The lesson in all of this is to be self motivated, and to believe in yourself.  If you do those things, nobody but you and the Lord can stop you.  Confidence comes from knowing who you are and not letting anything get you down.  If you don't believe in yourself, others won't either, and you won't be successful.  If you do however, the sky is the limit.
