Sometimes it is okay to be the underdog – at work, home, varsity, wherever. The one who people have written off. They do not believe that you will make it, so let them laugh, mock and tease you until they can’t believe their eyes.

If you are struggling to find a job, or you are underemployed wondering when your bright future became so dim or perhaps your plans are not working as you envisaged. Truth is that you cannot make a comeback if you are never lost.

I read elsewhere that before Michael Jordan became the legend that he is, he was clawing his way through failure, doubt and defeat. But he transformed his reality and of those around him because he refused to NOT BELIEVE.

Stay true to your dream, BELIEVE in your dream and keep pushing until you see it happen. #WiseUp
