Why Hope Matters

No matter what stage of life you’re at right now, keep reminding yourself that it will get better. Just keep being your bad bitch self, and it will all work out the way it’s supposed to in the end, with you ruling your own life on your own terms and no thought for any of the haters.’– Amber Rose

Go to work for yourself. Go to work for your dreams. And be willing to give more, not less. Just know that not everybody is going to celebrate you when you succeed.

But people will have a lot to say if you do not make it. That is okay. Do not let that bother you. Let them talk. Your work is not to stop them from talking. Your work is to keep going, is to keep making a difference. To keep hope alive.

Is it going to be perfect? No, it is going to be hard. But do not give up. Believe in what you are doing. According to Amber, ‘Everytime you trust yourself, every time you do something scary or hard, you become a little bit stronger.‘ That is how we grow. That is how we make progress.

If you want to make yourself stronger, to prepare yourself for what is next, you have got to be true to yourself. The question is, ‘Are you in it for you?’

How To Find Your Strengths

Do you know what you are good at? Do you know what you can do better than other people?

If you do not know, you are not alone. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with the process of your own self-discovery.

You can’t figure it out overnight. Self-discovery is a journey. It takes time.

To really know what you are good at, you must challenge yourself. You must get out and search for it. You do that by talking to real people, people who are not afraid to tell you what you are good at, what you do better than other people.

Pay attention to your feelings. Pay attention to what makes you happy. Do not dilute your self-discovery with other people’s dreams. Self-discovery is a personal thing. It is not a global thing.

It is your own thing. When you focus on finding out what you are good at, what makes you happy, you start to do what you have not done before. You start to train your mind for tough things. You start to think like your future self.

Because when you train your mind to believe in what you are doing, your life begins to change.

But it is not going to change if you are not committed to making it happen. Do not forget that great things happen when we commit ourselves to them.

You can. You are in charge. You are responsible for changing your life.

If you are serious about finding out what you are good at, you must first get out of your comfort zone.

If you do not leave your comfort zone, nothing is going to change.
