Just Believe

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstance.  ~Bruce Barton
Once upon a time you believed it was possible to do everything and do it all well. When you were little you believed that you would be a princess when you grow up or a fireman, even a doctor or a lawyer or any of the countless others you could think of. And most importantly you believed in yourself, you believed you can do anything you set your mind to because you're so awesome at everything. But somewhere along the line that changed, we don't believe anymore. We're too afraid of what's on the other side, afraid of failure.
It's okay to be afraid, everybody gets scared at some point in their life. The goal is to not let your fear hamper you from becoming what you're destined to be.  You can not let your fear rule your actions. It's so much easier to just shrink away and become invisible, but what good does that do? "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. "
When we we were young we had all these big dreams but as we get older we let fear sink in and put out the flame on all our dreams and aspirations. Whatever it is you want to do and have always dreamed of doing, go ahead and do it. Just believe in yourself and the people who believe in you.
 I know it's a horrible feeling to get your hopes up and then have them come crashing down but you can't truly appreciate success if you've never experienced failure. Failure is a part of life, we just have to use the times we've failed as stepping stones to bigger and better things. The difference between success and failure is those of us that are successful never stop believing in our dreams and goals. And even more importantly we never stop believing in ourselves and our ability to accomplish our dreams. Learn from the mistakes you made the first time, it's the only way you can grow as a person and ultimately get where you want to be.
If you continue thinking that you will fail if you try something, then guess what... you will. Our minds and our thoughts are so important to the way we live our lives that if it's negative it will reflect negatively in all aspects of our life. Like the saying goes If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. Meaning that if you don't believe in yourself then how do you expect someone else to believe in you? 


You have to be confident in yourself and in your talents before you can become successful. Never question if you can do something you really want to do. Dream big and just believe! And always remember that you are AWESOME!
