Believe It In
The Founding Fathers did not believe in the future.
They believed it into being.
- Robert Frost
The mindset to build a new nation is not terribly different from building a new life. Don’t wait for your future to happen - believe it in.
Robert Frost at JKF Inauguration, Jan 20th, 1961
There is always a lot of talk about belief and faith as if they are nouns. Don’t get confused. They are verbs. To believe does not mean something like believing 2+2 = 4. To believe means to take action, not in some wild gamble against desperate odds, but from a place of sheer conviction. To believe it in means that your certainty will become a lightning rod of actions and events.
Here’s a secret that few people understand - Elon Musk has already been to Mars a thousand times and more. He is not waiting for the future. He is believing it in before our eyes.
When working on your goals, always begin from that inner launch pad of burning conviction and undeniable belief. That is the source of your rocket fuel, and the vast mission control room for all that is about to unfold.
Don’t believe in your future. Believe it in.
