When you feel like stopping… don’t.
When you feel like giving up… don’t.
When you think that you can’t keep going… you can.
When you think that it’s all too hard… think again.
When you think that you are stuck in your current situation… you don’t have to be.
When you feel as though no-one is listening… keep adapting your communication style.
When you feel all alone… reach out to someone.
When you feel tired and uninspired… energise yourself.
When you don’t know what to do next… do something.
When you have a myriad of choices in front of you and they all look appealing (or none of them do)… make a decision.
When you make a mistake… say sorry and learn from it.
When someone else makes a mistake… forgive them and move on.
When you don’t feel equipped for the next level… keep growing.
Whatever you do, don’t fall for the myth that you can’t reach your dreams. You can get there by persistently overcoming the obstacles (real or imagined) that are in your path.
Just don’t stop!

“Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.”
