Who do you see looking back? Is it the person you want to be? Or is there someone else you were meant to be? The person you should have been, but fell short of?
Is someone telling you "You can't" or "You won't?"
Because you can.
Believe that love is out there.
Believe that dreams come true everyday.
Because they do.
Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power.
Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family or from the quiet nobility of living a good life.
Believe that dreams come true everyday.
Because they do.
So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy, because you deserve to be.
Believe that.
And believe that dreams come true everyday.
Because they do. " -One Tree Hill
I think that a lot of people only tend to believe in the things that they can see, or things that are tangible. They forget to believe that there are things in the world that are true and real. When someone breaks your heart, a friend betrays you, or when you fail, you want to believe that the world is a bad place or that you somehow deserved that pain. And when that pain buries your belief in true love, true friendship, or true happiness, you create the idea that this is how life really is. BUT IT'S NOT. The quote above from One Tree Hill really emphasizes the power of believing in the things that you cannot see. When you believe that true love is out there or that you deserve to be happy, then you will do yourself a GREAT favor. Because if you stop believing, you stop trying. And I know that it's hard to always be optimistic, but in the long run, staying positive will increase your self esteem. Something as simple as believing can have a tremendous impact on your life. So believe in yourself. Never stop trying. Because you deserve to be happy. Believe that with all your heart. <3
