At a time of challenge or opportunity, I am given a boost past my own thoughts of limitation when someone says to me, “I believe you can do it!”

And that person is right, for I will get past the challenge and on to the achievements. Yet how can another person know more about me than I know about myself? It must be that the one who encourages me knows I have potential because the presence of my Higher Power is within me.

This is the truth I need to know for myself at all times, and I need to know this truth for others as well. With an encouraging word, someone else can confirm what is true: You can accomplish amazing things, because within you, is your wisdom, your strength, and your creativity.

My answer is this: “Yes, I believe I can, because I believe He is within me!”

Love
