"With that attitude, you won’t get it. Instead, believe in yourself and always think positively. Give yourself a pep talk and tell yourself that you CAN do it!"
"Don’t those words bring on a much better feeling than 'I’ll never be good at that?' Acknowledging even the smallest step forward is very empowering."
