Motivation Monday: Trust Yourself

Make this your mantra for the day and see all the ways in which you start to achieve more and affect more change in your own lives and the lives of others. 


If you are a student who is currently taking standardized tests in school, trust yourself. Research has consistently shown that our first instincts are usually right. So if answer B is your first choice, go with it. And choose that answer confidently. You know not only what you have learned in school this year, but also what you have learned in all the years before this one. You DO know more than you think you know. 


And if you are an adult who works with young people, know that if working with young people is your passion and your purpose, then no matter what the latest educational trends may indicate, you KNOW that all children can and will learn if given the support and resources necessary for their success. And young people NEED adults who believe in themselves and set a positive example of what it means to live a life of purpose with confidence. So trust yourself. And celebrate yourself. And love yourself. 


It is only when we trust and believe in ourselves that we can teach others the importance of confidence and self-love.
