Having strong confidence and complete belief in oneself is an essential element that majorly affects a person’s future. Every individual wishes to achieve their version of success in life, but very few end up doing it. And the biggest reason behind it is the growing decline of self-belief and confidence in the masses. The saying You are your own biggest enemy holds great truth as the only thing that can prevent you from accomplishing more in life is your own self-doubt. People aspire to achieve greater heights in life, but their plans are thwarted by the anxiety that grows within them due to doubt in their own abilities. Marietta Grant is an American songwriter and singer who hopes to use her beautiful lyrics to eliminate this self-doubt and uneasiness that plagues the masses.
Music has a vast and rich history that ranges from the earlier times of civilization. It was used as a medium of entertainment for people and was enjoyed by royalty and peasants alike. However, the power of music amounts to much more than just feeble entertainment. Relatable lyrics accompanied by beautiful melodies have the power to influence the mind and soul greatly. Artists who are successful in devising the correct melodies and lyrics can influence a vast audience that closely resonates with the nuance of the song. But utilizing music to its complete potential is not a feat executable by everyone. In order to use music for a cause, it is important for the artist to have a close relation to it as well. It is imperative that artists feel a need to enlighten the masses about the cause and use the music to help those affected by it. Marietta Grant is the perfect example of an artist that is trying to use her lyrics to help the people suffering from the plague of self-loathe and insecurity.
Although largely undermined, personal insecurities are a problem that can hugely inhibit an individual’s performance and limit their ability to level up in life. Only by being completely driven towards one’s goal can one hope to ever achieve it. However, it has been observed that personal insecurities often dampen their drive for many. The future is full of unforeseen developments that no one can anticipate. But this does not mean that a person needs to spend every waking moment in fear of the unknown. Although having great ambitions, people nowadays can never summon the courage to act upon them. The reason for this is the air of insecurity that has become dominant in society. People nowadays are seen demotivating others that try to reach a higher stage in life. Unfortunately, this has become a norm in society and what sows the seeds of self-doubt in a person. It has been observed that an individual starting new endeavors in life or trying something new often get negative suggestions from their closest friends and family. Rather than words of encouragement, people inform them of all the negative impacts their decision could have. Being surrounded by people who tell you how many ways their attempt could fail and mean a big loss for them kills an individual’s self-confidence and inhibits them from attempting something else in the future. Marietta Grant is a person that wants to enlighten people and encourage them always to see the bright side of any situation. According to Marietta, if all one thinks is negative thoughts, then having negative results is a given.
