It's impossible to win if you don't believe you can.

Beliefs point in two directions: externally and internally.

External beliefs are what you believe about how things work, what's important, and how things should be. They are beliefs about the world outside of you.

Internal beliefs are what you believe about yourself, what you're capable of, and what's realistic for you. They are beliefs about the world inside of you.

When your external and internal beliefs merge, depending on what you believe about each, you end up somewhere on "The Spectrum of Self-Belief."

The basic spectrum most of us operate on looks like this:

  1. "Greatness is realistic for me."
  2. "Better things are realistic for me."
  3. "I have no idea what's possible for me."
  4. "Better things are not realistic for me."
  5. "Better things are impossible for me."

Where you are on The Spectrum of Self-Belief in a given context is a combination of your beliefs about the world and yourself.

This weekend, explore where you are on The Spectrum of Self-Belief in different areas of your life, like your important responsibilities and upcoming efforts. If you want to go a bit deeper, examine where you are on the spectrum for the things you say are priorities but haven't done and the dreams you envision but haven't acted on.

What beliefs about the world and yourself explain where you are on The Spectrum of Self-Belief?

The time is now. Do the work.
