WORDS TO LIVE BY BY : ADESSA SORANI “Believe you can and you’re halfway there” - Theodore Roosevelt REFLECTION #1 I believe that believing in yourself is one of the most important things in accomplishing a goal. Having confidence creates a positive mindset that will motivate you to work harder towards any goal. Truly believing in yourself will make you trust yourself and allow you to take risks, and to step out of your comfort zone. Having faith in ourselves will allow us to face the many challenges and obstacles life is filled with. Not believing you can, will make you doubt yourself and lose motivation, you may not even want to attempt to pursue goals, making you stop before you can even start. Believing in yourself is the first step towards accomplishing any goal. "SOMETIMES YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE VALUE OF A MOMENT UNTIL IT BECOMES A MEMORY." -DR SEUSS REFLECTION #2 I like this quote because it's very easy to overlook the importance of little things in our busy life. I find that a lot of my most treasured memories come from regular everyday events as I think back on my past. This point of view inspires me to live in this moment with mindfulness, which helps me create a sense of gratitude and appreciation for life's blessings. It acts as a subtle reminder to cherish every moment since I know that they will become the priceless memories I love. If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it." -Muhammed Ali REFLECTION #3 I like this quote as it helps me in focusing on what asks me to have faith and a vision during my life and reminds me that my thoughts and feelings are the reasons for my achievements. For example, when I describe my goals and have no doubts in myself, I typically can adopt a more active stance even in tough situations. This spurs me to have great visions and chase them with enthusiasm. Knowing that I can trust my abilities while supporting my aspirations helped me understand that I could accomplish my dreams. Not only this strategy will motivate me in striving to bring my objectives closer to realization, but it helps me deal with self-doubts towards obstacles and tackle them with confidence.
