Believe in Power!

For a moment, on this Monday, relax a bit, just for a few minutes, and think of an answer to this question:

“Who believes in you?”

Mentally make a list.

“What attributes or abilities would those person(s) say you have that leads to their believing in you?”

Mentally make a list.

“What difference does it make to you to recall such beliefs?”

Mentally, make a list.

“What if, just for today, you were to live through those beliefs slightly more when you encounter a student, teacher or parent? What might those people notice about you that would be helpful?"

Here’s the really cool thing. I believe that beliefs are transferable! Yes, when you use the solution focused approach and your own attributes and abilities to seek out competencies in people, you become a believer in them! In the same way that recalling how others believe in you pumps you up, so can you…pump up others. Beliefs are rather powerful.

Remember too, that I believe in every one of you. When you read these Monday Ideas, you bring those beliefs to life each week and transfer those beliefs to others.

You are quite amazing.
