There comes a time when you have to learn to stop living in your old life and learn to do something new. Do something that you want and not something that you will regret. Take time to think about all of your abilities and the potential that you have life and go with it.
Courage
Everyone has doubts about life. People around you expect that you should live and act a certain way. Maybe your parents told you that you need to go to school so that you can afford to live and you always wondered if living differently than expected was okay or if it was just a mess waiting to happen.
When you choose to live differently, you will hear people make comments or be surprised at your decisions always wondering if you are making the best choices for yourself.
Sometimes when people tell you that you shouldn’t do something, you listen, and you create a world where you do what people want but you are unhappy. You have to learn to have a self-fulfilling life. If you believe in what you want, you will do it and do it well.
You do not have to listen to the choices that others make for you or believe that you will only succeed if you do what others want form you. You can learn to stop doubting and have courage that you can move forward and live a good life. Here are some tips to be able to do just that:
Positive Examples
Think about successful people that you know or that you admire. Look at other people that are similar than you and took chances and were able to be successful.
If someone else has done what you want to do, you can do it too. When people around you do not understand your choices, that is okay. You have to learn to be confident and not give up on your dreams. Keep working and pushing to see your dreams become a reality.
Love
Love those that live around you and even the ones that put you down. Listen to those that have something negative to say because they are concerned but that does not mean they are right. Listen to their concerns but do what you want to do and what makes you happy.
When you hear people doubting you, this has to do with their own fears and not who you are. Even when this happens, take their words to make you stronger. Do not take their advice for granted, use it to get past the worry and fear and show them love for making you stronger.
Words
The things people say to you do not define who you are, it defines who they are. You create the world that you want to live in. What people say to you are just words and you have to learn to appreciate the honest things that they say to you.
When someone is expressing what they believe, it is okay, it does not mean it is your reality. If someone tells you that you are too emotional, that does not mean that being emotional is a bad thing, it just is what they see and the beliefs that they have.
Take a few minutes and write down all of your qualities and each morning look at your list. Maybe the person that gives you advice has not been through what you have or has not accomplished what you have. Remember that life is your own adventure.
Supportive
Having people in your life that doubt you is normal but now you need to start finding those that support what you want.
Find people that will cheer you on and encourage you to do better and to follow your dreams. If you are looking for these kinds of people, the first person that can help do this is you. Learn to encourage others and then you will find that those that encourage you will come.
These people that encourage you will have a positive impact on your life and will help you to get courageous and live past the doubt that you have.
Work with things in your life that come to you and be flexible. Life is not written in stone. Be happy with what you are doing and what you are accomplishing. Keep practicing having a positive mindset and you will want to live your best life ever.
