About a year ago, a good friend of mine was approaching the end of his school career. Worried about the prospect of being unemployed once school ended, he chatted with me for quite sometime about finding job that would not only pay the rent, but something that would make him happy as well. In this "job market" though, was that just a pipe dream? Or was it really attainable? I gave him the best advice I could at the time:
Step 1: Believe in your self.
Step 2: Believe in your Dreams
Step 3: Don't compromise your dreams for the sake of others.
When the semester ended a few months later, he had already secured a position in a fairly prominent company and was set to start his training in the months that followed.
A year later, he is still working for the same company and is doing quite well!
I may have given him the advice, but he was the one that made it happen.
How often have you given up on something simply because you didn't believe in yourself? Or not spoken your truth because you felt that it went against what everyone else believe in?
I know I have, more than I'd care to admit.
In the end though, it is only your action or inaction that ultimately decides the outcome; no one else.
Forget those who wish to tell you you're wrong. Keep Moving Forward. When you believe in your dreams, the world is yours to make.
