Feeling Defeated: Take back your power
By Ringer in Knowledge is power- if you use it- keep it to yourself and it's worthless.

Lack of self-confidence apparently is one of the greatest problems facing us today. I read somewhere in a recent university survey made with six hundred students in psychology courses. Seventy-five per cent listed lack of confidence as their greatest problem. It can safely be assumed that the same large proportion is true of the population generally. People do not believe that they have it in them to be what they want to be, and so they try to make themselves content with something less than that of which they are capable.

Feelings of confidence depend upon the type of thoughts that habitually occupy your mind. If you constantly think "defeated" then you are bound to feel this way. That's worth repeating until the truth grips hold of you: "If you constantly feel defeated- you will be defeated!" Any fact facing us, however difficult, even if its seemingly impossible, that's not so important as your attitude to overcome it. On the other hand, a confident and optimistic thought pattern can modify or overcome those "defeated" feelings altogether.

So if you feel that you are defeated and have lost confidence in your ability to win, sit down, take a piece of paper and make a list, not of the factors that are against you, but of those that are for you. If you or I or anybody think constantly of the forces that seem to have defeated us, we will build them up into a power far beyond that which is justified. They will assume a strength which they do NOT actually possess. But if, on the contrary, you mentally visualize and affirm and reaffirm your assets and keep your thoughts on them, emphasizing them to the fullest extent, you will rise out of any difficulty regardless of what it may be.

Today: "Let your inner powers reassert themselves and lift you from defeat to VICTORY!"
