Let's put the negativity aside and focus on what needs to be done. 'Success' is a broad term. There is no universal definition of success, it varies from person to person considering their overall circumstances. We can all more or less agree that confidence plays a key role in it, and confidence comes from belief. Even our most minute decisions and choices in life are a result of believing in some specific outcome that we have not observed yet. That self-confidence and belief and yourself, in your capabilities and strengths will make you work towards your goal. Keep in mind that whatever you believe in is what you live for. At the end of the day, each of us believed in something that made us thrive, made us work and move forward. How strongly you hold onto your belief will decide how successful you will become. Choose not to become a bum or raise a bum either!
