Why You Struggle, and What’s Behind It

Think about the last time you:

  • Said yes when you wanted to say no.
  • Swallowed your words when you needed to speak up.
  • Overthought something until it paralyzed you.
  • Snapped at your kids or felt overwhelmed.
  • Avoided taking a risk because you weren’t sure you’d succeed.

Every one of these behaviors, and thousands more, can be traced back to one cause: what you believe about yourself.

Your Beliefs Shape Your Entire Life

Most of us don’t realize how much our self-beliefs control us. We think we’re reacting to outside circumstances when, in reality, we’re responding to the stories we’ve told ourselves.

Here’s the truth:
If you don’t intentionally decide what to believe about yourself, your subconscious will do it for you.

And your subconscious? It’s not your biggest fan.
It tells you you’re not good enough.
It convinces you to play small, hold back, and settle for less.

But you don’t have to believe it.

What Happens When You Don’t Rewrite Your Beliefs

If you let these default beliefs take over, here’s what it costs you:

  • Opportunities pass you by.
  • Your relationships stay surface-level.
  • You hold yourself back from contributing your gifts to the world.
  • You live a smaller, less fulfilling life.

In short, you don’t become the person you were meant to be.

My Story, and Why It Matters

For years, I believed I didn’t deserve to live.

It wasn’t just a fleeting thought. It was a deep, painful belief that shaped everything about my life. I believed I was broken, unworthy, and incapable of real happiness.

That belief drove my behavior. I sabotaged relationships. I made poor choices. I played small because I didn’t think I deserved better.

It took a long time, but I don’t believe that anymore.

Now, I like me. I respect me. I trust me. I’m proud of the person I’ve become. I’ve learned to accept and love myself as I am.

The Good News: You Can Change What You Believe

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

You can believe anything you want about yourself.

  • Regardless of what you’ve done.
  • Regardless of what you haven’t done.
  • Regardless of what’s been done to you.

You can decide to believe:

  • That you’re capable of achieving anything.
  • That you’re worthy of love, success, and happiness.
  • That you’re strong enough to handle life’s challenges.

And here’s the kicker: When you change your beliefs, everything else changes too.

How to Rewrite Your Self-Beliefs

Changing your beliefs about yourself takes two things:

  1. Desire: You have to want it.

Why Self-Belief Is the Most Important Work You’ll Ever Do

Here’s my quote about why this work matters:

“Fully accepting ourselves and unconditionally loving ourselves is not a good idea. It is our duty to mankind. For without a commitment to pursue this ideal, we cannot fully love the people we deeply care about or make the contribution to the world that we were destined to make. Disregarding this endeavor not only limits ourselves, we limit our full sphere of influence.” – Shane Jacob

This isn’t just about you. It’s about the legacy you leave behind, the relationships you build, and the difference you make in the world.

Final Thoughts

You are 100% worthy—right now, as you are.

But if you don’t believe it, you’re leaving so much on the table.

Don’t let your subconscious mind dictate your worth.
Don’t let fear or self-doubt stop you from chasing your dreams.

You deserve to believe in yourself, love yourself, and give the world the very best version of YOU.

And you can.

Remember: you cannot fail as long as you Don’t Ever Stop Chasin’ It!

Why don't I like being a parent?

Parenting is one of the hardest things a human can do. Yet parents are often expected to handle it with endless patience, confidence, and love. But the truth is this: many parents secretly struggle with thoughts they’re afraid to say out loud. You are far from alone. These thoughts feel scary, shameful, and heavy, but they don’t mean you’re a bad parent. They mean you’re human. This article breaks down why these thoughts happen, why they don’t define you, and how to pull yourself out of the shame spiral so you can reconnect with your kids and yourself.

Teasing is Destroying Trust in Your Relationships

Most of us grew up hearing, “It’s just a joke” or “Take a joke.” Maybe we even thought it was harmless, playful, or a way to bond. I believed it too. Until I started paying attention. Here’s the truth: teasing is criticism disguised as humor. It’s anger without ownership. And it always comes at a cost.

How to Change Your Past and Take Back Your Life

We all have a past. Some of us have things we are proud of, some we are ashamed of, and most of us have moments that shaped us in ways we did not choose. Here’s the truth: your past is not something that happens to you today. The only power it has over your present and future is the power you give it through your thoughts. I have lived a past most people would call broken. I have been in prison, struggled with alcohol, faced failed marriages, and carried shame that felt impossible to shake. I used to think all of that meant I was branded for life. That it would always limit me. But I was wrong. I changed my past. You can too.

Teens and Addiction: Understanding the Risks and Solutions

Teen addiction is rising, and it’s not just about drugs or alcohol. Shane Jacob breaks down why teens turn to addictive behaviors, what drives these choices, and how parents and mentors can help them build self-belief to prevent or overcome addiction. This article provides insights and strategies to protect and guide the teens in your life.

Embracing Vanity, Pride, and Self-Importance

Most people think vanity is bad. They think it means arrogance or thinking you are better than everyone else. I disagree. Admiring your own achievements and appearance is not bad. Pride is feeling good about what you have done. Being proud is valuing yourself.Society confuses self-acceptance with superiority. You only become arrogant if you put others down. Admiring yourself does not do that. It gives you the foundation to grow, contribute, and love more fully.

Style Matters: Your Style Shapes Your Self-Image and Success

Your style tells the story of how you see yourself. The question is, are you telling that story on purpose or by accident?
