Every single day until now, you have woken up. If you need a reminder on how to believe in yourself, just look at yourself, opening your eyes, and trying your best.
Nowhere does it say that you have to get up and seize the day every day, sometimes the best way to learn how to believe in yourself is to deeply appreciate the little things. Not a single thing matters more than the moments you spend trying your best, however big or small those moments might be.
No one’s life is absolutely perfect, and it’s a fact that everyone has been through something painful. It’s up to you if you let the painful moments stay in the way of learning how to believe in yourself.
