"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." - Christian D. Larson
As humans, we have the tendency to doubt.
To downplay our own abilities.
To question whether we are good enough.
To disempower ourselves.
To doubt whether we're capable or up to the task at hand.
We are each stronger than we give ourselves credit for.
Simply look around you.
Simply reflect upon all the monumental accomplishments we humans have achieved.
Think about the grand civilisation and society we've been able to build.
Think about the technological advancements.
Think about how far we've come as a species.
Now think about how this all came to be.
Some remarkable people and visionaries made all of this possible.
Individuals who are remembered in history for their contributions to our world.
Individuals who are praised, looked up to, and aspired towards.
The great thing is, we all have something in common with these remarkable individuals.
We are all human beings.
Just like us, they are just people.
We all started in the same place.
We all have the tools within ourselves to overcome any obstacle.
We must give ourselves more credit.
We need only to look within and use the tools we already have.

Strive to live, live to strive.
