What You Believe At Your Worst Moment Is What You Really Believe

What you believe at your worst moment is what you really believe.

When our lives are successful and we are doing well, then our beliefs appear as solid as bedrock. But when life derails us and wealth, family and reputation are stripped away, after our certainties fade too.

When a winning streak collapses, what do you believe then? Do you still believe the positive things that you once believed? You should, because at your worst moment beliefs are most powerful. In the depths of hopelessness it is the things we believe that really kick in and begin to make a difference.

In your worst moments, what do you believe about your life? What do you believe about your faith? What do you believe about yourself? When you marriage begins to fall apart, do you believe that you are still someone of fundamental value, who can be loved and who has the capacity to love? Do you still believe that you are someone worthy of friendship, even when supposed friends have abandoned you? What do you believe when people say negative things about you? Do you believe all the negative stuff or do you believe the positive? What you believe about yourself in your worst moment is what you really believe.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

Challenge yourself:

What do you believe about yourself today? Do you believe the good things? The good things in your life are set, they are great, they are amazing, and everybody knows them. Everything in life are recoverable. Your looses are recoverable. Your friends are recoverable. You marriage is recoverable.  Finances are recoverable. Don’t give in at the worst moment. You will miss the light at the end of the tunnel if you jump off the train halfway through.

“Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing.”
