One of God’s greatest gifts is the freedom to be individual and unique. Your happiness depends on what you believe so never lose heart, for the seed of your faith is at work and the timing is divinely set in place for you to reap the bounty of your dreams.

Reject the word “impossible”, don’t surrender the control of your life over to fears or frightening fantasies. Problems are really illusions. Don’t underestimate your own talents and worth, you can do anything you set your mind to do. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true and most importantly, you have to be willing to fail! Failure gives you the ability to grow and to learn more about yourself though those failures. The more you learn and know about yourself the more successful you will be.

I know most people are afraid to take the initial step toward fulfilling their destiny and dreams out of pure fear of failure, I believe this to be true because I used to be one of them. I was always afraid to “look foolish” or to just plain out “fail”, but actually you can learn through failure.

The first thing you have to learn is to stop giving power to negative thoughts, stop watching the news and reading all the bad things in the paper, stop complaining about how our lives are going. Why do we want to fuel our minds with all that junk? One reason I think we do it is because it is easier, we feel we don’t have to be accountable that way. We don’t have to fear failure because we didn’t even try, therefore who is to say whether you were good at something or not, there is no proof.  This is the one area I can say that I have made much improvement in, I would always have a “poor me story” when someone would ask me how I was. Well you know what? NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THAT! They don’t really care! So now when someone asks me how I am I just smile and say something like “just peachy, how are you?” and you know that not only makes the other person smile, but it also takes the pressure off of you, the ball is in their court now. I make it a goal to make at least one person smile a day, that is the one thing I can give that doesn’t cost a thing and can mean so very much to someone. We have to stop living in fear if we want to be truly free and happy. We have to empower ourselves with positive thinking, positive self talk, and surround ourselves with positive people.

It’s not enough to just think positive, and to just think about good things, you have to believe it! If you can Believe it you can Achieve it!

If you are lost, Find yourself! become the lovable person that you know you are, dare to dream, dare to fail!                                                                                                                                                      If you need help working on your self-esteem or finding out who you are, you might be interested in “How to Build Higher Self-Esteem in Just one Weekend“  what have you got to lose? aren’t you worth it?
