The Power of Belief!!

 The Power of BELIEF

 

 

It's been about roughly seven months since I last visited my favorite spot,

I was there today, where I spent some time relaxing with a cup of coffee, feeling the breeze, and admiring the sunset. While appreciating the serenity and reflecting on myself, I realized that it has been a while since I've blogged.

I guess,I just needed a break. After a long time, I'm thrilled and eager to write anything again. I rush down the stairs and head straight to my desk.

 

As I sit down to write this blog, my mind races back to all the moments when I stumbled upon, where I felt doomed, there is a vivid picture of all the scenes flowing in my mind, like mom saying- Pooja , Jo liya hain poora karo, (Just finish, whatever you start), Friends asking me about my whereabouts, Someone asking me if I am still preparing, Someone saying how long will you take to finish the course, just do it, you will do it, etc, etc...

 

While writing this, I am constantly smiling, thinking of the moment when...A smile spread uncontrollably across my lips as I swayed gently on my feet, absorbing the precious moment. All the late-night, early-morning study sessions, the sacrifices made to prepare for this exam—all led to this one, glorious confirmation. The sheet of printout in my hand - It was a milestone, evidence of perseverance and determination.  

 

As I swayed to the unseen rhythm, I silently thanked every individual who had supported me along the way, knowing that this moment was as much theirs as it was mine.

 

So.. Belief- What comes to your mind, when I say this? Don’t you think very few say this?

 Believing in someone is often easier said than done. It requires the willingness to trust despite of all the uncertainties.

I never fully understood the depth of this until I recently cracked one of the exams.

It was a moment that not just tested my capacity but also the trust and belief that my dear ones had in me.

It is a known fact that no one is always 100% confident!! Of course, I am not confident about myself sometimes. Gosh, I am not at all confident ..most of the time!! My periods are delayed whenever I doubt myself, and I think I’m not worthy, not smart enough, or not good enough. And that’s okay, totally okay NOT to feel amazing all the time.

The time when you have lost your self-confidence and where you doubt yourself, and your capabilities, this is where someone else believing in you does the MAGIC!!

 

I can give you many examples – Like, the children experiencing the encouragement that comes with their parents believing in them, 

Leaders who trust their teams are able to delegate more effectively, and That feeling of knowing your spouse trusts you and believes in you and will see you through all those hard times life will bring your way.  

 

There's a really good story my brother keeps telling me about how Dad believed in him and how things changed after that.

 

Pooja, jo shuru kiya hain,usey poora karo (Just finish, whatever you start) You can do it!! 

This was something my mom would stress to me whenever I was Procrastinating during the exam preparation.

She had more faith in me than I had in myself. Every time she said this to me, there was an air of positivity.  I am sure you would have come across many instances like this, at least once.

 

It’s just one of the examples that I am sharing here. Well, I am grateful enough for having positive people around me who always encouraged me.

 

When someone says I believe in you – that’s the most beautiful gift you can ever receive.

 

Your confidence increases, you work harder and correct yourself, you become braver, and start aiming higher. And when someone is specific about why they believe in you, it can often make you more aware of and more confident in your strengths.

 

When we recognize that someone is trusting us, we don’t want to do anything that would damage that trust as we realize how valuable a gift it is.

 

For me, It knocks down the barriers I've built myself (by saying it’s impossible, I have no time to do it, I have other commitments), giving me a clear path to reach my goals.

 

 

I think that Trust is not just about the other person, but also you trusting someone or giving hope reflects your own ability to listen and understand. So, choosing hope over uncertainty- is the key. When reflecting on your own beliefs and trust, consider that each act of faith has the opportunity for potential growth and development.

 

So here is the Conclusion - The powerful gift you can give someone is to believe in them. 

Never underestimate the impact you can have on somebody’s life by believing in them and helping them to believe in themselves. Take it from me who has experienced the miracle of this – it will change their world 🙂
