11-Krishna C: Power

Doubt, such a small word but it holds so much power and most people don’t even know it. There is a saying that I think about often. I think about it when I am trying to complete an assignment, I think about it during practices or weightlifting, and I think about it during  conversations with everyone I talk to.

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you will be correct” That quote I think is so powerful because it opens the mind to the idea that it controls more than most people think it’s able to. You have already failed a task if you go into it with the mindset that you won’t be able to accomplish it.

Going into a scenario with the confidence that you will accomplish whatever task is in front of you will more often than not make it come to reality. Now I know that it sounds cheesy and fake but if I had to give an example that hits close to me it would be in weight lifting, now I know that this isn’t an easily relatable topic but hopefully I do a good enough job explaining it. 

When I am attempting a personal record for any lift, this scenario has happened to me time and time again where if I pick up the weight and think to myself “damn this heavy” I have already failed. Although if i try again but this time i tell myself that I can do it and i actually believe it then more often than not i am able to accomplish it. 

Now I know that sounds like I'm trying to sell an idea but my point is that mindset for me is very important, with anything in life when I believe I can do it, I do it. The doubt in your mind is so powerful, but on the flip side, believing in yourself will have the same power.

 Always stay positive even when failing, giving up will never get you anywhere in life.
