Believe in Yourself....

The story is told of a college class about to take their final exam. The professor walks in and addresses his molecular biology students. "Each of you have worked extremely hard this semester, you know the material and after graduation most of you are off to medical school or graduate school. Since I already know you've mastered the material I'm prepared to give you an offer. Anyone who wants, will receive a "B" right now and not have to take the final exam." Students were blown away and once they realized he was serious, many of them took him up on his offer. The professor made one last appeal "this is your last chance" and a few more took the deal.

The remaining students prepared to take the final exam and their jaws dropped to the floor as they read the instructions on the exam, two simple sentences: "For those of you who believed in yourself and didn't take me up on my offer, you don't have to take the final either. Because you believed in yourself enough and didn't settle for a "B", you will receive an "A".

Believing in your self means you don't compromise, no matter how appealing the offer. It's not settling for something below your potential. Quit looking for the easy way out and lean into those difficult situations in life. Strive for your full potential, do it once and you'll surprise yourself, do it twice you'll surprise others, let it become a habit and God won't be surprised because that's who He made you to be!!!!
