Believe in Yourself: Unleashing the Power Within 

Shaina Tranquilino

January 13, 2024

In a world constantly bombarded with pressures and expectations, it's easy to lose sight of our own potential. Doubts creep in, insecurities take hold, and we find ourselves questioning whether we have what it takes to succeed. However, amidst this chaos, one essential lesson remains unchanged - the incredible strength that lies within us when we believe in ourselves.

The Power of Self-Belief: Believing in yourself is not just a cliché; it's a fundamental principle that can shape our lives. When we trust in our abilities and have faith in our dreams, doors open, opportunities arise, and obstacles become stepping stones towards growth.

Self-belief is like a beacon that guides us through challenging times. It fuels determination, resilience, and perseverance – qualities often required on the path to success. It provides the motivation to overcome setbacks, learn from failures, and keep moving forward.

Building Self-Belief: Developing self-belief requires conscious effort and continuous practice. Here are some strategies to cultivate an unshakeable belief in yourself:

1. Challenge negative self-talk: Recognize your inner critic and consciously replace self-doubt with positive affirmations. Remind yourself of past achievements and acknowledge your strengths.

2. Set achievable goals: Start small by setting realistic goals that align with your aspirations. Accomplishing these milestones will boost your confidence and reinforce your belief in your capabilities.

3. Surround yourself with positivity: Surrounding yourself with supportive individuals who uplift you can significantly impact your self-belief. Seek out mentors or join communities where you can find encouragement and inspiration.

4. Celebrate every win: Embrace even the smallest victories along your journey as they serve as proof that progress is being made. Each accomplishment strengthens self-belief further and propels you forward.

5. Step out of your comfort zone: Growth lies outside our comfort zones. Embrace new challenges, take calculated risks, and embrace the unknown. Each experience will reinforce your belief in your ability to adapt and thrive.

Benefits of Self-Belief: Believing in yourself has numerous benefits beyond personal growth:

1. Improved mental well-being: Having faith in ourselves boosts our self-esteem and reduces anxiety. It allows us to face life's challenges with a positive mindset and navigate difficult situations more effectively.

2. Increased resilience: Self-belief empowers us to bounce back from failures and setbacks, transforming them into learning opportunities instead of roadblocks.

3. Enhanced creativity: When we believe in ourselves, we are more likely to explore uncharted territories, challenge norms, and think outside the box – fostering innovation and creativity.

4. Inspiring others: Our self-belief radiates outwardly, inspiring those around us to have faith in their own abilities. By leading by example, we create a ripple effect of empowerment within our communities.

In a world that can often be discouraging and unpredictable, believing in oneself becomes an anchor that brings clarity amidst chaos. Cultivating self-belief is not just about achieving personal success but also about embracing one's true potential and making a positive impact on the world around us.

Remember, you are capable of greatness! Believe in yourself, harness your inner strength, and embark on a journey where impossibilities become possibilities. The power lies within you; all you need to do is trust it!

imagine, say, Bunnyx went back to Origins Season 1 and pulled Gabriel aside as he was considering picking up the Hawkmoth mantle and showed him, "Look, Gabriel. If you continue on this path, you WILL succeed in getting the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculous. You WILL make a wish. But getting there will tear you apart. You will lose what humanity you have, you will literally rot away from the inside, spend the last months of your life in agonizing pain, Nathalie and Adrien (the only two people in your life you can even pretend to care about) will spit on your name and Nathalie will grow to despise you so much she will attempt to kill you. And your wish? It will NEVER bring Emilie back. You won't even be able to bring yourself to do it, because you'll realize that you've become everything that she hated and never wanted you to be. Emilie WILL STAY DEAD, and in the end, all you will be able to wish for is an end to your now-miserable life. All this gamble will win you is your grave."

idk I just don't think Gabriel's response to that would be "oh yay! I win!"

