The power of belief: What people such as Muhammad Ali,Floyd Mayweather and Arnold Schwarzenegger have in common?

Okay so this is my first time writing on a proper post. What I decided to share with you guys is something that has truly intrigued me for as long as I remember. More time of my day is spent then I care to admit,trying to figure out the psychology of people who excel in their selected fields.What those people have in common is an insane belief in their abilities. Mayweather is always calm before a fight,even when facing his toughest opponent,the man who was supposed to beat him-Manny Pacquiao. However Floyd knew what he is capable of and that what other fighters bring to the table he simply neutralizes with his flawless defense.

A lot of people are turned off by the cocky bravado that some successful people have,however that is due to lack of understanding of their psychology. I truly believe that if a person goes into something without the belief that he is the best to ever do it at a certain task,then he better not attempt the task at hand,because he is not confident enough in his abilities. Arnold Schwarzenegger best put it by saying:” I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way — I hope it never will.”

A lot of people go into doing something with doubt in their minds,as well as the fear of failure looming large in the background. However if you truly want to be successful,doubt has to be removed from the equation. You have to only have the image of winning at the goal you have set your sight on. Muhammad Ali called himself the greatest,before he had proven to the world that he was the real deal,because he had visualized himself getting to that position. With that insane belief and tireless work ethic he showed to the world what he already knew,that he truly was the greatest.

Having confidence in your abilities is something that is hard to come by this days,especially while a shadow of doubt is being cast on us everyday by media outlets,or even friends and acquaintances around us. Make yourself believe that your dreams are possible and go out and achieve it.
