It doesn’t matter how often you hear it
No matter how passionately you deny it
The fact still remains that…
The only guaranteed way to beat the odds
Is to be
You!
If all of your life you have conspired with others who don’t have your best interest at heart to “prove” to people (and to yourself)
That you just don’t have the required gifts that are necessary for success,
Nor the proper training;
Not to mention the lucky breaks that others have had.
The truth is, that the only way to beat the odds is by believing in
You
It is important to note that when the obstacles in life face you
Like you know they will
When the burdens weigh you down
Like only they can
When it’s impossible to make it
Because you say you can’t;
Remember
“The only way to win is to know that you can”
I’m not talking possibility thinking here
I am speaking about that knowledge you possess that no matter what the facts prove
There are other facts which dispute
That
You still can do your best regardless of the assumed out come
Marcus Garvey put it this way
“If you have no confidence in self ,you are twice defeated in the race of life; With confidence, you have won even before you have started “
You have heard how others have done it
How they faced impossible odds and made it
It is clear to you that many have triumphed by taking the gamble
You can admire them all you want
Read about them as much as you can
Speak about them in tones of admiration
But
The only sure fire way to beat the odds is to
Believe in yourself
Go ahead
“Beat the odds”
It’s inside you to do it
