Ladies Be You: Live Up To Your Full Potential, Believe In Yourself And Go Through Life With Confidence

How do you fare in the face of adversity? Do you have the ability to overcome fears in order to achieve your ultimate goal or do you have a more defeatist attitude? Self-efficacy is the belief in your own abilities to adequately deal with challenges life throws your way. This plays a huge role in your feelings of self-worth and in measuring your ultimate success.
In any good story of adversity, the protagonist is an underdog – someone who’s encountering an obstacle in his path that seems entirely insurmountable. And in fact, upon initial attempts, he is unsuccessful at first. This represents a crossroads wherein our underdog could choose to give up, turn around, and find a new path, or he could choose to continue traveling forward despite the challenges. As with many people, he wants the self-satisfaction that he can gain by achieving the goal he has set for himself. So instead of giving up, he puts his nose to the grindstone, and tells himself, “I can do this! I am going to do this!!!” as he pushes himself to try harder. The positive reinforcing voice in his head gets louder and louder, until he truly believes what he’s saying. He may even fail a few more times, yet finally, he succeeds! He accomplishes his goal (whatever that may be), then he gets the girl (am I right?), and the movie ends in a passionate kiss and happily-ever-after.
Are you like this underdog protagonist in your own story? When you visualize your dreams and long-term goals, do you have the belief that they can become a reality? To believe this, you need to quiet the voices inside your head that try to hold you back. Each step you take towards your dream, no matter how big or small, brings you closer and closer. There will be setbacks; there always are. No one's life is perfect. Without your struggles, you would never learn what it means to surpass them to succeed. When your faith in yourself wavers, it is exactly when you need to push yourself even harder. Like our underdog protagonist, you too will encounter obstacles and challenges as you travel on your path. Some may appear to be small bumps in the road. Those are easier to maneuver. The larger struggles might seem like climbing a hill, one small step at a time. It is not too challenging, but some effort is required.

Then, you will encounter the mountain. And sometimes you will fail. You may lose an opportunity, but that does not mean all is lost. Do not let those moments break you down. You will learn a lot from these failures and they will be the lessons you remember the most. With your head held high and a “can-do” attitude, eventually you will get yourself to the other side. At the end of it all, you may be bruised and tired, but you will have the self satisfaction that you were able to persevere and make it through the tough times. Once you are over that huge hurdle, you might find yourself at the base of an even larger mountain and there may be more large hurdles in your way before reaching your goal. Now that you have the confidence that you can overcome them, you will be able to make it over those mountains faster and stronger than before.

This ebook is specifically designed to help you develop greater self efficacy, taking your ability to succeed to an entirely new level. If you’re ready to learn how, let’s get started!
