Believe in yourself. Blog marathon post 14.
Very often, when we are faced with a difficult situation, we tend to turn to those we consider our closest friends for advice.
We weigh their words and very often act on them too. But I do believe
that NOBODY is really 'qualified' to tell YOU, what will work and what
will not work in YOUR situation. (I am obviously not talking about
advice on a particular skill set required to do a specific task)
The fact is nobody, (not your parents, not your best friend, not even
your soul mate) is going to really understand what YOU, as an individual
are going through. They are always going to tell you what they presume
will work or not work, for your greater good.
But they truly aren't experiencing the exact same emotions that you are.
They may say they understand and in fact they may believe that
completely do, but truly they will never get it. Your dreams, your pain,
your hopes, your emotions are truly yours alone.
Am I saying that you should never ask for advice? NO. We have much to
learn from older folks who might have gone through a similar situation.
Age does have its advantages after all.
But I think the best way would be to follow what your inner voice tells
you. Spend some time alone. Write down what is bothering you. I have
discovered that writing in a journal is truly a great way to give
direction and expression to that inner voice of yours which often gets
drowned.
Believe in yourself. You are definitely more awesome that you think. Yes, you can do it,
All you have to do is believe.
And take that one step at a time.
Always remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with that single step. And the hour is always darkest just before dawn.
