Strength

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Having the courage to do something, become someone, and achieve a dream is the way to go about it. I have just been skiing this week for the first time since I was 8 years old. I was so scared before I even got to the snow I told myself that I could not do it. However, when I had all my gear on and was up on the skis I had to tell myself and make myself believe that I could do it. The first fall was what I needed to realised that it wasn’t that scary after all. With a few lessons and learning the technique I found that I could do it and get back up and try again. Even with a bruise looming on my leg after a massive stack I still want to get up there again a have another go.

This is the same for life; you have to believe that you are capable of achieving your dream without being afraid of failing, it means you tried. All you have to do is getting back up again and try once more. Practise makes perfect and don’t think that you know it all. Ask someone with experience they are bound to help you up and show you a different way of reaching the place you want to get to. The scars help you to learn from your mistakes.
