Believe in Yourself Again
Do you dare to express your opinion in public? Do you think it's immature to express your feelings to others? How do you react when you're the odd one out? Can you accept different opinions but still stick to your goals? What would you do if you were the only one who thought differently than everyone else? A friend of mine has been in this situation before. She felt uncomfortable when her behavior was always questioned. She even felt lonely and fell into the abyss of depression for a long time. She became sensitive and easily nervous. She even stayed away from people for long periods.
Although people have emotions, they are very good at packaging themselves. They don't express their feelings in public. They keep their emotions inside. They view hiding as a form of emotional maturity. Quite the opposite is true. Emotional maturity means being able to release your feelings, express your needs clearly, set your boundaries, and relax regularly. Our lives are full of waves. It's like you're enjoying the view of the ocean and the feeling of the rolling waves. Don’t forget that you are not a wave. You are on a ship, taking control of the rudder and deciding which direction to go. It's not easy to stick to something even if no one values it but you. After all, people tend to be in a group and obey the majority. As a minority, it’s easy to be marginalized and ignored.
Don't worry. You'll find a team that brings you great ideas and cheers you on. Do you remember my friend I mentioned in the first paragraph? She went abroad and developed well. If you haven’t tried it, do you know how capable you are? How can you succeed if you don't believe in yourself? This is a true story shared by a friend of mine. A year ago, my friend told me that she planned to stay in the United States and become one of them. The biggest problem is her language skills. She has hated English since high school. She never scored high on her English exams. To improve herself, she took action. Her core drive is so strong that it drives her to find ways to strengthen her English. She spent nearly two years proving her English proficiency. During this time, she even found work abroad. That doesn't mean she isn't afraid of uncertainty. This means she is prepared to take the risk of uncertainty.
Finally, the most important thing is to take care of yourself. Eat well, sleep well, and maintain a regular lifestyle. No one can help you stay healthy but yourself. Do you know where wealth comes from? Wealth comes from your passion, persistence, and health. Without a healthy appearance, you can't accomplish anything. If you have constant colds and coughs, will you be able to focus on your target? You are the best version of the world. Only you can decide which version you are.
