Who is your biggest support and cheerleader? Who believes in you, no matter what. Chances are that you came up with a name of a partner, friend, or relative - but really the name that should have been mentioned first is your own. *You* should believe in yourself more than anyone else. You should be aware of everything you are capable of and the first to congratulate and celebrate your accomplishment. Believing in yourself is something we often don't put a lot of thought and effort into, and yet it needs to be part of our bedrock. Part of what we build everything else up on. Today, we are going to reflect on this a little and talk about some tangible ways to build this tool. As a bonus we are also going to listen to a powerful story of someone whose self belief has helped them stay the course and create powerful opportunities in their life.
