The most powerful force on earth is your power to believe. The most profound freedom on earth is your freedom to choose. If you choose to believe that the world is going to hell, then there is simply no point in trying. Since belief is a choice, why not believe in something that brings you joy? Why not believe that you have power over your addictions? Why not believe that you are fully capable? Why not believe that you have what it takes to create an extraordinary life, or that you are worthy of the affections of a quality human being?
Anything that you believe will be provable by the evidence that you find. The universe will gladly provide you with concrete reasons to support your beliefs. That’s why two people can be on polar opposites in this world, and swear by their own “truths.” If you believe in your fears, then when something fails the first time, the brain can say, “I told you so.” For those who believe in possibility, they understand that it just takes a bit more effort, patience, and diligence to see it through. It also takes a good bit of time, but the evidence will eventually show up.
You will find evidence of the miraculous. You will find evidence of your talent and greatness – but only if you believe in yourself. Remember that your beliefs are changeable, and they are programmable. Optimism takes work. The work of changing your beliefs into those that better serve you will be hard, but will be so worth the effort. Ponder that truth and start believing in something much more worthy of your time and effort. Believing in something that you’d like to find evidence of is what a good optimist does. They know that they will eventually find evidence of their desired outcome.
