Unfortunately, most people let the external world decide whether they should or shouldn't, whether they're talented or not, whether they're good or bad. Your opinion never truly comes into it. We are satisfied with the opinions, circumstances, and opportunities in the outside world that seem to say what we can or cannot do.
What I'm challenging you to do, Gentle Reader is to bet on yourself. Consider what is possible for you. Make that decision for yourself.
Remember, when someone says something is impossible or unattainable, they're not talking about what you can do, but rather, what they can't do. The final word on a decision like that rests with you and you alone. If the thing you want to achieve in your life has ever been achieved by someone else like you, then it's possible for you too.
Â
People who say, "It's impossible."
Should not interrupt those who
Are trying to make it possible.

Take the steps with confidence and belief in yourself. You cannot expect others to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself. The game is played from the inside out.
Â
As a man thinketh...
Â
Bet on yourself first and foremost, and remember no one else is coming to save you or do your work. You either make that choice, or someone else will make it for you.
Maintain your vision even when the outside world denies it's possible for you. It's hard but keep consistently moving towards it in a big or small way and remind yourself you're moving closer to your desired result.
Â
Betting on yourself means never giving up. Staying in the game is the surest way for you to win. Remove yourself from the competition, and you're done.
Â
When you bet on yourself, you show up every day in pursuit of that vision, and brilliant things begin to happen. What starts inside with your thoughts produces your daily habits, and they begin to attract beautiful things. Before you know it, that dream will be in sight, and it will be all worth it.
