A Lil' "Pick Me Up"

We all have those days when you just need a pick me up. {If you've never had such, please raise your hand and go sit in the self righteous corner while the rest of us indulge :D} Well, today was one of those for me, where nothing was really making sense, I had an El Nino of self doubt and felt like I was crushing under the weight of the entire universe which had been dumped on my shoulders. Ruben Studdard's I need an angel has been on replay.

Quick SOS to Heaven, I needed a serious pick me up. I thank God I bumped into this motivational video by Les Brown - he is one of my all time favorite motivational speakers. A few statements got me {I had to write them down below} and were just what I needed to hear. I packed up the pity party crew and kicked 'em outta my head.

• Overcome the negative conversations going inside of you. Learn how to empower yourself by standing up to yourself. Watch that inner dialogue.{It is interesting how sometime we can be so hard on ourselves, we discourage ourselves & are our worst critics}. 

• You can learn all the techniques in the world but if you do not believe in yourself it won't happen for you. 

• It takes courage to start over again once you've been defeated. Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. 

• According to your level of belief, it will manifest itself in whatever you are doing - you need to believe in yourself. Brad Henry says, "Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.

Do watch the video and I hope it gives you that much needed kickstart when facing self doubt & need a "pick me up".
