I really like the idea of thinking positive and having positive beliefs. I used to be a very negative person and had alot of bad thought patterns. Now I try to put a positive spin on everything even when things appear really bad. I actually owe it partly to this website for changing that. Thanks Steve!

There is a positive belief that I have that has given me alot of confidence and hope for the future. It has helped me with some things and gives me alot of motivation.

I believe, with enough time and effort, anything can be done, whether it is mental or physical. Time + Effort = Results. All other factors are meaningless. This kinda sounds simple but i had to learn it, there was alot of things I thought I couldn't do or achieve when I was younger, I had a really can't do attitude and it effected my education in school. I think alot of people have this attitude which is wrong! This kind of reminds me of the two prison films ‘escape from Alcatraz’ and ‘the shawshank redemption’ and how the main characters escape. It takes them alot of time (something they have plenty of) and a little effort every day but they eventually break free. I always think about this whenever I want to achieve something these days and it's helping alot with my personal development.

Anyway, I'd like to know what positive beliefs some people here have and how do they help you?
