Power of Belief

Often times I assume incorrectly that people don't need as much belief placed in them and encouragement as I do. What a horrible fallacy.

My perceptions of others often place them above me - at least in some way, shape or form. This delusion keeps me silent from encouraging them and expressing appreciation for them in the things they do and who they are.

This in turn, completely blocks the Law of Reciprocity from occurring. Of course the reason for giving is not getting, but it happens to be a fact that it will somehow.

I was thinking about the power of belief on a team, work, sports, whatever. What would happen if a boss or a coach believed so strongly in the individuals on the team that he or she would be willing to take a loss just so that each member could have the opportunity to grow? What if the superstar were held back from saving the day, and the weakest member was allowed to expand their potential - but still lose?

Loyalty. That's what would happen.

I want to be on a team where they are willing to let me fail so that I can grow. And I want to possess the maturity to know when and where to stand down to let others grow. Everyone should have that right.
