Timing:When you feel down.
When you’re feeling down, or when you feel like doubting yourself, take a look back at the times when you were able to overcome your own obstacles, rise up to the occasion, and make something happen. Recall that distinct feeling of invincibility, the feeling that you can make anything happen just because you were able to overcome your self-doubt. Remind yourself that you are a resilient person, and that you’re able to overcome adversities. You have proof, because you’ve done it before. At some point in your life, you were backed into a corner and didn’t give up. It’s just a different ring, but you’re facing the same foe. You can make it happen again.

Today, when I looked back I saw a young boy who was teased often for being emotional. A boy who was shattered for not being like others. At present, I feel proud that I was emotional. When my felllow peers took up basketball, I took up volunteering service.. I am proud I did so. Today, when my peers are frustrasted and taking pills for combating depression I am here happy and satisfied that I have found my true purpose and following. I feel accomplished and proud of my decisions.
