BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

“Believe In Yourself is a self-help book about self-esteem and confidence. It’s packed with highly motivating quotes, suggestions and tips on how to become more confident, especially turn negative thoughts into positive ones. This book is separated into eight parts, which is a helpful guide towards overcoming low self-esteem and becoming confident.Believe in yourself… Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.”

Reading this made me aware that there are so many contributing factors as to why people have a low self-esteem and I feel like there’s a psychology behind why you feel that way.

Sometimes we are self-loath ourselves, think we’re going to fail, worry what other people think and being hard on yourself. But there are also many factors that can contribute to being more confident in yourself, such as writing down positive compliments someone has given you or your achievements. Surrounding yourself around good friends and it’s about quality, not quantity. Having 5 great friends is way better than having about 400 you don’t talk to on Facebook. Doing things that make you happy whether it’s reading or playing sports, but it’s also about taking time-out, eating well, having a healthy lifestyle, turning off social media and having a good sleeping pattern.Without a ‘yes’ I cannot welcome opportunity. Without a ‘no’ I cannot stand up for my needs. With both, I can live a balanced life.”

This is a little gem of a book! It’s my first self-help book and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I didn’t want to put the book down. It spoke to me in such a good level and it was exactly what I needed to read because I read it during a time where I was feeling unhappy. I related to the part where it talked said, “A ‘no’ is as good as a ‘yes’ and I completely agree. Do say yes to new opportunities but don’t say yes to everything because you will find yourself in situations you don’t want to be in. It’s okay to say no and be assertive about it. I think it’s so important to be assertive because you’re standing up for yourself and allowing yourself to be able to express what you need. In my experience, if something doesn’t feel right, you just need to walk away.

I’ve never been the kind of person who was confident at all because I was very shy and quiet growing up. I’ve had self-esteem issues about my body since I was 15 because I just hated being skinny. As I’ve gotten older, I accept being the way I look because I can’t do anything to change it. I’d say I’m a bit more reserved than shy. I am always hard on myself, always think I can do better, compare my work to others and I am basically my worst critic, which I can’t help. I have always been envious of people who are really good talkers. Confidence is hard. In my opinion you either got it or you don’t but it’s a work in progress and it takes time to build on that confidence but it is achievable.”

Summary of “Believe in Yourself” by Dr. Joseph Murphy

Dr. Joseph Murphy’s Believe in Yourself is a motivational and self-help guide that emphasizes the power of belief and the role it plays in shaping one’s life. Drawing on principles of psychology, spirituality, and self-empowerment, the book teaches readers how to tap into the limitless potential of their subconscious mind to overcome obstacles, achieve goals, and live a fulfilling life.

At the core of the book is the idea that belief is the driving force behind success and failure. Murphy asserts that the subconscious mind is like fertile soil, where thoughts and beliefs—whether positive or negative—take root and grow. Positive beliefs lead to success and happiness, while negative ones create fear, failure, and limitation. Therefore, changing one’s inner beliefs can transform their external reality.

Murphy introduces practical techniques to harness the power of the subconscious mind. One of the key strategies is the repetition of affirmations and positive thoughts. By consistently focusing on what one desires and visualizing success, individuals can reprogram their minds to align with their goals. For instance, affirming statements like “”I am confident and successful”” can replace self-doubt with self-assurance.

The book also delves into the importance of self-confidence. Murphy explains that many people fail not because of external circumstances but due to a lack of faith in themselves. He encourages readers to cultivate self-confidence by recognizing their inherent worth and capabilities. By believing in one’s ability to overcome challenges, individuals can attract opportunities and resources to achieve their dreams.

In addition to self-confidence, Murphy emphasizes the importance of persistence and faith. He shares inspiring stories of people who succeeded against all odds by holding onto their beliefs and refusing to give up. These anecdotes illustrate how unwavering faith can overcome even the most difficult situations.

Murphy also addresses the role of fear and how it sabotages success. Fear, he argues, is a product of negative beliefs and can be overcome by replacing it with faith and trust in a higher power. By shifting focus from fear to possibility, individuals can break free from self-imposed limitations.

Ultimately, Believe in Yourself is a blueprint for personal transformation. It teaches readers that they are the creators of their destiny and that by changing their thoughts and beliefs, they can unlock their full potential. The book’s timeless principles resonate with anyone seeking to improve their life, build confidence, and achieve their goals.

Murphy’s writing is accessible and inspiring, making complex psychological and spiritual concepts easy to understand. His insights continue to inspire readers to take charge of their lives and create a future aligned with their deepest desires.”

भारताने जगातील काही महान धार्मिक नेते, ऋषी, संत, तत्त्वज्ञ आणि आध्यात्मिक विचारवंत निर्माण केले आहेत. ते भिक्षू, नन्स आणि त्यागी, राष्ट्रवादी आणि सुधारक होते. त्यांच्यावर कोणत्याही एका धर्माची मक्तेदारी नव्हती. ते 2, 500 वर्षांपूर्वी जगणारे महावीर आणि बुद्ध, चिश्ती, अव्वैयर आणि गुरू नानक यांसारख्या मध्ययुगीन संतांपासून, विवेकानंद, रामकृष्ण, संत तेरेसा आणि इतर अनेकांसारख्या अलीकडील तत्त्ववेत्ते आणि धार्मिक प्रतीकांपर्यंत आहेत. त्यांनी सोडलेला अध्यात्मिक आणि तात्विक वारसा ही भारताने सर्व भारतीयांना आणि जगाला दिलेली देणगी आहे. ‘जीवन धडे’ या मालिकेत आम्ही भारतातील काही प्रसिद्ध आध्यात्मिक शिक्षकांच्या आवश्यक शिकवणी, भाष्ये आणि चरित्रात्मक टिपांसह प्रकाशित करतो. प्रत्येक पुस्तक वाचकाला जीवनातील कठीण वाटेवर मदत करण्यासाठी एक सुलभ साथीदार असेल.
स्वामी विवेकानंद हे समजणे कठीण आहे आणि बहुतेक लोकांना इंटरनेट संग्रहणांवर फिरणारी खाती तयार करावी लागतात, नेहमी सत्य नसतात आणि कधीकधी मिश्रित असतात. वेदांताचा सारांश सोप्या भाषेत टिपणारा हा छोटासा ग्रंथ आहे.

“”स्वामींनी भारतीय अध्यात्म आणि पाश्चात्य ज्ञानाच्या देवाणघेवाणीद्वारे पूर्व आणि पश्चिम यांच्यातील एकीकरणाची कल्पना केली.””

या पानांमध्ये ज्ञानाचा खजिना आहे आणि ते समजण्यास सोप्या शैलीत संप्रेषित केले गेले आहे जे स्वामी विवेकानंदांच्या शिकवणींमध्ये स्वारस्य असलेल्या प्रत्येकासाठी एक सुलभ परिचयात्मक मार्गदर्शक म्हणून काम करू शकते. स्वामी विवेकानंदांना त्यांचे गुरू रामकृष्ण परमहंसमध्ये सापडले आणि चर्चा वाचनाला मनोरंजक बनवतात. स्वामी विवेकानंदांची शिकवण तरुण पिढीपर्यंत नेण्याची गरज आहे कारण महापुरुष पिढ्यानपिढ्या प्रासंगिक राहतात.

पुस्तकाची सुरुवात स्वामी विवेकानंद आणि त्यांचे जीवन, त्यांचे तत्वज्ञान आणि नंतरचा मजकूर स्वामी विवेकानंदांच्या त्यांच्या गुरूंसोबत झालेल्या चर्चेतून निर्माण झालेल्या विविध शिकवणींना समर्पित आहे.”
