How to harness the power of believing

Yesterday was Father’s Day. This year we decided to do something different and active together.

The kids love watching the Australian Ninja Warrior. And so this particular venue has a ninja warrior course and with the famed warped wall.

The warped wall is at the end of the course, is about running toward and upward and reaching the height to pull yourself up to the top.

We each had a go and got up there. My daughter who is seven and just about 110cm tall was scared and afraid at first. I told her I would go up even though I was scared and afraid too just to show her to believe in herself.

After she saw I was able to get up there, she said I want to have a go.

All together she attempted the wall over 100 times, each time increasing in confidence, and excitement.

I heard her say I’ve got this I believe in myself. I said who taught you that sweetheart? She said I did. I said that’s called a mantra and I love your mantra. It’s a beautiful one. She was harnessing the power of believing and empowering herself through positive self talk.

Every now and again I observed watched on as she would find another obstacle and challenge herself to master it.

When she had mastered a different obstacle, she used this energy of achievement, carrying this feeling back to the warped wall.

Absolute genius, through watching my own daughter I discovered how to harness the power of believing.

Don’t give up
Never ever give up
Keep trying
The secret is to try 1000 times
Take a break and do something you know you can get done
Try a different challenge instead of staying stuck
Come back and try again
Carry the feeling of achievement in one area of your life to another

I saw her little face as she saw her much taller and older brothers get up and over the wall - “anything they can do, I can do,” and seeing them get over inspired her to keep going.

And I absolutely loved hearing the encouragement of her brothers, who only saw that she could do it.

She managed to touch the top of the warped wall with her hand three times. She was happy with this secondary goal even though I could see her little face wanted to achieve the primary goal of getting all the way to the top, she said I want to keep practicing, can we come school holidays and Christmas holidays too.

Of course, how could I say no to that?

This is how you harness the power of believing - you say it, you believe it.

EDIT: we visited the warped wall again, and guess what? YES! she made it up to the very top of the wall. You should have seen her face. Next challenge here she comes, she is already setting her sights on the next wall!

    Hi my name is Angela. I have loved writing since I was able to hold a pencil in my hand. I soon learnt I had a gift of connecting with my ancestors through writing before my 30th birthday.

    I self published a book (A family of shopkeepers - via blurb) about my ancestry, the result of a project to unite family here and gone through their memories and stories of my ancestors. It is hard to explain but I felt their presence through this journey and I continue to.

    In Feb 2020, I found this online business learning platform through my mum. With her never-ending guidance and support, I discovered more of my purpose in life.

    Everything I wanted was inside of me the whole time. I just needed someone to point the microscope at me and tell me the gold is within and create the context for me through the learning platform, through the collaborative community, through mentorship, guidance, coaching and transparent leadership.

    The reason I share is because part of my finding myself was also realising I see the gold in others. And in seeing the gold in others I have the capacity to empower others to discover what they want for themselves and their lives.

    If you want to find out more about the learning platform that can do the same for you, just reach out at one or any of the links.

    ​I was looking for mentorship and personal growth and I found it in an unlikely place called "building an online business from scratch."