#honestly I'm a firm believer in Gabriel's win condition being ''Emilie is revived'' #if Emilie was revived in any capacity i would agree that he won. no matter what. even if she hated him even if he died #if emilie lives then gabriel wins #because that was his Only Goal #but emilie didn't live. so i dont know how this could be a win for him yknow? #the only 'positive' part of his wish was saving nathalie. but nathalie would never be dying in the first place if it werent for his actions #he won the battle in a sense on a purely technical level but he absolutely lost the war and achieved none of his goals #ml s5 spoilers #ml re-creation #re-creation spoilers #ml recreation #recreation spoilers

AU where Light keeps turning down everyone at To-Oh because he's already in a relationship. But no one believes him. No one has ever seen him with anyone on a date. He goes to all classes, helps at the NPA, no free time. His friends and family tell him to honestly tell them if he's single and just making stuff up to avoid dating.

Thing is, Light does have a boyfriend. A partner. It's L. Except he can't tell them because security reasons TM.

Sayu: "I'm talking about a real person, bro. Not some waifu character in a game."

Sachiko: "Bring them home, Light. I'll believe you then. Before that, have you met our neighbor's cousin Kaoru?"

----

Light: "You. You are booking a ticket to Japan this December." L: "But I like being Light-kun's secret online waifu."

#death note #lawlight #light yagami #l lawliet #Light Yagami has a boyfriend and no one believes him because his boyfriend is a security concerned cryptid #thats the AU #Misa: I need to see which woman is so good that you think she's better than me. Such a person doesn't exist. Tell him Rem! #Takada: Is this person more well connected than me? Better suited to stand by your side as we achieve our ambition? I refuse to believe it. #Mikami: I doubt they understand your ideals better than me. Such a person does not exist! #Light: ..... I am starting to doubt he exists myself now #L: But I like being Light-kun's secret online waifu.

tsukumo yuki joins the fight!

[id: It’s a redraw of the panel where Tsukumo joins the fight between Choso and Kenjaku, her shikigami hovering in the air behind her while the barrier has broken. She’s drawn with tan skin and long blond hair with her brown roots visible. Her outfit has been modified slightly so that she wears a black body suit and green baggy pants, and she’s depicted as more muscular than she is in the manga. On her left arm, she has a tattoo sleeve filled with flowers and a fish, and her earlobes are also stretched though she doesn’t wear any earrings. /end id]

#ok so there’s actually a long thought process behind her earlobes #cuz originally I was gonna give her a bunch of piercings but then I thought about it more #and had an idea about her and Geto #I don’t wanna ramble in the tags but it boils down to Buddha and someone who falsely believes they’ve achieved enlightenment #vs someone who’s actually found their purpose #jjk 204 #jjk spoilers #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #nibeul art #tsukumo yuki

thinking about how the Sumeru Archon Quest can be read as a metaphor for Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship and their progression and going crazy

Alhaitham is present during the quest, whereas Kaveh is not, and this causes Alhaitham to question why Kaveh was not present in saving Sumeru. Relating this to their thesis, although it made many bounds for Sumeru’s understanding of ancient languages and architecture which held promise for betterment of the future, it was abandoned before completion due to their clashing of views and personal attacks of each other. Alhaitham repeatedly questioning why Kaveh was missing hints that Kaveh should have been a part of the Archon-saving plan, in that, Kaveh was missing from the betterment of Sumeru. Once again, an opportunity passed by for them uniting for a mutually agreed cause. This is due to the dissonance between them and their lack of successful communication.

In the Archon Quest, Alhaitham is present, ready for reconciliation, to work together, whereas Kaveh is missing, unaware of the chance of reconciliation. Kaveh believes that Alhaitham deliberately stirred trouble in Sumeru, rather than saving it, due to his flawed perception of Alhaitham – just as he believes that Alhaitham wants something in return for allowing Kaveh to live in his house, rather than it being an invitation for reconciliation, due to his flawed perception of Alhaitham.

This, in turn, creates a space in the narrative for the two to join together of their own accord, however, the two need to be in the same mindset for reconciliation. As established in Kaveh's Hangout and A Parade of Providence, this can be brought about by the mutual understanding that their clashes do not stem from overall differences in thinking, but their way of communication. Rather than their relationship being based on the opposition of their thinking, it should be based upon the potential that can be borne from identifying good in the balancing of viewpoints – which their thesis had achieved.

