Forming an Opportunity Belief
Having a belief in something is generally something we all have and usually are very strong toward that belief in emotion. I certainly have that feeling on the way people view their life dreams and goals and how I believe in myself, but it is frowned upon because it isn’t “realistic” enough for society and my parents. I have true belief that anyone can achieve anything, if they have the right mindset and put hard work into whatever they are trying to achieve. I talked to a close friend here at UF about this “need” to get something they worked hard for but people consider the opportunity they were striving for was “unreachable” or “not too easy” to obtain. Well they applied for head of social media for a company called RentARunway and it is a huge company that is tough to land a job with as a student, she not only got the 1 of 3 campus rep positions, she got bumped up to be directing the social media for them through this campus. She proved all of the people that told her to not focus on that because it was “too hard” wrong. This is exactly the attitude that I believe everyone should have, otherwise you may be living your life with a lot of “what if’s” and that is regrets, I do not want to have any of them in my life. That is exactly what my friend portrayed and she showed my belief is true, you just have to work for it to come alive.

Nick, I agree that if you set your mind to something, anyone can really achieve anything. The story you told about your close friend who landed a rep position is really inspiring and just shows that perseverance and hard work is worth it in the long run. You should never give up and never stop trying to reach your goals. Great post.
