Believe in Yourself in 2016

I was taught at an early age to believe in yourself and everything you do. This has been my motto
in life. I say to people that if you believe in it be willing to stand up for it and go after it.This can apply to various aspects of your life be it your job, relationship or hobby. I ran across a book years ago that still impacts my thinking. It is "The Power of  Positive Thinking " by  Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Printed on the back cover is the response Dr. Peale gave when he was asked why he wrote the book. Dr. Norman Peale said " The book was written with the sole purpose of helping the reader achieve a happy, satisfying and worthwhile life". The very first chapter is titled Believe Yourself, in it  Dr. Peale gives some inspiration and best of all he simply tells the reader to do a daily affirmation using these scriptures  ( Romans  8:31 ) "If God is for us ,who can be against us ? "and my all time favorite ( Philippians 4: 13 ) I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me, so in 2016 Believe in yourself and believe that you can do all things with Christ giving you strength.

 Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.
