Youth speakers tell students that the only way to experience success is to believe in yourself. Each student needs to understand that his or her brain is really only a muscle. Like every other muscle, it needs to be exercised regularly. Without regular practice in thinking positively, negative thinking, self-doubt, anxiety, and procrastination creeps into our lives, keeping us from moving forward. The trick is to not believe these feelings but to believe in yourself and your ability to achieve what you set out to accomplish.
