Why is it that some people rise above difficult circumstances while others allow those circumstances to defeat them?
You will face challenges in your life. People may criticize you, doubt you, or tell you what you cannot do. You may experience disappointment, rejection, failure, or circumstances that seem impossible to overcome. But never allow these experiences to determine who you are or who you will become.
You Have the Power to Rise
Those who ultimately overcome are those who bring forward all their desire, passion, determination, and belief in themselves. Your desire to achieve your goals must become stronger than your self-doubt. It must become stronger than criticism and the negative voices around you.
Ask yourself: What is keeping my wings folded?
Is it fear? Is it something someone said about you? Is it a mistake or failure from your past? Or have you convinced yourself that you do not have the power to fulfill your dreams?
Be careful what you choose to believe about yourself. When you decide that the next hurdle is impossible, you can begin defeating yourself before the challenge has even started.
Instead, bring forward your determination.
You may fall. You may make mistakes. You may not succeed the first time. That does not mean you stop. Get up, learn, adjust, and keep moving forward. Every challenge is an opportunity to discover more of the strength that already exists within you.
In the face of any obstacle, know that your real self is there to guide you forward. Your real self knows your potential. It has the power to love and support you through any situation.
A butterfly cannot discover the strength of its wings by keeping them folded.
Neither can you.
Do not wait for everyone else to believe in you before you believe in yourself. Do not allow your past, fear, or the opinions of others to decide how high you can rise.
Bring forward your desire. Bring forward your passion. Bring forward your determination and belief.
Trust the power within you. Spread your wings and discover just how high you can fly.
