WHY NOT US? THE POWER OF SELF-BELIEF.

WHY NOT US? THE POWER OF SELF-BELIEF.

I have become entrenched in the thought philosophy behind the motivation, psychology, and fascination with winning.?

And, while I’m not an avid sports fan, I definitely caught March Madness when both the NC State men and women’s basketball teams fought their way to the NCAA Final Four tournaments.?

For the men’s team, the slogan quickly became, “WHY NOT US?”

I immediately loved it.

Yes, they were scrappy.

Yes, they were the underdogs.

But, they wanted it.?

And, they believed they could do it.

They didn’t quite make it all the way, but they gave one heck of a run that was fun to watch.?

So, the next time you have a goal or challenge in front of you:

Don’t consider yourself not worthy.

Don’t think that lofty goal is out of reach.?

Instead, approach it with a little extra self-belief.?

Go into it with a little more “WHY NOT US?”?

And see what happens on the other side…

Absolutely love this post! Self-belief is such a powerful motivator and it's amazing to see how the NC State basketball team's journey to the NCAA Final Four was fueled by their WHY NOT US?" mindset. It's a great reminder to approach our own challenges with confidence and determination. Thanks for sharing this inspiring story!
