One of the most powerful concepts, one which is a sure cure
for lack of confidence, is the thought that God is actually
with you and helping you. This is one of the simplest
teachings in religion, namely, that Almighty God will be
your companion, will stand by you, help you, and see you
through. No other idea is so powerful in developing self
confidence as this simple belief when practiced. To practice
it simply affirm "God is with me;
God is helping me;
God is guiding me."
Spend several minutes each day visualizing His
presence. Then practice believing
that affirmation. Go about
your business on the assumption
that what you have affirmed
and visualized is true.
Affirm it, visualize it, believe it, and it
will actualize itself.
The release of power which this
procedure stimulates will astonish you.
Emerson declared a tremendous truth, "They conquer who
believe they can." And he added, "Do the thing you fear and
the death of fear is certain." Practice confidence and faith
and your fears and insecurities will soon have no power over
you
The secret is to fill your mind with thoughts of faith,
confidence, and security. This will force out or expel all
thoughts of doubt, all lack of confidence.
Undertake this program and you, too, will build up
confidence in your powers. You, too, will have a new feeling
of power.
1. Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental
picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture
tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to
develop this picture. Never think of yourself as failing; never
doubt the reality of the mental image. That is most
dangerous, for the mind always tries to complete what it
pictures. So always picture "success" no matter how badly
things seem to be going at the moment.
2. Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal
powers comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought
to cancel it out.
3. Do not built up obstacles in your imagination. Depreciate
every so-called obstacle. Minimize them. Difficulties must
be studied and efficiently dealt with to be eliminated, but
they must be seen for only what they are. They must not be
inflated by fear thoughts.
4. Do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them.

Nobody can be you as efficiently as YOU can. Remember
also that most people, despite their confident appearance and
demeanor, are often as scared as you are and as doubtful of
themselves.
5. Ten times a day repeat these dynamic words, "If God be
for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) (Stop reading
and repeat them NOW slowly and confidently.)
6. Get a competent counselor to help you understand why
you do what you do. Learn the origin of your inferiority and
self-doubt feelings which often begin in childhood. Self-
knowledge leads to a cure.
7. Ten times each day practice the following affirmation,
repeating it out loud if possible. "I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13) Repeat
those words NOW. That magic statement is the most
powerful antidote on earth to inferiority thoughts.
8. Make a true estimate of your own ability, then raise it 10
percent. Do not become egotistical, but develop a wholesome
self-respect. Believe in your own God-released powers.
9. Put yourself in God's hands. To do that simply state, "I am
in God's hands." Then believe you are NOW receiving all the
power you need. "Feel" it flowing into you. Affirm that "the
kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21) in the form of
adequate power to meet life's demands.
10. Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can
defeat you. Believe that you now RECEIVE power from
him.
wishing you all the best ,as always. BE THE BEST.
