Believe In Yourself

When I was younger, I had many dreams. I wanted to be an astronomer, a ballerina, and then had a phase where I wanted to be a wedding dress designer! Each time I mentioned these goals to people, they would encourage me to do my best and try for them, but then there were others, they would give me reasons on why my dreams most likely would never happen for me. Isn't it crazy that you can have a million people cheer you on, but it only takes 1 or 2 negative thoughts to ruin someone's dream. I wonder why that is? 
Why do the negative thoughts stay in our minds so much more than the positive ones?  For me, this happened to me a lot growing up. I was too sensitive. I let people who really had no real part of my life, run my life. I think back and realize how silly that was. I never strived for those dreams because someone told me it would never work out. I regret some things, but I often say those mistakes led me to where I am today and right now I like where I am.
I have always loved creating things and finally last year decided to start up my boutique. I knew it would be hard and a lot of work and I made a valid point to NEVER listen to those negative people again. They tried to bring me down for whatever reason and I blocked them out. You can do anything you want when you put your heart and mind into it. It's very important to "surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams" because when things get hard, you need those people to help motivate you and tell you you can do it! Support is everything!
I hope whoever is reading this right now has a dream and decides to run with it. Never let anyone tell you you can't do it because you can! This is your life, you only have one, so make it GREAT! Live your dreams to the fullest! :)
