When lambs become lions.

There are certain moments in life where you find yourself misguided, lost or simply stuck in a crossroad. There are times when you find yourself doubting who you are, what you're capable of and who you really are. You ask yourself questions like "what's wrong with me?" "Am I of any value?" or "Do I deserve to be this way?" Basically a lot of self-doubt is instilled on you specially after something nerve-wracking happens to you. Maybe you got rejected, maybe you got humiliated or maybe it just happened but just like any fall that you take in life whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally, you get to a point where you realize that you need to stand up. You need to get up off of the floor and you just need to rebuild things in your life. Self confidence, self esteem and just everything about yourself. You get to the point where you realize that you have to stop doubting what you're capable of & you realize how much potential you have. You start to believe in yourself again or if that doesn't happen to you, you force yourself to believe in you. You realize that there is nothing wrong with you, that you are fine just the way you are and there's nothing you need to change about you. It hits you that you have to get out of the slump you're in and that you have to just brush it off and start trying again. Just like in acting, sometimes certain parts are just not meant for you, it's just not your character. It's not because you're a bad actor or anything, it's just that the part isn't for you & even if you believe & know that you can do the part extremely well, it's not your fault. Blame it on the director or the people who handle the casting for not seeing who you are, who you can be, and what greatness you can do. They say the best way to build something is from the ground up.. If you see yourself in a situation where you feel like you hit rock-bottom then look at it as a blessing.. You can rebuild yourself completely and with stronger foundations, you can be whoever or whatever you want to be with nothing holding you back. When you fall, you just have to find the strength to get back up and you'll see yourself stronger than you were, and much much better. You have a lot to offer and if someone or some situation doesn't see that, then offer it to someone else, someone that'll make you feel appreciated, someone who will need you and someone who will see the good that you bring about with you, not letting it go to waste & not letting it pass them by. You can't force anything to happen, it just does. Stop moping about.. it won't get you anywhere. Use it as motivation, use it to better yourself and at the end of the day you won't regret anything. Channel whatever emotion you have whether it be anger, or depression and use that to stand up from the ditch that you're stuck in. Just get up..

It's time for lambs to become lions because in life there are no underdogs. We are what we make ourselves to be.

  1. Go ahead Gino. You can do it. It's time for you to be strong again, and be BACK.

    Though you should also be thankful about what caused you this pain since it shaped you to be a stronger person than the way you were before.

  9. Hi, it's my first time to drop by your blog, and I have to say that this is an inspiring entry.

    I've been through tough times lately, and although my "true" friends keep on telling me that I have to "unleash the tiger" in me, it never hit me real hard until I've read this post.

    Thank you! Continue inspiring, Gino. Now I am back on my track. :)

  14. I agree. "We are what we make ourselves to be". And to add, "There is no fate but what we make for ourselves", a line from Terminator.

    May the Force be with you.

  20. Can sooo relate. Was in a bit (well okay, scratch the bit part) of a slump earlier last month. Like what you did, I just had to make the conscious decision to get up and make things work for me. Easier said than done, for sure, but everyone's stronger than what they previously deem themselves to be.

    And hey, you know what's awesome about getting things wrong the first time? There's a fantastic chance that you'll get them right the second time around. Hehe.

    Glad I decided to check out your blog. Following it now. :)

  21. Sometimes you just have to take life as it is, you know what I mean? When your threshold has met the point of saturation, you just have to accept things that happen to you. I think it's wrong to tell yourself that everything will be okay if you are not certain of what life throws you. In my opinion, it is better to be humble enough to accept everything, make peace with what is given to you, that way you might actually find inner peace.:) I love how positive you are in life, I wish you all the happiness ;)

  27. I have been going through a lot for so long and your wise words resonated within me as if God Himself spoke to me. Not that I'm trying to be religious or anything (believe me, I'm not), but seriously, your words are the words that I was waiting for all these years. About time I finally stop doubting myself and start living to the fullest.

    Many thanks, Gino. You don't know how much you've helped me.

    P.S. And oh. Wish you all the best in RXTMR. I'm now an avid fan. =)
