“Believe in yourself, even when the whole world doubts you.” ~Sri Chimoy

I want you to do one little thing for yourself today—something that I know will transform your life & help you do anything your heart desires! It doesn’t even cost one dollar, it’s totally FREE! You can’t buy it in a store or bid for it on E-bay. Are you ready for it? Here goes, I want you to: BELIEVE in yourself! Just like punk rock and hip hop has taught us to… and I know you know what I’m talking about!

Now you probably just went ‘ugh! Believe in myself??! Is she crazy?!’ (answer = maybe I am just a little nutty, I prefer quirky though, ha!) but tell that little negative voice to ‘shhhhhh’ I want you to pretty please give it a go… you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. We’ll do it together!

“If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” ~Vincent Van Gogh

If you’re like I was, it may feel a little awkward to begin with and you may not even feel like you do believe but the more you practice something the better you get at it right? So let’s get to it! To get started, think of one thing you like about yourself or feel that you’re good at. Are you a good friend? Can you cook an awesome veggie dish? Can you make kick ass origami animals? Can you do a killer grip job on your skate deck? Are you a whizz at changing your guitar strings? Are you good at problem solving? Working on cars? Painting? Belly dancing? There’s got to be one thing! Don’t dismiss your talents. Identifying and knowing that you totally rule at one thing will boost your confidence and remind you of your capabilities and from there you can start ruling your Universe.

The following songs inspire me to believe in myself. What songs inspire you?

Life of My Own by the Cro-Mags

Bet Against Me, You Lose by Death By Stereo

Indestructible by Rancid

Creator by Santigold

Spaceship by Kanye West

Sing A Long Forever byBouncing Souls (these guys give me a reason to care)

Have a happy day!
