Power of Believing in Yourself

So, even though other people believe in you and  encourage you,  does this matter? The answer is yes. My predicament comes down to this: many people have said I have great scholarship.  Do I believe this? Well, I used to struggle with it. But it  comes down to if you really want something. I do really  want this and not for bragging at all.  ::this as in becoming a doctor/inventor/missionary:: So, how? How do I do this daily and not get burnt out? The motivation will fade, the encouragement will fade, but the love for the process is what will stay. So, I am ready for a  new semester. This is a big deal. I'm ready for a big  deal in  my life. Becoming. Emerging. Here I am, LORD, help me hear your voice and walk in it.
