Kung Fu Panda. Wasn’t the Master Shifu innovative. The way he trained Po to be Dragon warrior was pure innovation. But he couldn’t give him the self belief. Po needed a dragon scroll for that. The secret ingredient. But that was movie. How you would find THAT scroll – that will make you believe in yourself.
How to have faith in yourself?
The key to self belief is honesty. It you make honest efforts, you will get the faith that you did your best. Make this a habit and it will instill your faith in yourself. Then even if you fail, it won’t hurt. And as side-effect you loose regrets.
Self belief guides you too. The habits of innovative people are isolated traits. They come from each other. One habit imbibes the other. Self Belief helps you gauge you abilities and you become a calculated risk taker. Persevering with honest efforts leads to self belief. So we can find a cause and effect between their habits.
This also makes imbibing these habits difficult. You can’t just try to develop few of them. They are inter-related. You need to take-all to accomplish them. The more you will give it a serious thought, easier will become the need and tougher it will get to develop them ( as you realize its not going to be easy). But its not the easy road you are choosing. Are you?
