Self-Manufactured Belief Compounds Over Time

"Self-belief is the foundation of success. This is an iron rule. Nobody ever became unreasonably successful without a strong belief in themselves."

"Self-belief is the courage to get going on your quest for unreasonable success. Self-belief means starting the journey, conjuring up the confidence that you will find your way to success, even if you don’t yet know the route or the destination."

"What makes it easier is that self-belief and Olympian expectations stem from the same four sources: •  Background •  Praise •  Self-manufactured belief •  Transforming experiences."

"Summary •  Define a goal to incubate self-belief. •  Experiment to generate experiences of success. •  Listen to self-doubt. •  Keep dreaming and learning."
