Believe In Yourself And You Will Succeed At Anything

In This Article:

Most of us go through our daily lives with a dream. Some of us have had that dream for almost our whole lives or maybe a dream just created a few months ago. It does not matter how long you have had your dream but your dream DOES matter. We have each created our dreams from our own life experiences and passions that have defined us as humans. That is why our dreams hold worth because they hold apart of us. Our dreams go way beyond just in a period of our lives but stay present in many different periods of our lives. Our personal dreams hold so much power, so we must personally believe in ourselves.

There will be pressure but you have to keep your mind focused.

There are a lot of pressures in each of our daily lives in trying to make strides to our dreams. You feel the pressure of the work and the constant feeling that you might not be doing enough. Those feelings are normal but you have to keep your mind focused on the dream.

People will put limitations of your dreams.

There will always be people who will tell you that your dream is too big to reach. Do not listen. If you start putting limitations on your dreams then you will never reach your full potential nor your dream.

People will tell you, you're not good enough.

No matter what your dream is, there will be someone in your path that will tell you that you are not good enough. You have to remember that is one opinion of many in the world. You need to learn how to block opinions and take them as much as their worth. I promise you the same people will tell you that, will be following you in your dream.

You only need to believe in yourself.

You do not need anyone to believe in you, other than yourself. If you believe, that you can accomplish your dream then you will not need the approval of others. At the end of the day, you are the only one that will be with yourself 100 percent of the time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
