What do you do if you don't hear "Go team!" Do you give up and quit in the middle of the game? No! Stand up and declare victory for yourself. No matter what the problem, nobody can fight for your case better than you. If You are a business person that has failed seven times, or someone who keeps getting laid off, but you have to lift your spirits and keep moving. If you need a voice to push you, I'm here to tell you to cheer for yourself. Look in the mirror and say "I can do it!" "I will succeed" If you do it enough times, after getting a good laugh, you may begin to believe in yourself. Don't be afraid and don't listen to the people who stop believing and quit cheering for you. Let the loudest voice be yours. Believe in yourself and have faith that you can make it. When you announce or get attention for what you do, everyone is not going to be in your fan club. Some will steal ideas, break promises and yes, even embarrass you on national TV.
When you encounter someone jealous of you, the best way to deal with them is to be kind. When people say and do silly things, smile and ignore them. They can't bother someone who holds their head high and loves themselves more than an opinion. Thank those who try to pull you down. If you rise above negativity, you will always come out on top. Follow these steps to be your own cheerleader.

1. Make a solid plan to live your dreams today
2. Tell supportive people about what you are doing
3. Join groups and associations with people interested in the same things
4. write positive affirmations and speak them daily in the mirror
5. reject words and actions from others that discourage you

Some of you are tired and don't feel like fighting or cheering anymore. Some of you may have even lost your will to live your dreams today. Tell yourself how smart and beautiful you are. You can achieve anything you want. Watch people on TV and let it inspire you. Surely you're just as smart as them, sometimes smarter. Education and money does not determine how your life turns out. Life is a series of choices. You have to choose life and push yourself to the next level. No matter what type of problem you have, be your own cheerleader and watch others join your team.
