"I Want It Real Bad... And I'm Working Hard For It...But There's Always A Little Doubt Inside: Do I Really Have What It Takes?" - This is the status I've posted in my FB today.
One of my friend replied and says, "if you believe you can, then you can". I can't disagree but neither can I 100% agree because there's always an 'if' follow after that phrase. Because it is not about doubting oneself but rather whether we have the self realisation about what we can do and what not.
Take singing for example, years after years we watch American Idol and each year there are thousands of people try out We have witnessed many who have strong belief and confidence in themselves that they are the next American Idol and they can sing well. But the fact is many of them are tone deaf and can't even carry a tune decently and yet, they believe they are good. Even their family and friends also believe that they are good.
Believing and having the confidence is one thing but at least you must have the basic requirement for certain things and then you try to improve and make it better. However, if you are tone deaf and people cannot even catch what song you are singing from start to end, how do you expect anymore from that.
We really have to be realistic and be humble to accept the fact and the family and friends shouldn't be giving false hope and encouragement blindly out of love.
The very fact is no matter how bad you want to be something or someone and no matter how hard you work towards it, if you don't have what it takes, you just don't have it. Period.
