The Person Who Believed in You First

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

Today happens to be my birthday, but instead of celebrating myself, I wanted to take a moment to recognize someone who deserves the credit. My mom. Over time I have come to realize something simple but powerful. Belief is transferred, and it always comes through a source. Someone has to believe in you before you fully believe in yourself. For many of us, that first source was our mom. Today's episode is a reminder that the confidence you carry today probably started as borrowed belief from someone who believed in you long before the world did. Key Lesson Before anyone else believed in you, your mom did. If today's message resonated with you, take a moment to call or text your mom and simply say thank you.
