Brian Tracy explains how to identify your limiting step, the one constraint holding you back most. Build confidence by taking responsibility, improving yourself daily, and setting goals with deadlines. More confidence means more attempts, which raises your odds of success.
Setting goals and Building Self Confidence through Personal Development Every great success is an accumulation of thousands of ordinary efforts that no one sees or appreciates. Brian Tracy One of the most valuable exercises you can engage in when setting goals is to ask yourself, what is my limiting step? What is the one factor that determines the speed at which I achieve my goal or whether I achieve it at all? Your ability to identify your limiting step step is one of the best demonstrations of your intelligence and a step towards building your self confidence. Your capability to eliminate this limiting step is one of the best demonstrations of your overall competence in achieving anything you want. In studying everything that has been written or said about personal development and success, the conclusion Brian came to was that your level of self confidence is probably the critical factor in everything you accomplish. When you have enough self confidence, you will try almost anything. Because success is largely a matter of averages or probabilities, the more things you try, the more likely it is that you will achieve greatly. The same is true for you. By setting goals, trying more things, engaging in more activities, and exploring more opportunities, your probabilities of success increase dramatically. The only real limiting step that you might have is your level of self confidence. When you reach the point at which you believe in yourself absolutely, the barriers that exist in your external world will not stop you. The major obstacles to success always lie within the mind of the individual. They are not contained in external circumstances, situations, or people. By building self confidence, you win the inner battle. The outer battle seems to take care of itself. Here are three important ideas for building self confidence. First, accept complete responsibility for yourself and for everything that you will ever be. Second, accept that you can change your situation only by going to work on yourself and learning the things you need to know to be better. Third, setting goals with timelines for the things you want and then work every day towards bringing those goals into reality. Our natural tendency is to work hard until we find a method or technique that works for us, whether in life, work or relationships. And then, for some perverse reason, we promptly abandon the technique and go back to behaving in our old way in a random and haphazard manner. A Mental A mental exercise program for personal development, like setting goals and positive thinking, is very much a physical exercise program. If you expect it to really work for you, you have to practice it persistently every day and keep at it indefinitely. When Brian began to apply these proven success principles to his life and worked on them every day, he was able to bring about almost miraculous changes in every area of life. Every successful man or woman has come to pretty much the same conclusion. By every measure, you have more talent and ability than you could use in 100 lifetimes. You too can step on the accelerator of your own potential and begin moving forward at a speed that will amaze you by setting goals. Many people who have listened to Brian's programs or gone through his seminars have come back and told him that they cannot believe how fast their lives begin to improve by setting goals on a daily basis. Now, we'd love to hear from you. So our question today is what is limiting you from building self confidence? Leave a comment below and we'll be sure to follow up with you.
