Belief > Doubt

"It is easier to believe than to doubt." ~E.D. Martin

Indeed it is. We all want to believe in the good things in life, because it gives us hope. Hope that one day we will accomplish our dreams. Why live a life filled with doubt, which spawns negativity? Negativity is a deadly disease that drags people down, barring them from all the good in life. When there is no more fun, no more belief, it is harder to continue our journey through life, and makes it harder for those around us.

“But being positive takes so much energy! And today sucked, I can’t do that. No way, no how.”

There are plenty of days when I fall flat on my face and don’t feel like getting back up. That’s why my mom gave me the nickname “Eeyore.” I was her little black raincloud.

I’m starting to realize that counting my blessings gets me back on track. For starters, my friends and family. They’ve always got my back, and I’m so thankful I can go to them and vent. And then after that we crack jokes and laugh. And we learn. We get better, and we move on. So stop taking yourself so seriously, and laugh! It’s not life or death, whether you’ve been fired or failed a test. There’s always a reason for it, and it’s usually for the sake of learning. And the more you’ve learned, the easier it is to believe in yourself.

Life is just so much more enjoyable when you are laughing. We all have our challenges, and we all have each other to vent to. So keep your eyes on the prize, and believe. Because with a little help from your friends, you can do it, and have fun at the same time. And trust me, if “Eeyore” can do it, you can.
