When I went to law school, I lived in constant fear that I would not make it. Every semester of each year, I had this nagging fear that someone would determine that I didn’t deserve to be there. It didn’t matter that I made it through my First year, my second year and even into my third year. For whatever reason, I had made the conscious realization that I was probably going to wash out.
The problem was that I got in my own way. I had convinced myself that you needed a certain GPA, a certain major, and a certain background. I had convinced myself that I was lucky to get in but not that I deserved to get in to law school.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed myself the entire time but I spent so much time worrying about not graduating that I never fully enjoyed myself. When I did graduate, it was more of a shock than a relief. I took all the tests. Wrote all of the papers. Completed all of the requirements. But for whatever reason, I never let myself enjoy the reality that I was a Law Student.
Sometimes, we tend to put barriers on our dreams by telling ourselves that we don’t deserve them or that they may not become a reality. We self sabotage those dreams and we miss out on enjoying the experience of the moment. Enjoy every opportunity you have. It is yours to ENJOY!
