EMPOWERING MOMENT
WORD OF THE MONTH:
 
BELIEVE

The empowering word of the month for July is Believe.  To believe means to accept as true, or to feel sure of the truth.  Believing is having faith in something or someone.  To foster belief, one must have positive thoughts about something or someone, as well as have a positive attitude towards that thing or someone.  For someone to believe in you, you have assured them that what you say is factual and what you do is authentic.  For you to believe in yourself, you have assured yourself that what you say is factual and what you do makes a positive difference in your life. 

The manifestation of something actually happening in reality, requires one to believe.   When we can eliminate negative thoughts, we can begin to believe.  We also have to learn how to stay present and focused on what is going on in our lives right now, and not focus on what has happened in our past.  Despite what you went through, believe that things will get better.  Believe that there are some people in the world, that are true and genuine and want to do good things, without an ulterior motive.  Believe that there are good people in the world, despite what goes on around you.  Believe that no matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, you do not have to be a product of your environment.  You can do and be better, if you believe that you can and work towards doing and being better. 

We shouldn’t be so easy to count people out or count ourselves out, when we stop believing (for whatever reason).  Sometimes, things happen in life that make us stop believing in others as well as ourselves, especially when things don’t go the way that we hoped or planned.  We have to redevelop faith by taking control of situations that we can control, remove ourselves from unpleasant situations, retrain our mind to think positively, take the necessary steps to improve your situation, thereby ultimately improving your life, and believe that people are usually doing the best they can with what they know. 

No matter how hard life gets for you, believe that life can get better.  Never give up on you.  You deserve to be happy.  You matter.  Believe that, because it is true.  Even if people give up on you or stop believing in you, never give up on yourself and never stop believing in yourself.  Believe that you deserve the best that life has to offer.  Do what is within your ability to do to put in the work and improve your situation.  No matter what, never stop believing.
