The BiG but!

There was always a 'but' when I thought of starting a blog. In fact, this blog would not have been present if I had not overcome this 'but'. The truth is, I was afraid of the criticism and judgement others may have about me; and so whenever the idea would come, I had an excuse to doubt myself and eventually never did start the blog. And to think, this doubt started just because someone told me that 'I did not have the correct English to become a journalist'. Yes! I had low self esteem; and for that reason I went into a shell and kept myself hidden. That's when all the doubts flew in! but what if no one ever views it, but your English is not good enough, but people will laugh at you, and so they kept coming.

I presume you must be asking yourself, how did she overcome this? Well! It took a lot of thinking, courage and analysis of myself. Overcoming that barrier of being afraid to do what I had a desire to. Then the thoughts starting flowing, BUT what if I can do this blog and people like it? BUT what if with this blog I can help change the lives of others? BUT what if this is my opportunity to show that language barriers cannot stop you from achieving your goals and dreams in life? I realised that others may not always be supportive of my ideas but with determination and persistence, me and YOU are capable of reaching our goals.

Ha! You got it now right?
Don't ever allow a negative thought, comment or any form of doubt, limit you from achieving your dreams. For every if and but, always know and believe that there is a possibility. No matter the situation you're in, the things you may not have and the barriers that may seem impossible to break, YOU can. And there's nothing that can stop you. Literally!
