You Got This

When did we stop believing we could do anything we put our minds to?

My newest conquest is trying to take the GMAT and get into a part-time MBA program.

The thing is, I’m not very good at math.

I wasn’t that bad at math. I studied hard and made good grades in college, but it just looms there every time I have to add something or God-forbid divide it.

The other night, I was looking through deciding what I needed to do. There were two college-aged kids at a table nearby so I decided to ask them about the Atlanta college scene. Turns out there were both students at Southern Poly and one had even taken the GMAT.

The girl told me, “Don’t worry. You got this.”

Then I realized that was just the boost I needed.

So, I wonder: When did we forget that we can do anything we put our minds to?
Naturally there are some things that are outside the realm of will power.

I will never be a British royal.

Astronaut is pretty much out, too.

But working towards an additional degree is within my realm of potential, I just needed someone else to think that as well.

If there is something you’re on the border of doing, just know that you can do this.

If you know someone else or even see someone else that is questioning themselves, tell them that they can do it.

Regardless, just remember: You got this.
