The Art of Collaboration

6. Believe you can achieve it.
No matter what action you take, good things cannot happen unless you believe your actions will produce good results. In other words, you must fully believe in what you’re doing if you want to realize your desires. If you allow doubt to enter into your thoughts, the groundwork is being laid for disappointment simply because you’re giving doubt room to expand by giving it attention. Usually doubt begins to manifest itself and take over once the word “but” is spoken: “I want this to be a successful meeting about collaboration, but everyone involved is always so negative.” It is at that precise moment where the seeds of doubt are planted.
