You’ve got to believe in yourself and your abilities. If not for yourself, for others. So many people don’t believe in themselves and then they are discouraged when others don’t believe in them either. Belief isn’t charity. It’s something we earn for ourselves by believing in ourselves at both the best of times and the worst of times. Belief shouldn’t be confused with arrogance and blind confidence. Part of believing in yourself is being fully aware of your weaknesses, your short-comings and your biases. Believing in yourself simply means that you see a change in the world you would like to make and that you recognize you're capable of making this change; becoming this change. With time, others will learn to believe too.
