Inspiair yourself.
The mind has amazing capabilities for both positive and negative thoughts. What our mind focuses on tends to manifest into our lives. Though outside influences can contribute to enhancing our thoughts and efforts, it is our inner self that determines our motivations and inspiaration(s). We have to believe in ourselves, our purpose, our true calling. Those close to us can give encouragement, tells us what they think we need to hear and have faith in us, but,... if we don’t believe in ourselves, nothing externally said will change our belief. Believing in ourselves in a mature, no egotistical way, is so powerful and positive. Who else should you believe in more, no one. If you put the work in, in an honest fashion, you have to believe in yourself. When doubt creeps in, this gives a window for insecurity to show itself. To be your very best, you have to believe you are the best version of yourself. Always willing to improve, learn, listen and believe this is the essence of life.
