Believing: that powerful mental and emotional state where we fully trust and have confidence in something. Sounds simple enough, right? Tap into the belief that what you desire, what you long for, is on its way to you – as if it's a beacon drawing those desires in.

Often, we trap ourselves in the belief that our dreams and wishes are unattainable, residing in some distant realm far beyond our current reality. We unknowingly put up barriers, creating a blockage in the direct pathway our dreams need to travel to get to us. These barriers could be immensely self-inflicted in the form of negative thoughts, self-doubt or could originate from non-believers around us. Yes, those that casually whisper, “That's a pipe-dream, you'll never reach it.”

But today, let's lay those doubts to rest. Today, we remember the profound words of Arthur Ashe, the legendary tennis player who once said, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” In essence, what this means is that you don't have to be “ready”, you just have to begin. Start by erasing those barriers, those doubts that hinder your dreams.

I once shared these insights in an LMA course I taught, encouraging others to stand tall, ignoring any voices that tell them otherwise. It was the same wisdom that I had grasped as I journeyed from a troubled childhood to founding Success Insider. It was my belief in a brighter future that pushed me forward, even when the path was foggy.

Believing opens a door that was always there, merely waiting for you to turn the handle. It soundlessly beckons, “Come, step onto the path defined by your deepest desires, your most cherished dreams.” It’s not just some fanciful idea; psychology supports this. What you believe in deeply, you subconsciously work towards – a phenomenon known as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Consider this – have you ever wanted something so badly, something material perhaps like a new car, and suddenly began seeing that car everywhere? It's not by coincidence. It's your brain’s interesting mechanism called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). This RAS helps filter into our conscious mind what we're focused on — what you believe in, what you desire.

So, the question drops back to you. What do you believe in deeply? What do you want to see more? Is there a dream you’re willing to bet your all on? If you could choose, wouldn’t you want to direct that powerful beacon towards what you truly long for?

And no, it’s not solely about material objects or status. The belief pathway could lead you to a different version of yourself — perhaps a braver, healthier you. It could steer you toward stronger relationships, a more fulfilling career, or deeper self-love. The limitless magic of believing waits for you.

Unfolding the magic doesn’t require leaps and bounds, just tiny, consistent steps. Start by reconnecting with yourself, like a dear friend not seen in a while. Pen down honest answers to self-reflecting questions like “What do I wish for myself?” and “Do I truly believe I can have it?” Your honesty, here, paves the stepping-stones on your pathway to belief.

Remember, believing is not ignoring challenges, it's the willingness to push past them repeatedly, even amidst setbacks. It's resilience. It’s the realization that failure isn't the end, but perhaps a guiding light steering you to your wishes. It's knowing that every experience, every pain, every discomfort, every setback, is part of the journey, not a deterrent.

Embrace the possibility that everything you wish will come to you eventually. Stand tall against the whispers of doubts. Trust the journey, no matter how winding or steep. Remember your dreams are worth the hike.

Realize that you are deserving, possessing an innate capacity worthy of your wildest dreams. And until you understand and embrace that truth, those dreams will feel untouchable.

The pathway beckons. Let your belief illuminate the way. Say goodbye to doubts and allow every step you take to bring your wishes closer to you. Because believing is not just a concept, it's an awakened state of living, where you and your dreams tread the same path. The pathway to believing is open. The question is, are you ready to walk it?
