Don't fear criticism from the outside. Fear your own thoughts, for only they can penetrate into your essence and destroy it. - The Dreamseller

It saddens me when I hear a person has soo little faith in themselves.

In their minds, other people are always, or almost always better than them.
"I can never do it."
"I can never achieve it."
"I can never reach it."

The brain works with the heart. If you heart does not believe, so will the brain.
That's why people say, confidence is key.

When your heart believes, the brain will follow.

I am not saying that I am a very confident person. But to have faith is another thing. Because when confidence does not produce the outcome we expected and hoped for, we put our trust in Allah.

Allah, The MOST Knowing. Surely Allah wants to give the BEST for us, nothing less than that(after we try and pray). That is why there is the concept of tawakkal. To put our trust in Allah.

Isn't it beautiful? Our religion? It provides us with calmness, the light at the end of the tunnel.

No matter what result we get, what challenges lie ahead, if we put our trust in Allah, tawakkaltu'alallah, insya-Allah, we can face it and take it in peace.

So, just put in as much effort as you can, do your best, and put your trust in Allah, tawakkaltu'alallah. Then, whatever the outcome is, it must surely be the best for you at the current moment. Because only Allah knows what it is, and that is what He will give.

If it is the one you hoped for, then Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah. But if it isn't, then it is not anybody's fault. It is just simply what you needed(The best solution that Allah knows is for you at the moment). This might produce a better success in the future, when it is best for you. Just take whatever lesson you can at the moment(avoid wasting time, stop being lazy, increase deeds,etc).

As the title mentions, our own thoughts are the real threat. Because that is what our brain will believe and act on.

Thread your path with optimism, and positive energy.

The Dreamseller also said- "There is no such thing as a person without worth, only someone who is grossly undervalued."

Nobody is worthless. If you are born in this world, surely it is with a purpose. Allah puts YOU, rather than other billions of 'tiny before humans' fighting their way to the ovum. YOU became a human, not them.

You simply need to start with BELIEVING in yourself.
