You can do it!

Never let anyone convince you that you are incapable of achieving a goal that you have set for yourself! I remember my first year in law school, and a particular person, who I am not sure if they were trying to be encouraging and then the conversation just went left or if they intentionally meant to be discouraging…this person was speaking to our class and advised us that the vast majority of us, since we worked full-time jobs, had spouses, children and homes to take care of, that we would not pass the bar exam and told us to consider whether or not we should continue pressing forward with our goal of becoming an attorney.

I quickly tuned this person out because no one can tell me or you or anyone what we are and are not capable of achieving. If you believe it, you can do it. If you do not believe it, then you have already lost the battle before it began. Trust in yourself, believe in yourself, put in the work, and if you are like me pray and believe God and watch your dreams unfold before your eyes.

Notwithstanding, a 50+ hour work week, being a husband and father of two beautiful daughters and a furry son, I graduated from Birmingham School of Law, I passed the MPRE on my first attempt, and with hard work and prayer, I passed the bar exam on my first attempt.

Mindset…whatever your goal is…believe it, believe in yourself, work hard and you can do it!
