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?’

From Words To Action: How To Stop Talking And Start Taking Action

Just talking about what you want is not going to make it happen. If you really want to make a difference in your life, you have got to take your own leap of faith. No one is going to take it for you. Take it. Do not wait for anything else. Do not wait for the right time to take action. If you are not going to move, if you don’t know what to do, then ask for help.

If you don’t ask for help, help is not going to come to you. If you love yourself, take action. If you want to make a difference in your life, take action. If you want to make the world a better place, then you have got to take action.

If you don’t take action, you are just like ‘a stationary sailboat….’ If you do not take action to change your life, you are just another ‘boat tied to the dock. It’s a sailboat with no sails.’

If you want to grow, remember that growth ‘starts with doing, not just believing….’
