One sentence I hate to hear spoken is “I am not cool”. It just doesn’t help anyone. It proves you have no self-confidence, and you prefer not believing in yourself compared to the alternative options. I might not be a popular kid or whatever, but I still think I am cool for who I am. Sure, it sounds like I am an egomaniac, but I prefer it to the alternative. But this whole problem can be fixed with a single word: Believe.

We have all had dreams and goals in our life, at one point in time. But very few people get to live those dreams, because -- obviously -- obstacles come. Some friend betrayed you, something didn’t work out. And the frustration for those people becomes overwhelming. But then some just don’t put it into action because there’s a fear of failing involved. If they fail, they will lose confidence. They will stop and never start again. But you have the opportunity to get your hopes up again, you have to. You have to learn that you will be disappointed in life, because you will be disappointed often. But you can turn that disappointment into drive or just stack up and destroy you.

Everyone is afraid that they are not good enough in some context. Not good enough, not smart enough, not funny enough, not rich enough. You may have that feeling right now in your life. We all feel that, and we all will feel it one day. It’s still not an excuse to start doing what you are doing. “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs had founded Apple. He had created the Macintosh, and his company was worth about $2 Billion. He was only 30. And then he got fired. How can you get fired from your own company, you ask? That’s not important. What is important is that he did a lot during the time when he wasn’t at Apple. Ever hear of Pixar Animation Studios? Steve Jobs created it. But do you think Steve Jobs let the stress and disappointment destroy him? I’ll let you answer that for yourself.

What is an area of life that you really want to improve? Something you want to improve. And if you have no desire to be cool, stop complaining about being not cool! If you don’t want to be the popular kid, stop telling yourself it’s bad that you aren’t! You have to see what the problem is, without making it such a big and horrific deal that you give up.

Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one, according to Google. But courage goes deeper than that. Courage is stepping up and doing a task when everyone else is afraid to do it. Courage is showing a great deal of bravery and responsibility. Courage is doing the right thing for you, in every circumstance, no matter what the cost. Courage is knowing what and what not to be afraid of.
