What does self encouragement mean to you, to me it means being your own cheerleader. Seeing what you’ve accomplished and using that as motivation to push you forward. Everyone has a different idea of self encouragement or what keeps them moving. For me its my parents, and hopefully being able to give back to them as much or even more Gods wiling. Another thing that encourages me is being able to say that I created that, and I’m able to help as much as I could.
It’s always good to practice self encouragement since some don’t have other people in their lives to cheer them on and push them to better themselves, and that’s okay. Maybe others don’t understand your purpose and your God given talent. When it comes to that from my experiences, you must be understanding since it’s your vision not theirs. Learn to always encourage yourself, be the person you need to get your goals done.
Now not to contradict myself, even though I have something to focus on to help motivate me, sometimes it’s really hard especially in the beginning. One way that I motivate myself in times like that is by repeating positive affirmations. Three that I love to say is
- My ideas and dreams are possible
- With enough faith and action my dreams will come true
- I am more than my fears
In closing, having self encouragement is hard, but having faith that everything will turn out okay along with putting in the work needed to succeed will help with any obstacle in your way. Remember we woke up for a reason.
