A couple of years ago I wrote an E-Book called The FAITH Formula. It’s about believing in yourself and using a proven formula to help you accomplish your goals. I think it is time to revisit the idea of believing in yourself and being confident of the path you are on. Over the past few months I have had some experiences that challenged my belief and confidence in myself. It is not only me. I am seeing this lack of faith or belief regularly when I engage with people. Often, they seem lost or just downright depressed.
As I looked at myself, I was not confident I was on the right path. So, I went back and looked at where I was, where I am, and where I want to be. When I looked at the overall picture, I decided it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. Throughout the years I have come a long way and have made some pretty significant impacts both personally and professionally. I can see how what I am doing is moving me in the direction of my overall goals. I remembered that I needed to have FAITH in myself and the decisions I make, and so do you.
The FAITH Formula – A Structure for Success
F – Formulate a plan
A – Act on your plan
I – Identify what drives you / others
T – Transition into a solution to benefit the situation
H – Handle any issue or objections
This is a basic process to get better at what you are doing. It is nothing more than a structure or process that you can use to coach yourself towards whatever goal you want to achieve. Please note this is not a linear process. As you work through the process you will jump in and out of it at different locations.
If you are questioning yourself, use the formula and get moving in the right direction again. First, create a picture of where you want to be. Take time to identify your goals and picture yourself succeeding at hitting them. Then figure out the steps you must take to get from where you are today to get to where you want to be. Remember, you need to know where you are going in order to get there. Use those steps to help you formulate your plan for success.
Second, take the plan you created and act on it. In acting on your plan be sure to identify and acknowledge what is driving you at your core to accomplish your goals. This may require you asking some tough questions of yourself as you go through the process. That’s okay, in fact it is good because it helps to keep your focus.
The third point is to continue to look for the benefits of each step. Let yourself transition into seeing and feeling each benefit as you move toward what you want. Of course, there will be roadblocks as you move through your plan on your journey to success. Remember when you have FAITH in yourself and know why you are doing what you are doing, you can handle any issues or objections that come your way.
Know that when you have FAITH in yourself and those around you, you can and will do amazing things.
Remember to focus on what you want because your energy flows where your attention goes. Make sure that energy is taking you towards your goals.
