We can all use a little encouragement from time to time. Especially when we begin to have feelings of self-doubt and/or frustration.
These feelings can get in the way of us achieving our goals and dreams if left unchecked.
That encouragement can be as simple as someone saying, “Keep at it,” “You can do it!” Or it can come in the form of a loved one, teacher, or supervisor who gives us room to grow and fly. There have been times in my life when just a word of encouragement, or someone believing in me, thinking “I could do it” made all the difference in the world. That’s partly how I got so many career opportunities.”
I want to share these ideas that has helped me a lot with you guys.
I hope that these "believe in yourself quotes" will inspired and uplift you. It’s not always easy to be yourself, but part of that stems from learning to love and respect yourself as you are. Love yourself quotes and be yourself quotes remind us that others have faced that struggle with their self esteem and the judgment of others and won!
Consider this your “push” from me to you.
But before we start let me share this little story with you,
THE EAGLE WHO THOUGHT HE WAS A CHICKEN:
A baby eagle became orphaned when something happened to his parents. He glided down to the ground from his nest but was not yet able to fly. A man picked him up. The man took him to a farmer and said, “This is a special kind of barnyard chicken that will grow up big.” The farmer said, “Don’t look like no barnyard chicken to me.” “Oh yes, it is. You will be glad to own it.” The farmer took the baby eagle and placed it with his chickens.
The baby eagle learned to imitate the chickens.He grew up thinking he was a chicken. All his life that eagle did what the chicken's did, He would poke around in the dirt looking for worms and insects to eat, he would fly a few feet into the air like chickens do,he'd cluck around.
As time passed that eagle he grew very old. Then one day an eagle flew over the barnyard. The eagle looked up and wondered, “What kind of animal is that? How graceful, powerful, and free it is.” Then he asked another chicken, “What is that?” The chicken replied, “Oh, that is an eagle. he is the king of all birds, The master of the skies, But we belong to the ground because we are just chickens, But don’t worry yourself about that. You will never be able to fly like that.”
And the eagle went back to scratching the ground. He continued to behave like the chicken he thought he was. Finally he died, never knowing the grand life that could have been his.
I want to encourage you today that you are an eagle.
You may have been brought up in a situation that limited your understanding of your potential, but it’s time now for the past to lose its hold on you.
Don’t die thinking you’re a chicken when you are actually an eagle.
Soar high, just as you were meant to.
Be all that you are meant to be!
you and me both know that you don't belong where you are right now, You don't belong to some of the people you're around right now, You got no business doing what you are doing right now, You're being a chicken when you were born an eagle.
“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.”
We all want to make the world a better place. We all want to mean something to other people. What that looks like differs for all of us, and sometimes it changes from one day, one month, and one year to the next.
But it’s up to us all individually to wake up every day and decide that those intentions are what really matter. It’s not the money, approval, acclaim, or anything else that might distract us from what we believe to be true. What matters is who we want to be, and what we do about it today.
I want to be someone who cares. I want to be someone who chooses not to cause myself pain but isn’t afraid of hurting if it’s the price of loving fully. I want to be someone who does what I believe is right, even when it’s hard. Today, I will, in action and with all my heart.
Who do you want to be–and what are you doing about it today?
How often do you wake up from your bed in the morning with one idea in mind for what you want to accomplish, only to find yourself doing something else because of social pressures or personal anxieties?
Are you dressing the way you want to dress? Do you listen to the music you really like, or do you follow the herd? Are you working the job of your dreams, or the job of someone else’s dreams?
A lot of things are mass produced today in this industrial era. So it makes it even harder than ever to be yourself when others want you to be mass produced too. But no lifetime, no matter how successful, will be truly rewarding or happy if you cannot learn to love yourself and be yourself. And while it may seem harder than ever now, these quotes about being yourself come from famous writers, philosophers, businesspersons, and celebrities throughout history who have struggled to find their identity, just like you.
Quotes on being yourself make it clear that the struggle to determine your own identity and live the life that is most real in your heart is an age-old fight. But just as others have risen to the challenge, you too can learn how to be yourself, standing tall and proud.
