Sometimes one little conversation can change so much: you suddenly have an all new approach to old things. You might not even notice or understand its impact at first, but sooner or later, reflecting back on the chat or even a single phrase, you realize how meaningful it actually was and how much sense it made. I'm thankful for this conversation I had with a friend on a sunny morning in Barcelona in August - somehow I got reminded I was capable of so many things, and ever since then I never once hesitated to give something I thought I wasn't qualified for enough a try.
"One must learn by doing the thing: for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try" - Sophocles
Pep talks can add so much strength to a wavering outlook, esp. when it comes from a close friend. I have a friend named Alex who gives the best pep talks when I'm down, and I always feel HYPE about life after. I'll second your friend's words and say :: you're amazing and capable of whatever you want.
