When was the last time you really looked at yourself and said, "Hey, I'm proud of you"? When was the last time you felt like you had what it took to succeed—no matter how many twists and turns lay ahead? If you feel like you haven't done it in a long time, it's time to do it. To find that spark you carry inside.
The reason you're here
Life is a crazy mix of ups and downs, doubts and triumphs, regrets and possibilities. One thing is certain: being here means that deep down you still believe that something more is possible. That you deserve something more. If I didn't, I would have given up a long time ago. But you didn't. You are here. And that means you have hope. You may not feel it every second, but it's there – a tiny spark waiting to be rekindled.
Walls are not your solution
I understand. You built walls. You tried with all your might so that nothing would hurt you again. To no longer experience that feeling of rejection, that feeling of failure. But be honest – are your walls really protecting you? Are you being locked up? The walls we put up around ourselves are nothing more than barriers that separate us from what we really want. They can protect you from pain, but they can also keep you away from happiness, growth, and connection.
It's time to take a risk
How many times have you said "I'd rather not try" because you were afraid of failing? How many times have you sabotaged yourself, convinced yourself that something wasn't for you, just because you were afraid of failure? But you know what real victory is? Moving forward. You know what real failure is? Staying in the same place for fear of moving.
Life is not made to be spent in a safe haven. It is made for you to experience it - in all its shades. It means taking risks, falling, picking yourself up and trying again. To do the thing that inspires you, even if your heart is beating like crazy. Write, paint, sing, enter a competition, start that project you've been dreaming of. Tell the person you like how you feel. This is life - don't procrastinate any longer.
What's your next move?
Maybe you think you're too small, too slow, too scared. But the truth is that you have everything you need inside of you. Your potential is greater than you can even imagine. If I could just see for a second how strong you really are, I'd be shocked. So why stay where you are? Let today be the day when you say to yourself: "Enough is enough." It's time to step on the stage of my life.”
Let others close
I know vulnerability is hard. I know it's hard to let someone close because someone may have hurt you before. But remember - vulnerability is not weakness. It's your strength. When you let someone close, you give them the opportunity to help you believe in you, even when you doubt it yourself. Allow the people who love you to break down those walls because they see in you what you may not. Something special. Something wonderful.
He repeats after me: "I am strong." I am capable. I can do it.”
Come on, say that out loud. He feels those words. Let them inspire you. And then move on. Go and do what you've always wanted to do but were too scared to do.
I believe in you
And once you too start believing in yourself, there is nothing that can stop you. So what's your next step?
