Hi! I am Elias.
I am the founder of this blog.
I am a person who is passionate about personal development, blogging and writing. I am a published author on Medium.
So what’s my story?
Years ago, I embarked on a path in education and worked my way up into my doctorate. Matriculating in one of the most intensely competitive graduate programs in the nation; with less than 10% acceptance rate, and tackling an average reading load of 8 – 10 hours a day, I encountered the many challenges that we all experience on our way to achieving mastery.
These challenges include various forms of self-sabotage, procrastination, negative thinking, loss of purpose, feelings of powerlessness and even failure.
I looked for help in virtually every field of thought; reading and studying books from clinical psychotherapy, analytic philosophy and even pop psychology.
I consistently listened to self-help audio programs, motivating speeches, and I attended personal development seminars.
I also spent a lot of time observing and studying the way professionals kept themselves in top mental and physical condition. I observed marathon runners, artists, weightlifters, and I studied the habits of top entrepreneurs, philosophers and novelists.
Equipped with such a vast pool of resources, I learned that once we know what to change and how to change it, no rock is too heavy to lift. I also realized that if other people could have access to such resources, then they too would be able to get unstuck and achieve their goals.
Along the way, I also realized I had a gift to impact people — I have the capacity to move them to actively direct their lives and achieve their goals. I also realized that the academy was no longer the right place for me to see the full fruition of this gift.
So, I decided to start a blog, and I started the Believe and Empower blog.
If you are wondering how to start a blog, see my how to start a blog guide for a step-by-step explanation (and pictures).
