One idea from reading NLP stayed with me:
People don’t back ideas. They back belief.
I’ve seen this in my own journey.
There were phases where I had clarity on what I was doing…
but not always conviction in how strongly I believed in it.
And it showed.
In how I spoke.
In how I presented ideas.
In how quickly I second-guessed myself.
Nothing external was missing.
But internally, the belief wasn’t fully anchored yet.
What I’ve realised over time: The moment your belief becomes steady, your communication changes without effort.
And people start responding differently.
If you’re building something, this is worth asking yourself:
Do I believe in this… even when no one else does yet?
Very well written by my good friend Manoj Keshav
