Do you know what light bulbs and humans have in common? We both express different colors, have different shapes, sizes and are manufactured in different places. Some of them are bright, some dim and some broken. We appear to be different from outside. But what makes these lights so special is that there is one current running through each bulb. And in the same way there is a singular energy running through each person on this planet. It is strength, courage, determination and a beautiful life that starts with us.

Let us talk about the person whose face makes us all laugh. Yes, the first face that comes to our mind is Mr. Bean. He made the world happier often without even speaking. During his childhood, he was quite a shy guy who was constantly teased by his friends because of the way he looked and spoke. They called him the alien face who always stuttered. His teachers too never expected him to have a bright future. He fell in love with acting during his university days, but was rejected constantly due to his speaking disorder. After various trials, he somehow managed to stop stuttering while acting and he became fluent in speaking. But here is the twist! He was only able to stop stuttering when he played a different character than himself. But his facial looks always blocked the path to achievement. Nothing could stop him after all. He went into the radio comedy and entertained the people for 10 years while hiding behind the microphone. This was a turning point in his life and career. Later on he brought the character, Mr. Bean to television and that is how he became a huge part of our childhood. The very reason why he was rejected in the past in the end set him up for that huge success. He taught us that we are more powerful than our circumstances.

If we don’t know our value, we will always settle for far less than what we deserve. There is a huge difference between the people who love the life they have created for themselves and those who cannot stand in the life they are living. It is we who have to define ourselves because our value is set by our own thoughts. Not every situation which seems like a problem is a problem. When everything seems to be against us, remember that airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. Challenges are sent to promote, increase and strengthen us. We are the captain of our ships and the masters of our fate. Learn to design a masterpiece with whatever we have.

When there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm. Inner belief is the freedom from self-doubt. When we learn to control and direct our mind during hard times, we can turn our internal voice to work for us. Beliefs control results. Have trust in yourself when you are at the rock bottom, because the rock bottom is the origin of success. As generations and people have proved- There is no success without self-esteem.
