Belief
Is such a powerful thing. Belief needs to come from within. My beliefs are too influenced by what I hear other people say, not the conviction I have inside. I believe that I am good at running. Then I hear some armchair critic say to me "That's not running, you call that running?" or when someone imitates my running style as a shuffle, and my belief is deflated. When someone said "You have some talent as a photographer" it made me feel good, it made me believe. Then others say "they're not that good." and my belief is deflated.
My belief that I can run, that I am good at it, comes from a place of deep conviction. Over the last few years I have had these flashes of belief that have turned out to be true: I can beat knee pain, I can run again, I can run the City to Surf again, I can run a marathon- and I did. Those flashes of belief are so powerful. What if I could believe more? Right now I have flashes of belief, I can write a plant book, I can really do that. Or I might be able to sell some of my photos, I can really do that. Maybe I could renovate and sell my unit and live somewhere better near the bushland- I can really do that. That is when my mind starts working in my favour- when I start to believe from within, from a place of deep conviction.
