Believe in Yourself 

01min 50sec 

The project 'Believe in Yourself' pertains to the field of psychology, self-confidence and self-esteem. Borrowing and paraphrasing the lyrics 'You Gotta Believe' by the Pointer Sisters. Utilizing the text through repetition, as a means of self-expression, a sort of voice of consciousness, an inner monologue.

To believe in yourself is to have faith in your own potential. It means believing that you can do something within your own capabilities and reason, whatever you wish, plan and expect. Shifting the scale of one’s emotions to a positive appreciation of one’s self and capabilities.
