Yes You Can
Date: July 18, 2022 (Monday)
How's your life lately? Are you feeling blue again? Or perhaps doubtful of your journey?
As of the moment, you might be thinking so much about the spins and turns of life again. You might be scrolling through your social media accounts and seeing your batch mates living the life of their dreams. A lot of things have changed in other people's lives as well as the community you're in, yet you're still there, not knowing what to do and where to continue in the journey that you're supposed to walk with. Sometimes, the feeling that it gives you will make you feel down and it will suffocate your mind. You might then start questioning yourself:
"Will I ever make it?"
"Will I ever reach the goals I have in mind?"
"Will my life gets better?"
It's inevitable to think of all these things, especially since you're still figuring out what you must do in life to achieve your goals. Life is like a complex puzzle that no matter how much you try to solve the whole picture, it's just so hard.
The truth is, life will always be complicated and it will continue to get complicated as we age. No sorcery could magically make our lives feel better. There's no magic dust that could transform us into the person we wanted to become in a snap. We can't just wish and it will be granted like when you wanted it to have.
Because of the journey, you're in that's not an easy one, you start questioning your potential. You start to mock yourself for being like this and that. You try to hurt yourself through your words. You're thinking of trying to be someone you're not just to achieve what others have achieved. You're even starting to make yourself down in the process. Howbeit, just be easy on yourself because, in the end, it's you who will get so affected by it.
Perhaps, by that thought, you start to doubt your journey and even your potential. If you start to feel down since you're feeling pressured or even seeing no progress at all, fret not and instill these words in your mind:
Yes You Can Achieve Your Goals
You have the potential to reach the goals that you have been aiming for yourself. Always remind yourself that nothing is impossible in life as long as you work for it and never give up on achieving it. You can achieve your goals, in His time. Never be tamed by the negative whispers in your head, you're more than that. You deserve so much in life and you will achieve them.
Yes You Can Become a Better One
Every day is an opportunity to become better. Believe that you can, take risks, and don't be afraid to fail. One day, you will wake up and realize how much you've grown.
Yes You Can Make It
Whatever desires you have in your heart, believe that you can make it. Don't bother comparing your journey to anyone, but yourself. You can make it, just trust the process and do your thing.
Now, here's a catch: Life is a process.
You need to understand that life is not about magic where you can be like that in a blink of an eye. Again, no. So, you have to understand that there's no shortcut to achieving what you wanted to achieve in life. Just go with the flow in life and learn to play with the waves instead of being sad about the things that are happening.
Always remind yourself that a lot of people believe in you. Always believe that the people around you especially those who truly care for you are wishing you success. Most especially, believe that you can achieve things and you will be unstoppable.

Chasing the dreams is a good thing, but we should also enjoy the journey of these. The real amusement lies in the journey. Most drams lose their attraction when we chase them. So, enjoy the journey and always appreciate the whatever you have.
