“It’s amazing how far you are willing to go when someone believes in you.” ~ Katie Kacvinsky

If you are a person of influence—and to be clear, you are ALL persons of influence—you need to take this quote to heart right now. Your influence might be to a colleague or co-worker, or it might be to a child or grandchild, OR it might be to a perfect stranger. We all have the capacity to believe in someone else and lift them up.

Right now, ask yourself where you are feeling insecure and doubtful about yourself or your ability to do something. Do you have the doubt in mind? Great, now imagine someone of your choice walking up to you right now and telling you they have ZERO DOUBT about you and your ability to do or be this thing. Who was it? Was it your boss or your mom or dad or was it someone famous?

The truth is we all have moments of doubt and there is never a time when someone shares their belief in us that we wish they hadn’t. Right? EVERYONE could use a little “Belief Boost.” I can’t make it happen for you, but I can encourage all of us to impart some belief on those around us. The easiest one is to reach out to someone who you know for sure could use some extra belief, and definitely do that. BUT, it’s also important to impart some belief on those that look as though they don’t need it because everyone needs it! No one has ever said, “Please don’t tell me anything positive or amazing about myself, I already have enough belief in me.” So, give it a whirl!

Let’s GO! WE GOT THIS!
