pat on the back. Number eight, smile and remember that everybody has bad days. Number nine, embrace the person you are and the contribution you have made and will make to the world. Number 10, have faith in yourself and believe you can and do make a difference. To believe is to give meaning to life. To believe in yourself, harness all of your strengths, unlock your potential and create a world of endless possibilities for yourself.
