Invictus: The Power of Believing



 


             Every now and then, I post something on my blog, and all of you must be wondering what triggers me to write these posts, because certainly I don't write on a monthly basis and all... I write when there is a need for me to write, the need to express myself, to share my feelings and thoughts, and in this case, the burning of fire spirit burning away the sorrows and dismay..
The situation I am now is quite the depressing situation as what I had planned to be happening now, isn't happening... but what keeps me going is that, I am holding on, stronger than ever to my faith, my believe, of what is the real aim, the finishing line of this long marathon... and this strong believe is the thing that will drive me there, towards the real success, even through the toughest moments... So now, I'm telling to those who are reading this, that DON'T STOP BELIEVING   (better than Justin Bieber's Never Say Never..Haha) because the Power of Believing is the only power you'll ever need.

             To have confidence in something you desire in your life is easy but when all odds proves otherwise, it deteriorates your confidence to the point that you stop believing that you are able to achieve your desire. Cheated, defeated, or even by the lack of luck, it turns you down. It made you think again, whether what you desire will ever happen. On whether your goals actually is impossible to be accomplish, on whether are you good enough to be able to meet your desire in the first place. Well, I say screw those questions because nothing could stop you from achieving your goals, not the people around you, not the lack of luck and especially, not a piece of paper that says u failed. Because god made you, the great person that you are. Great and special in your own ways..You could do anything in the world, as long as you keep on believing, believing that you can achieve what you desire for in life. The more you believe, the more you want for your believe to happen.. It all starts with a simple believe.. And not to believe or to give up on your belief is the worst thing you could ever do. Don't let the world deny what you are capable of, as you are capable of doing what you believe in, strive for what you believe in and deny the world that turned their back on you.



         Challenges and obstacles are unavoidable in every journey.. But remember this, each and every obstacle makes you stronger, stronger than any of those who didn't face the challenges you face, you are stronger, better than them. And when you GET BACK UP, and keep on believing in your desire, nothing can stop you then. Not even the universe. Every time an obstacle hits you, get back up and strive and strive again towards your believe.. because you want to make your believe, your dream, a reality. An achievement that you will always treasure. And at the end of the day, you gain more than those who got the easy way, and it makes you better than any of them. Never give up, never stop believing in your dreams because giving up will result to nothing. But when you believe in your dreams, it makes you stronger, and the believe will drive you towards your dreams, crushing all the obstacles that lies in your way. Nothing can stop you when you believe in  your dreams so strong. You will do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. It's the only power anyone needs, the power to keep on going no matter what it takes and no matter what blocks your way. It's the power that STRENGTHENS YOUR MIND and your will to success.The strong believe ignites the passion in you, makes you want to fight till the end in order to make what you believe you can achieve, a reality. Remember , why you set foot on this quest in the first place, on why do you want to do , what you do... which is to achieve your dreams... And again, it all starts with a simple, strong believe. That is why all religion requires you to believe, to have faith, in any circumstances.... as to believe or to have faith, can and will direct you to the right direction... And the stronger the belief is, or the faith is, the clearer and easier the journey will be. 
                    
        
          Exams, assessment, test and all of those crap are the things that are often be the things that judge you whether you are good or not. And often these craps are the thing that crushes your dreams. They smack you in the face saying that you are not good enough for them and show your bad result. It hurts so bad that you lose hope of achieving your goal... ha ha, too bad for you.... It hurts doesn't it??... Well, I just went through that stage.. I sat for a major exam and I didn't get the result that I wanted, not even close... The result crushed my dream.. After a day or two of mourning (haha), one thing kept bugging me, my belief that I can be successful in the future still stand strong though my results prove me otherwise. Then I realized the BIGGER PICTURE, and that this silly exam is actually nothing, and it won't stop me from achieving the success that I believe I can achieve.  And though given a hard task to be executed, the power of believing didn't fail me.. I   made researches, ask around, a little reading and I found a clear path that will bring me to the success that I believe in. Though it is not the best path, but in the end, it still delivers the same thing even if I scored the exam. What is important is that I will get what I want, no matter how rough the road may be. The strong believe will drive me through any challenges that lie in front of me.. (FYI, I'm taking ACCA which is actually a very good thing).. This purely shows that I didn't need the perfect score for my exam, I didn't need any scholarships to achieve my dream, all I needed was the will, to not stop believing in my dreams , as the power, will bring me towards my success. The failure? Just suck it up and move on, make the best out of it. If I didn't believe in my dream and hold on to it, I will be just the same as those losers who gave up and stop believing in their dreams, having nothing but regret.... My advice is, don't be like those losers, and continue believing in your dreams because that simple believe will bring you to places you never imagine you'll be... It will drive you ON AND ONWARDS 



        The power of believing had helped me for as long as I can remember, and it had brought me to where I am now... It might not be the best of place, but I'm surely on the right track towards my success... This simple yet great power can and should be applied to each and every single one of us.. Be it in a debate, coaching a debating team, an election, an exam, an interview, in jobs, in a relationship, you say it... all of it can be what you want it to be, as long as you believe in it... Trust me, I learnt from the best, myself, because there is no one better to teach you than yourself... All of those who have achieved success, they all started with the simple believe, and it will grew to something bigger..Be it presidents, scientist, inventors, or even billionaires... Some even succeeded when everyone else thinks it's impossible, nobody would believe the creation of telephones, aeroplanes or even internet back in the days, but the simple believe of a few people made it happened... the owe it first to their strong believe that they can prove everyone wrong and that they can succeed..It all start with a simple believe....In the end, when you have mastered the power of believing, you actually had grasp the most important thing, which is to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, and when you have attained that, you can set sail to wherever your goals may be... You Are The Master of Your Fate, You Are The Captain of Your Soul..


Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
