Be Willing

Never Hold Yourself Back

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about 5 hours ago 1 min read
Be willing to learn and enjoy your life

“It’s not who you are

that holds you back,

it’s who you think

you’re not.”

As humans,

we are riddled with self-doubt

and this hinders

our ability to reach our full potential.

We very often think

about who others think we should be

and not who ‘we want to be’

or even ‘who we really are’.

This just holds us back,

especially in our minds.

Believing in ourselves

and

in our own abilities

will propel us forwards

and

away from such doubts.

There is power

in believing in ourselves

and

it shows that we have

control over our lives.

Creating a positive mindset

will give us an optimistic attitude

which will help us to

accept ‘who we are’.

Being willing to learn

and to adapt

will encourage us

to be the best version of ourselves

possibly can be.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
