“Don’t let your doubts and fears be the boundaries of your dreams”
Doubts and fears are inevitable if one seeks to be successful. In having a dream, there will ALWAYS be consequences. The higher the dream/goal, the more difficult the trials are... but this doesn't mean we should give up on every hindrance. This doesn't mean that we don't deserve our dream. In fact, we shouldn't let anything lead us to believing that we don't deserve what we want: not society, not our friends, and most definitely not ourselves.
Society has provided us with a basis on how we should live our lives. It has made us live like robots. If we live our lives trying to fit in the standards of society, not only do we close our doors to discovering our potentials, but we negate our chances of being successful. We should associate ourselves with people who bring out the best in us, not drag us down. The people who encourage us, not stop us from improving ourselves. The people who help us, not stress us. Because if we do otherwise, we will never reach our dream.
If there are people who live trying to please society, there are also people who underestimate themselves. If you are one of those people, for all you know, you might be undervaluing your capabilities. You're probably braver than you think, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you give yourself credit for. Also, you should learn to expand your potentials. Thomas Edison once said that if we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. You should know that every individual has unlimited potentials. There is always a variety of untapped talents that are hidden within us. It only takes our willingness to bring them out.
Basically, the only thing that matters is what you think of yourself. Have your own opinion of who and what you are. That way you are in control of yourself. Nobody has the power to bring you down except yourself. Your friends, family, or the rest of society can discourage you, hinder you, rate you, judge you, but they can't succeed unless you give them consent. The most effective way to achieve your dream and be successful in life is to have confidence. To believe in your capabilities. To believe in yourself.
If there are times that you feel as if nobody believes in you, always remember that God does. And if GOD believes in YOU, what can hinder you from believing in yourself?
“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:13-14
