To Believe or Not To Believe

Self-trust is the first secret of success.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Of the many secrets of success, self-trust is principal. Without self-trust, the other secrets become useless. Self-trust is the absolute belief that you can accomplish a particular goal. Absolute belief causes you to act boldly, molding your environment to your liking.

The following New Testament story makes this point. One day, Jesus' disciples were boating. Suddenly, the disciples saw a human figure walking on the water to them. Initially, they thought the figure was a ghost and panicked; but realizing the figure was Jesus, they were relieved but awestruck. Then Jesus commanded one of his disciples, Peter, to leave the boat and walk to him. Absolutely believing that he could walk on water, Peter walked on water to Jesus. Indeed, Peter was doing the impossible, until he began doubting his ability to walk on water. Doubting, he quickly sank in the deep water (Matthew 14:22-36).

Whether you think this story is fact or fiction, it reveals a universal principle. Believing, you rise; doubting, you fall.
