Believe

How many times in life people came up to us saying, “I believe you can do it”? That line has become so popular until it lost its meaning, thus we think when people say that out loud, it could (only) be spoken out of pity or obligation.

Well, I have learned that in (my) life, there are more people believe in me more than I do to myself. They constantly throwing facts about what I could do, and I’d instantly disagree. But of course, they’d keep doing that to me (out of love), until I finally can see it for myself.

Who are those people again? Those who’d say, “I believe you can do it.” Those who’d see us to the deepest of our souls. Those who’d go extra miles (just) to listen to what you have in mind. Those who are present and ready to help when you need a little bit of a push.

When you have that kind of people in your life, most probably the wisest thing to do is to listen, and cherish them. Keep them close. Who knows.. there will be times in the future when they need you to say it back to them. “I believe you can do it.”

    In my case, when I said to someone that he/she could do something, I really believed in their capacity of doing it, even if it meant stretching them to the max. And whenever someone said to me that I could do it, I believed that he/she believed I could do it, and they’re sure about it.

    Imagine if GOD said you could do it… Would you disagree? :)

    Nice, but of course our friend and beloved ones would say things like that. It’s good to hear, but nothing to be taken seriously.. :D
