Decide what you want... Believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, and believe it’s possible for you.

~ Rhonda Byrne

The various emotions that you experience are established based on specific beliefs and perceptions that you have established at some point in your life. Let me clarify it by an example. There is a very famous quote by Henry Ford

“If you think you can, you are right, If you think you can not, you are right”

Suppose your boss approaches you and ask you to do a task. Most of the time they don’t even ask you whether you can do it or not. Anyway the first thought most likely to hit you with the job in hand would be

Can I do it?

Can you identify with this situation? If your first thought is that you can, then most of time job is done. What if your first thought is, you cannot, then the chances of job getting done goes down. NOW, I want to change the quote

“If you feel you can, you are right, If you feel you can not, you are right"

I have only replaced the word “think” with “feel” (emotion). What happens, when you strongly feel that you can do it. Don’t you become emotionally charged, more energetic, motivated to achieve the task. I am arguing the same point that emotional force is more powerful then thought power. Is there anything more powerful then emotional force? Let’s change the quote once again

“If you believe that you can, you are right, if you believe you can not, you are right”

Needless to explain that, when you have strong belief then job would be done. There is no second option. What exactly do I mean by that? Regardless of WHAT you may believe in, whether it be that you CAN or CAN'T accomplish something, whatever that something may be, an outcome is ALWAYS, 100% of the time, experienced based on the belief that you hold regarding its outcome.
