life lessons

Have faith, not in religion, but in yourself. Trust that you are strong, intelligent, and capable. Believe that you know how to succeed. Let them doubt you, mock and belittle. Push past. Doubters wish you to fail because they feel betrayed by their own failures. Failure is not an end, but the beginning of understanding. Understanding that you are human: fallible and flawed. Yet, you are not your failure. You are drive. You are passion. You are determination, and you are beautiful. It is innate. Search your soul, and you will find the intuition has always been there, guiding. Whether to follow is up to you. The search for completeness is a valid one, which offers many rewards. During the struggles, reach within, and you may surprise yourself. Trust in those you love, but do not depend too heavily on others to lead you. No one else can speak directly to your soul. Pay attention. Listen to your voice and set yourself free of self-loathing. Negativity will drag you down, but learn from your low points. Recognize your failures; do not repeat your mistakes. Learn, learn, learn. Life is an all-encompassing education. Do not waste opportunities to push yourself, to grow. Do not shy away from your talents; let them shine, and you will inspire those around you to do the same. Reach out - the world is not as scary as you think.
