You must believe if you want to achieve


Five years ago, I remember walking in the locker room after a game. I was so disappointed with myself. I did not play up to my expectations, and I felt like I betrayed myself, my team and my coach. I went up to my locker, opened it and there it was...A quote that I had printed and put inside, to help me rise when I fall. The quote said "Never let yesterday's disappointment overshadow tomorrow's dreams". I do not know who said it, but whoever did, I think it was a brilliant thought.

Up to this day, that quote echoes in my mind, every single time I fail. Every single time when I feel I am not worth it enough to achieve my dreams. Every single time when people belittle my goals, just because I made a mistake and delayed my success.

During the last couple years I've read a hundred stroies and lots of books about different people and their lives. All of them had three things in common-they had a clear goal, never gave up, and went beyond what is considered a successful life!

And if you read this, thinking...bla bla...just empty words. I will give you an example-an example that to me is really influential and trustworthy. An example that makes you throw your doubts aside and gives you strength to fight till you get where you want to be!

Here it is...


He failed in business in '31.
He ran as a state legislator and lost in '32.
He tried business again in '33 and failed again.
His sweetheart died in '35.
He had a nervous breakdown in '36.
He ran for state elector in '40 after he regained his health.
He was defeated for Congress in '43, defeated again for Congress in '48, defeated when he ran for the Senate in '55 and defeated for vice presidency of the United States in '56.
He ran for Senate again in '58 and lost.

THIS MAN NEVER QUIT. He kept trying till the last. In 1860, this man -- Abraham Lincoln -- was elected president of the United States.

...conclusion is that you must believe if you want to achieve!
