You always have to believe in yourself.
 

We have all heard this said before. We have even told others this before. But what about those moments when it’s hard for you to believe…for you to believe in yourself? I now know that I needed to believe this phrase within these last few days, but it’s been hard.
 

Then, something happened.
 

Recently, one of my friends reminded of Fight Song by Rachel Platten. She told me about it during one of our pep talks. I have loved hearing the song whenever it played on the radio or in the background of commercials.
 

But it wasn’t until now [in this moment of my life] that its lyrics resonated with me, like these words:
 

For me, these words particularly hit home: “And I don’t really care if nobody else believes.’Cause I’ve still got a lot of fight left in me.” I love these words and needed them more than ever now!
 

Lately, I’ve been trying to pursue one of my dream jobs. After years of working in a entry-level opportunity, I felt like I finally have the skill set and background needed to obtain this dream job. However, I have faced many rejections. They have really made me question if I have what it takes, what I’m doing with my life, and if I should just give up. But then, I heard the lyrics of Platten’s song and decided to start believing in myself again.
 

I realized that even if no one else right now believes in me, it’s OK. One day, I will be able to get that dream job. I am determined to go after what it is that I dream of doing. Despite what I face in life, I always still have a lot of fight left in me.And, I am not giving up because I still have a lot of fight left in me to make it happen. This song has empowered me to overcome my moment of disbelief in myself.
 

As I started climbing out of my down moment, I wanted to go a little deeper to find out what had inspired Rachel Platten to write her song. In an interview with KARE-TV, she said that she wrote the song during a really low point in her music career when she kept facing rejections. Of course, this is something I can relate to.
 

“I got to the point where I thought, should I continue to keep going with this dream? But this tiny little voice in my head wouldn’t let me give up,” Platten said. “This song was written as a declaration that I am going to believe in myself no matter what, even if that means I’m just doing this on a very small level.”
 

At the end of his report, the KARE-11 reporter wrote, “From a house party to the TODAY Show in seven months… good thing she listened to that little voice.”
 

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. All I have to say is thank you, Rachel Platten, for writing this song. It is now #MyFightSong. I am never going to give up on believing in myself or believing in my dreams. You have shown me that we each have the power to make our dreams come true, if we never give up.
