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?’

When You Are Not Motivated, Remember These People

When you are with these people, they are with you. They are one hundred percent with you. They care about you. They care about what is going on in your life.

They want you to be happy. They want you to achieve your dreams, your goals. They want you to be who you are.

They don’t want you to fake who you are. They want you to live your life, to pursue what makes you happy.

They know what they want. When you are tired, they do not judge you. They bring you back up.

When you are with these people, they ask lots of questions. They ask questions to know how they can help you.

They don’t focus on your mistakes. They do not focus on what you cannot do. They are after how you are going to make progress.

They want you to grow, not to fail. When you fail, they don’t laugh at you. They laugh with you. When you are sick, they call to see how you are doing.

When you are not happy, they show you love. They bring you back to life. They respect you. They value you.

When you are with these people, you don’t want the day to end. So who are these people? They are your supporters. They are your pillars. They are your makers. They are your mentors.
