First of all believe in what you say

Believe in

An ace up your sleeve: There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it solely depends on you to accept them. Constantly keep yourself on the right track, despite all the hurdles and distractions. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of “who you are” and “where you belong”. So when you face days filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself. Remember what you want your life to be. Believe in yourself and people will be forced to believe in you. Millions of people fail to believe in a life they have always wished to live. They fail to realize their ambitions and give up on their big dreams no sooner they encounter the first obstacle. One of the strongest causes for this attitude is that they do not believe in themselves.
During the Dot Com boom, practically everyone was buying internet stocks madly. One of the few people who didn't buy them was Warren Buffet. At that time, everyone criticized Buffet for his extreme caution and skepticism when dealing with these new stocks. Few years later, after the Dot Com bubble took place everyone lost a lot of money while Buffet ended up being the second richest man in the world!
Alex Haley received 200 rejections before he published the novel "Roots" which is now published in 37 languages, won the Pulitzer Prize and had become a popular television miniseries in 1977.
In the early development stages of Microsoft, the company was going to be sold. The buyer turned the offer down because he thought that people wouldn't need to put computers in their homes. Then Bill Gates became the richest man in the world!
Sometimes things happen to you, which at that particular moment may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in retrospection, you will realize that without having overcome those obstacles, you would never have realized your potential, strength, will power. Walk the talk boils down to being able to first believe in what you say.
