Believe When Others Doubt!

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small peopl always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain

T here are times when you will come up with a great idea that you know and believe is a good one. If the idea makes enough sense, some people will become excited and want to help you make it a reality by investing their time or money. Not everybody will rally behind you. In fact, there are those who will probably ridicule you. They will tal negatively about you behind your back and try to discourage you. They may even suggest that youre borderline crazy.

There are doubters to every new idea. You must not let these doubters stop you from pressing on. They are not qualified to be your fortuneteller; they do not have all the answers. Can you overcome these doubters? Yes. You must simply believe in yourself and in your own abilities. Its nic if others believe in you, of course. In fact, thats great oxygen for your soul; but ultimately its your own internal fuel of belief that must keep you going.

Many of my fellow villagers gave up on me. They didnt think I was goin to survive. Their cynical predictions loomed over me throughout my childhood. All around me were messengers telling me that I would not long survivethat my life would be brief and painful.

Some even said that I would nevercould never accomplish anything worthwhile before I died. According to these doubters, for me to even try to achieve something worthwhile would be pointlessto believe otherwise would be foolish. Those were their words and beliefs. I had my own internal beliefsthat my life would not only continue, but it would also get muc better. I predicted for myself a better life. I saw my own light at the end of the tunnel. I believed a tide would one day come in to lift my boat.
