Summary: <p>Listen to episode 142 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Building Self-Confidence: Change Your Limiting Beliefs. Adapted from “Success Through Thought Habit” by Benjamin Johnson.</p><br> <p><strong>Motivational Podcast Excerpt</strong>: <em>Have confidence in yourself. Believe in your ability to do big things. Only by having faith in yourself, can you compel others to have faith in you. Think big thoughts and back them up with big deeds. You can, if you will. And you will. </em></p><br> <p><em>Many a little seed has longed to develop and send a little shoot up toward the sunshine. But growth has always been delayed until suddenly the outer wall that limited its growth is burst apart! Many lives are in the same condition: the wall of thought that limits them must be burst before real growth can occur. </em></p><br> <p><em>The one great infallible rule to be learned when you desire to think constructively, is that the conditions you desire will exist for you in just the proportion that you are capable of developing your own natural powers. If you persist in drawing a line of demarcation between yourself and that which you desire, or if you feel that a certain person is responsible for what you are to obtain, or that a certain condition dependent on other people is necessary for your development, then just so long will you be kept from making the progress that you should. </em></p><br> <p><em>To say feebly, "Yes, indeed, I was full of enthusiasm when I started in the work, but one thing after another went wrong until I just thought I would stop trying and get out while I could," shows that your backbone has never been developed at all; otherwise every obstacle would have spurred you on to greater effort.</em></p><br> <p><strong>Related Motivational Podcasts:</strong></p><br> <p><a title="Building Your Self-Confidence" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/how-to-be-self-confident-self-development/">How to Be Self-Confident</a></p><br> <p><a title="Conquering Fear" href="http://podcast.livinghour.org/e/how-to-be-bold-free-courageous-conquering-fear/">How to Be Bold, Free & Courageous</a></p>
