3 Reasons To Believe

3 reasons are more than enough

Aug 08, 2016

"I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given. I believed in myself, and I believe in the goodness of others." -Muhammad Ali

Too believe. What a feeling it can be. Waking up to an unknown attraction towards what can be. What potential one possesses or how we suddenly find ourselves overcoming obstacles that we thought were undefeatable. Not believing is a disease. When I say that I do not mean when we do not believe in God, Or a mystical being. Rather not being able to believe in yourself is deafening. Its a sign that the darkness is winning. Your defeat can be imminent and that no matter how much you scream and shout, your situation will NOT change.This is when you need to get up. You need to break and define this silence. You have to believe. Here are 3 reasons why you need to believe in not only your fight but yourself.

1. Its automatic DEFEAT!

That, "How could this happen?" feeling takes over your entire body. All your fears come true and you find yourself blaming every decision you have ever made. You basically gave up without a fight! If you want to be able to win. To get what you want. You need to fight. To fight you need to believe.

2. Believe you can and you are half way there.

I do not believe this needs further explanation. Believe to give yourself that motivation to get you where you need to go.

3. When you do not believe in your own self. How can you expect others to believe in YOU?

Its hard to find people who are always there for you no matter what. People that will believe in you when all is lost. Show them their faith is in the right person. You owe them that much at least, Right?

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
