Self Defense and Belief

One of the most difficult things to achieve in your personal life is the ability to truly believe in yourself.

Evey one has personal experiences of self doubt, self confidence and self worth... There is no shortage of confusion in this area considering we live in a world were we have plenty of people who feed into our lack of value.

"You can't do that." "You're not worth it." "You're not good enough."

Words from others are one thing...but actions are another.

Ever have the action of abandonment from another? Lack of attention? Physical abuse even?

I believe in the power of language and the power of action. And just as others in life I too have been at the receiving end of such negativity...

But in those times, I remember those who have supported me...those who have stood by and believed in what I could accomplish and would achieve. Those are who I fight for and that is the root of self defense.

Self Defense to me is a right and a preservation of who I am so that I may have a chance to help better those who believe in me. That is giving back or paying forward.

Your fuel should lie in the thought of the actions of those who turned their backs... and the power of your words should be very clear. "Fuck 'em."

Self sufficiency is amazing, but you get a huge boost from remembering those who have stood by you.
