Reviewee Diaries #1

I need to let this out. I am sooooo not prepared for it. I know I have months to prepare, but I also have work and responsibilities to do. I keep on telling myself, Trust God. You can do it. Don't give up. Think positive. But you know, sometimes you just need MORE reminders, more words of wisdom, and a lot of inspiration to keep on pushing towards your goal.

So I succumed to the idea of google-ing some motivation (don't get me wrong, you don't google motivation, it's within you) Let me just rephrase that. I google-d some pieces of motivating pictures and quotes just to serve as reminders for me to keep going. I sound very desperate right now, but really... this strategy helps (at least for me...in college- and hopefully until now).

 It starts with a simple "I CAN do it." I can when I start saying I can.

And yet other motivational phrases that remind me to keep going.

Like most people, I DREAM AND HOPE TO MAKE MY GOALS HAPPEN.

That's when TRUST enters. When you dream, you've got to trust that the universe will conspire to make your dreams and goals come true. When you trust, you do not rely on trusting your instincts or trusting your luck... you've got to trust him (Tatay God).

You need to go further and deeper than trust, and that's FAITH. You've got to believe that you will make it. You've got to believe that he will never let you down. You've got to believe that you're not alone in this. You've got to believe that you can beat your fears. This is super hard though, sometimes it works but when the inferior self blurs your motivation and optimism, it's so hard to believe you can make it. But the best weapon is just around the corner, PRAY. When in doubt, pray. When you're happy, pray. When you're down, pray. When you fail to believe, pray. 

I remember hearing the phrase "If you can dream it, you can do it," from a movie I used to watch with my dorm mates back in college. We kept on writing this phrase in our post-its to remind us to study more and never give up. Guess, it's here again, hunting me, no, make that inspiring me to keep on going. Maybe, I can and maybe, I will. I hope that in the coming months, I gain so much optimism and positivity that I will learn to say I CAN AND I WILL MAKE IT.

Writing this rant wasn't so bad after all. It somehow feels good to vent my emotions here. At least I can go through this post when I need inspiration and motivation. Or maybe, this is just part one, and there'll be more parts of this because I sure need TONS and TONS of inspiration, graces, and positivity to make this work.

I can do it. I can and will succeed. I will make this goal happen. I will trust Tatay God on this. My faith in him is bigger than my fear. I can and I will. (Now repeat this everyday. Make it a habit!)
