I am a firm believer that one can trully acheive what they want if they believe in their own abilities.
Dino did it.
I'm doing it.
I believe that self doubt is your worst enemy.
I believe that you are only as much as you allow yourself to be
you must adopt a sense of pride
and if you wear pride the right way you will shine.
However do not let it become arrogance.
That can destroy you.
You must be clever.
You must be persistent.
You must make yourself shine.
You must KNOW that you are #1.
And you must have faith in the forces that surround and protect you,
that if you do not get what you were desiring it was not mean to be.
And that there is something much better for you right around the corner.
I didn't get to move into Sara's building in Hawthorne.
But I got to move into Dino's house.
I didn't get the job at Beverly Hills Surgical.
But I got the job at the Hot Topic offices.
I must accept my blessings.
Never doubt when something good comes your way.
But give thanks, and be proud of yourself.
You willed it so hard it happened.
I've posted this quote a million times but it always makes me feel good:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate;
our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness, that most frighten us.
We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You're playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsiously give other people permission to do the same, As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-- Nelson Mandela
