We fail more in our imagination than we fail for real. When we do that, we stop ourselves from trying at all.
I am convinced that is the mindset that each of us must overcome if we even want to give ourselves a chance at being successful at anything we do. Whether it’s your sports game, your job search, your dream of owning your own business, or taking on a challenging new hobby.
The first step is to believe you can do it. Without self-belief, you doom yourself to almost certain failure.