Their development as individuals ultimately lies within the other as they possess what the other lacks in order to fully complete their understanding of each other, and themselves. Alhaitham is the grounding for Kaveh’s ideals and the push for him to prioritise himself in his pursuit for happiness for “all” (as established within a parade of providence), whereas Kaveh is the breach in Alhaitham’s rationality and allows him to understand the sensibility of others around him, enabling Alhaitham to possess an enhanced version of his truth.

(Update: For more analyses like this, the essay this is taken from is now uploaded! It can be accessed here and here as as a pdf <3)

#alhaitham #kaveh #haikaveh #kavetham #haikaveh meta #i love overthinking so much #but really kaveh being missing from the archon quest but being the Main Character of a parade of providence is so poignant #the first thing alhaitham does when kaveh returns is ask and then demand to know where kaveh was and what he was doing #and kaveh is convinced that alhaitham has done something nefarious in sumeru #and then in the cutscene afterwards alhaitham asks about kaveh’s whereabouts AGAIN #like what was all that about #if not to show that alhaitham believed that kaveh should have been a part of the narrative #but they are not on the same page!!! #their history shows what they can achieve when their views are aligned and balanced #i am BEGGING we get an instance like that again

a world without you

Pairing: Leona Kingscholar x gn!reader

Synopsis: When Leona hears the Shroud brothers' plan, he thinks back to his herbivore, and how their existence has changed so much for him.

Tags: spoilers up to Ch 6!!!, established relationship, angst but fluff, drama, bot proofread

Word count: 878

Notes: this can be read as my view of leona's character, so please accept my leona brainrot <3 just some thoughts I had when I read ch 6. also leona might be a little ooc but it's his internal thoughts so I like to think he's more emotional :3

"It needs to reset before we can start a new game."

Shocked expressions were exchanged across the room as the implications of the younger Shroud's plan slowly settled on everyone's mind.

Leona couldn't help but think that, if the opportunity had been given to him a year ago, he'd likely have accepted whatever the robot kid was going for.

Leona always felt that he had been cheated in life. Ever since he was young, he was constantly compared to his older brother, who was seen as the epitome of success in their family, the perfect heir to the throne. Everyone would constantly praise his brother's achievements while dismissing his own accomplishments as trivial. It didn't matter that he was working hard to prove himself, that he could wield such powerful magic as a child.

He often wondered why he had to be born, if he was only meant to stay in another person's shadow to make them seem brighter in contrast.

No matter how hard he studied, how mature he acted, or how strong his magic was, it was all pointless. The ghostly whispers of the palace staff continued, and the judging remarks from the council intensified.

He was born as the second prince.

And he was destined to forever be just that—second.

When it finally clicked for him, he stopped trying. Why make an effort in anything, when time and time again, he had given his all only to end up with nothing? They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results. Despite what others might say, Leona was incredibly brilliant, with a sharp mind fit to be a wise ruler. He knew, without a doubt, that it was pointless to continue down the road of insanity.

Instead, he continued down the path of sloth, eventually finding everything, the entire world, pointless. He found himself skipping classes and taking naps whenever he could, hiding away from the world where he would never be able to stand under the sun, but at least comforted by the serene embrace of his dreams.

He had wanted to turn the world to sand and start over.

It had been a wild thought, but here the Shrouds were, proposing an entire reset of the world.

Leona's mind raced as he contemplated the consequences of such an ordeal. Indeed, he had always dreamed of a world where everyone had an equal chance to succeed, where people were not judged based on their social status, birth order, or magical ability. A world where he was no longer burdened by the expectations of his family, where he was free to be who he truly was, a world where everyone was given a fair chance to succeed, and where no one was left behind.

And yet, without realising it, the thought of starting over in a new world had left his mind ever since you came into his life. You were everything he had ever wished for but never deserved in a partner—kind, caring, and endlessly supportive, always by his side despite his crude demeanour and harsh words. You showed him that there was meaning to living, opening his eyes to the people around him. He had friends who cared about him, incredible talent that could bring great changes, and most importantly, you, his dearest herbivore who shone like a beacon in the shadowed depths of his heart.

