Empower yourself

Have you ever felt like everything was going wrong like really wrong? Waking up, starting your week on the wrong foot and realizing that every single thing you were doing was ultimately an epic fail? Well you pretty much have an overall picture of how my week looks like. I was on my way back home tonight and thinking about all kind of stuff mostly about the ones I was supposed to do and it felt like I had a trillion thoughts wandering around in my head. Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety… that was the only thing I could think about and everything went even worse when I realized that I was on the eve of writing an article to post on the blog and I had absolutely no clue about what I was going to write about.
I was like… that’s it… I will never be able to do it… life is just too complicated and things aren’t getting any easier and no I can’t do it… I can’t take it anymore. And I was walking on the street, my headphones in my ears when a song that I haven’t heard in a very long time started. And as I was listening to it, I felt as if I was being revived by it and it made me consider life, the real one. The one where you have to struggle to make your way to the top, the one where you have all the keys to open the door of success in your hands but it's up to you to prove that you can do it.

My father used to tell me that life is not always easy and even when things seem to not workout you have to make them workout. You have to try everything until something works. Many reasons could explain why most of the time thing seems impossible for us to do or some goals seem unattainable. One of them could be that we are not realistic and patient: we want to achieve herculean results in a short period of time. Another could be that we give up on the way because we get tired of trying without knowing that the next key we will use to try to unlock the situation is actually the right one. Or we simply get overwhelmed by the size of the problem or the situation and we turn our back without even trying and run away instead of facing it and solving it.

Life can be considered as a battle where every victory opens up a door to let you move to the next level. It can be also considered a set of tests where the more you exercise your skills, the better you get and the sooner you move to the next problem until you have won the prize. The harder the problem, the more satisfaction you get from solving it and also the more confident you feel about yourself and about your ability to make things work out. So if you never try you will never know if you would have been able to make it or not.

You are stronger than what you think; you just don’t know it yet. You have to empower yourself, to change the way you think, to believe that you can do it and you will do it. Like I said in the previous article, you need to take one step after the other, don’t look at the number of times you have already tried, keep trying until you make it. When you feel like you are going weak, that you are about to give up remember that the possibilities are endless and that you have the power to make things change. Don’t let the circumstances put you down but instead find the strength deep inside to place yourself above them, to believe that everything is possible and you will see amazing things happen.
