Belief: The Power that Turned a Chance Encounter into a Life Lesson

Dear friends, today I want to share a story from my past that has left an indelible mark on my life. It’s a tale about belief, and how it can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let me take you back to a time when I was a little younger, a little less wise, but just as curious.

Meeting a Legend

It was the summer of ’76, and I found myself in the bustling city of New York. As fate would have it, I bumped into none other than John Lennon, the legendary musician from The Beatles. Yes, you heard it right. John Lennon, in the flesh!

The Power of Belief

As we got talking, I asked him, “John, what’s the secret to your success?” He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Belief, my friend. You’ve got to believe in yourself, even when no one else does.”

Those words struck a chord in me. I realized that belief isn’t just about thinking you can do something. It’s about knowing it deep down in your bones, even when the odds are stacked against you.

Belief in Action

From that day forward, I started to apply this principle in my own life. I believed in my ability to learn new skills, like HTML and SEO, even though I was well into my 60s. I believed in my ability to start this blog and connect with wonderful people like you. And guess what? It worked.

Believe in Yourself

So, my dear friends, if there’s one thing I want you to take away from this story, it’s this: Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. Believe in your ability to overcome challenges. Because when you do, you’ll find that the world starts to believe in you too.

Remember, it’s never too late to start believing. So, go ahead, take that leap of faith. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Until next time, keep believing.
