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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
