You can achieve whatever you want, all you have to have is belief that you can do it. The belief that you can make a difference in this world.

Just stop for a moment. Ask yourself:

Do I believe I can make a difference in world?

If I were to die tomorrow, what would I be remembered for?

Are you happy with that?

It's your choice. You can make a difference in world, if you want to. You choose.

The mountain that stops you achieving is inside you. It's your fear. It's what stops you from being a success. It's what allows you to say I'll try rather than I'll go for it 100%.

It's those thoughts that constantly show you negative, why it cannot be done. The self defeating thoughts of why you are not person to do it because you are not good enough. No one in your family has ever done it before. It's voice inside your head that belittles you, disapproves of what you are going to do and even shows contempt towards you.

Pierluigi Collina, a football (soccer) referee now acknowledged to be best referee in world and one of greatest referees of all time said:

"Faced with choice between challenge and fear, I never have any doubts,

I'll take challenge every time"

Do not allow yourself to be a victim of your thoughts. Allow yourself to live, to reach your dreams. You owe it to yourself to reach your dream. To achieve your potential. To make a difference to world. You need to write more on your epitaph than S/he survived until s/he was ?? years of age.

It's quite simple to succeed in life: you have to be different to other people. You have to do things differently. You have to change those negative, disabling limiting beliefs. You have to keep focussed on job in hand. You have to do it better than anyone else. When you put effort into thinking and talking and being better then naturally you feel better and you have a better life. Therefore you deserve to succeed because you are willing to keep going when others fall by wayside.

Remember life is about learning not perfection. Go for it. You have courage.

I have this quote hanging up in my room and I live it everyday: “you are who your friends are.” In my life I try to be around positive and successful people because that is who I am. I know that may sound selfish and egotistical, but you must set high standards for yourself. If you want to lead and achieve, you must receive friends who fit your standards. Your standards are there to protect you and to guide you to success, don’t lower it for anyone or anything or you’ll regret it for rest of your life.

As for Sarah, I am truly sorry for her and things that guys have done to her, but she shouldn’t have been there in first place. She shouldn’t continually be around same negative people who may do those kind of things. She needs to understand power of saying “no”. It’s not rude in life to sometime say no to wrong people, it’s not rude at all. If you were driving down highway and you noticed a road block, you wouldn’t try to run into it. You would go around it or move it aside. That’s way you must be with your friends: life is short, you don’t have time for people that will bring you down or hinder your success.

As Eminem said in his rap song “lose yourself”, you have one chance, one opportunity don’t blow it!
