have more confidence in myself and my abilities

How I did it: Pretty much this is all I needed to overcome the faux obstacles my mind created to go forward with my GED preparations, and to move forward in my life. The day I went to go start the process to get my GED I noticed that I had this strange feeling that I never felt before I talked to my sister about it. The feeling wasn't nervousness, it wasn't worry or anxiety it was peaceful and my sister looked at me and said, "that's what they call confidence." That day I realized I am capable of having such a thing of confidence and to better myself instead of letting past demons drag me down. I have the ability to do whatever I want and the confidence to go out there and just do it.       

Lessons & tips: This kind of thing isn't something that someone can tell you how to do and do it for you. You have to reach the level of peace inside yourself, by yourself. Support from family and friends is always great, they'll keep cheering you on but it's up to you to keep on going for them and for yourself.        

Resources: Therapy helped me a lot to understand myself, family and friends were always there to catch me if I would fall. But in the end it was me that helped me achieve this.