For the first time in his life, he felt truly content with what he had, despite all the flaws and problems that persisted.

He had never cared about resetting the world and losing everything he had to start anew. But it was a different story now.

What would happen to the people he cared about in this new world? What if he never met you? What if everything he had ever known and loved was erased? And what of the memories that he made at NRC with you, with Savanaclaw, and everyone else?

Leona's thoughts drifted to his memories of you, your fierce eyes staring directly into his, determined to befriend him; the quiet evenings you had spent together under the starry sky sharing stories and enjoying each other's company; the way you would instinctively lean into him for comfort; the dazzling smile that graced your face when you spotted him in a crowd.

He made up his mind then.

He didn't want, no, he wouldn't risk losing you. Your presence had given him the joy he had never experienced, the hope for a better day tomorrow, and he wouldn't give that up for anything. He would continue to work towards a fairer world, but he would do so without resetting everything that he had come to cherish.

He had learned to appreciate the people in his life. He had found happiness, despite the unfairness of the world. He knew that he had found something precious in this unfair world—someone who cherished him wholeheartedly for whatever he may be.

No, he doesn't want to reset the world.

"I'll grant you one thing. The world totally sucks as it is. But I don't think your new one would be any more to my taste. So I'm going to stick with this one. It's less of a pain."

#writing this made me realise vil and leona's characters really mirror each other #vil always works hard because he believes that that will increase his possibility of achieving his dreams #and meanwhile leona has stopped believing in hard work because his efforts have never gotten recognised #my boy's lost all hope #and for vil the film industry is something way more flexible than the royal family's views #so i feel like leona does respect vil and his hard work #just like he respects jamil's talents #hes so optimistic for everyone except himself #ok i wanna really give him a hug now #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland x reader #twst x reader #disney twisted wonderland #twst imagines #twst wonderland #leona kingscholar x reader #leona kingscholar #twisted wonderland leona #twst leona

"aang didn't tell katara to forgive just to let her anger out and let go" ?!?!?!?! litcheraclly the WHOLE false dichotomy presented by the narrative of the episode (using AANG as the primary mouthpiece) is forgiveness vs revenge like please watch the episode again and pay actual attention to the words coming out of aang's mouth.... so many tsr takes ignore the words in aang's mouth to interpret him more positively while putting words in zuko's mouth to view him more negatively, all the while pretending katara never said anything at all about HER OWN TRAUMA

#tsr actually manages to achieve some really profound nuance despite the limitations of the simplistic moral narrative its partly pushing #and yet the takes are SO fucking rancid my fucking beloathed forever #holly talks bs #aang critical #katara #zuko #i fully believe that if aang hadn't known or said shit about k and z hunting down yon rha she would've made the exact same choice #to not kill out of mercy but not forgive out of justice #because its not aang or even zuko that knows katara best #but katara that knows herself best #she did not almost lose herself in tsr #she FOUND herself #and to quote zuko #she did it on her own

I don't have a lot of confidence in my art, but Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter was one of the few things back in the day that got me to sit down & draw. I'm still really honored to be one of their guest artist for their 18th anniversary. You weren't always the best Roosterteeth, but thanks for inspiring this shy artist to keep drawing.

#pipart #roosterteeth #achievement hunter #probably my last roosterteeth post #digital art #dooleynotedgaming #despite all the horrible things they did there were still so many good people trying their best to make content to make people smile #i believe you cant judge a company by its people cos what you see on the surface is mostly corporate bullshit #but there are still a ton of artists and creators there that are genuinely kind and genuinely care about their audience and the work they d #take it from me who worked in EA the literally sewer of the gaming industry #there were so many good people there but in the end the decisions are all made by the higher ups and no one can do anything about it #they are still people who lost their jobs in what is current the worst time in the industry #so please be respectful and dont harrass them and if you can support them please do #rwby #camp camp #rvb #rooster teeth
