Seeing is believing. We have
heard that said often enough. Too much & too often perhaps. I
think it's about time we broaden the scope of our capacity of
confidence to firmly believe certain things can be done if we truly
believe we can. A great part of our capacity comes from our conviction
and confidence; without which, what you set out to do would likely end
up not the best you can do, just the result of what you casually put
together.
Most
artists see what the picture they work on will be like before it's
finished. They guide their brushes towards that image in their minds,
and load the brushes with the chosen colours to match the image in
their heads, or imagination. Hooray, there's the painting exactly as
'seen' by the mind's eye.
In
a way, that's how we set goals for our efforts to achieve them. We
'see' the finished objects or objectives, then we work out the ways and
means, follow them, make necessary changes till, step by step, it
appears closer and closer to the result we have aimed.
If you don't believe you can do it, you won't get far in achieving anything. Or worse, you won't even try. So, how about believing is seeing?
