Answer:
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
If you love yourself, if you respect yourself, if you believe in yourself and your dream, NOTHING can stop you. It all depends on your attitude towards life. Thomas Jefferson said: “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude, and nothing can help the man with the wrong attitude.”
Have a positive attitude towards life. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Don’t wait for opportunities to come knocking at your door. Go confidently in the direction of your goals and live your life the way YOU want to.
But, to do this, you need courage. Courage isn’t the absence of fear. Rather, it is conquering your fears and moving ahead.
Leave your fears behind. Don’t be afraid of stumbling and falling. Failure isn’t falling down; it is staying down. If you fall, get up and move on. Never let your eyes move away from your goal. Forget about obstacles. As Henry Ford said, “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”
Never let anybody tell you that something is impossible. You can change the world if you set your mind to it. Believe me, you can. Start slowly, but surely, and you will see your dreams come to life.
One last thing. No matter what happens, NEVER compromise on your values. Your values are what you are. No one can take them away from you. Money, wealth and power are superficial, but your values are deeply embedded in your soul. They will always be with you.
So, do what you want to do. Follow your dreams and live your life the way YOU want to. Never look back. Keep looking ahead and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
