Bet on Yourself

In the beginning, they will criticize you
They'll judge you
They'll say you need more work-life balance
They'll say it's too risky

They'll say it can't be done
They'll say you can't see clearly
But they can't see your vision
They can't see your vision

They don't know your heart
They will never understand how much it means to you
Work hard and stay focused on that meaning
Stay focused on your mission
Believe in yourself and lead with integrity

In the end, they'll ask how you did it
And when they do
You'll be able to guide them to a higher level
You'll be the example
The example of perseverance

The example of believing in yourself
The example of never losing sight of your vision
The example of blocking out all the noise
And remaining dedicated to your dream, your purpose

I always felt like I needed other people to believe in me
But it wasn't until I started believing in me, that I started going places
When I started to back myself
Other people started to back me
When I realized my worth, others saw my worth

Now, I know I don't need others to do anything
Or achieving anything in my life
It's great to have support
But it's better to have belief in yourself
It's great to have support
But it's better to have mental strength

It's great to have people in your corner
But it's better to be able to fight when life has you cornered
I am ready for any fight, any challenge life has in store
And I will always back myself

If you don't believe in you, who's going to?
If you don't back you, who's going to?
And if you don't believe it is going to work out
Guess what? It won't

If you have even a speck of doubt in your mind
It will hold you back from reaching your goals
It will hold you back from your true potential
It will hold you back from giving it your all

And because of that
You'll never know how great you could have been
You can develop that belief
You develop it by doing, by taking action
And, yes, you will fail

But each time you get back up
You take one more step forward
And that step you take forward is another step in belief
Keep climbing and growing that belief
Until you reach the place where there's no doubt

Only you know how far you will go in life
Because only you know how much you are willing to give up
In order to claim the prizes life has to offer you
Life has those prizes waiting for you

You can be the champion of your own life
You will win in life when you back yourself
When you bet on yourself
When you go all in on your dream
When you stop holding back, and go all out

You must know, at the very least, that you are capable of anything
Others before you have done it, so logically it is possible
You just have to believe
Trust, have faith
And be willing to do whatever it takes to get there

You have to back yourself
Nothing else will pay better
The only way to win big in life is to bet on yourself
If you're not willing to back you, no one will

Believe you're capable
Because guess what? You are
You are more than capable
You just need to back yourself and take consistent action
Find that spark you need and turn it into a flame
Turn the flame into an inferno of passion
And let that passion drive you to greatness

Listen, some successful people aren't that smart
They just believe in themselves, they back themselves
And they are willing to work for what they want
You don't need the fancy college degree
You don't need the wealthy parents
You need belief

You can make up for lack of education with belief and hard work
Everything will fall into place, trust it will
Trust yourself and it will
Life has prizes waiting for you

You can be the champion of your own life
You will win in life when you back yourself
When you bet on yourself
When you go all in on your dream
When you stop holding back, and go all out
