I am easily motivated. I watch something where someone rises to a challenge, and I immediately am ready to jump off the couch and change the world.
I am going to attach a video that I'd like you to watch first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSYtQy9EqTA
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson
Don't be afraid of your own light. If you are capable of greatness, you should achieve it. Each of us has greatness in us. It is our job to tap into that potential and do amazing things with it. Greatness is different for each of us; we each have our own path. Do not let anything or anyone stop you in your tracks. Like the video said, many people give up on their dreams or goals either because people are trying to bring them down or life gets too hard. Here is what I have learned in my "long" 25 years of life: There will ALWAYS be people who try to stop you, and life is never going to be easy.
It is a human flaw to criticize others in order to make yourself feel more adequate. It is a terrible thing that too many people fall in to. I can't say that I know too many people who enjoy being ripped apart by others, but like I said in "Brush It Off," what they say doesn't matter. It's what you tell yourself that matters. Don't give people against you any power over who you are or what you want to become. If you give them the power, I can guarantee what the end result will be. Don't blame others for not getting where you want to be and say they were mean or held you down. The only person that can hold you down is yourself. YOU are powerful beyond measure and can do anything you want. People cannot stop you if you do not let them.
It is also a human flaw to stop when life gets too hard. Guess what? Life will never be easy. Life will knock you down and kick you while you on the ground; however, I think it is only for our benefit. There is so much more to learn when you're on the ground then when you're sailing high. When you get knocked down, you learn how strong you really are. You learn what you can take. You learn that you have the strength to get back up no matter what has been thrown your way. Life being hard isn't meant to be a road block. Life being hard is meant to show you what you're capable of overcoming. Life being hard makes the success that much sweeter because you know what you had to get through to be where you are. Life will never roll over and die, and neither should you. The world needs fighters--people willing to give their all to reach their dreams.
I hope this resonates with some of you. Don't let yourself or anyone else hold you back. Don't be afraid of being great. You will meet some along your journey that will try to stop you; don't let them. Life will be there to knock you down; get right back up. Why? Because you are powerful beyond measure.
Go do good things,
BT
