Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
Most of us struggle with self-doubt at some point. Whether you’re trying to start a business, change careers, or simply become a better version of yourself—faith ☀️ in yourself is essential. One of the simplest and coolest guides on this topic is James Allen2‘s classic book As a Man Thinketh.
In the YouTube version of the book, you’re reminded that thought is the seed of action. Every success—and every failure—starts in the mind.
Here are 3 takeaways to help you build faith in yourself:
- Guard Your Thoughts
What you consistently think about, you become. If you repeat negative thoughts like “I’m not good enough,” you’re reinforcing a belief system that works against you. Start feeding your mind with empowering truths. - Character is Built, Not Given
Allen reminds us that noble character is not a gift—it’s the result of intentional habits and repeated actions. Faith in yourself comes when your actions align with your values. - You Are the Master of Your Destiny
This might sound cliché, but Allen says it best: “A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.” When you take responsibility for your mindset, you take control of your future.
Revisiting this timeless book3 reminded me: Faith isn’t something you wait to feel—it’s something you build, brick by brick 🧱, thought by thought.
If you’re in a rut, give the video a listen and let it realign your mindset.
