Confidence: How To Think, Feel And Be Unstoppable - According To Brittany Netta, Miss New Jersey USA Candidate

The reason why most people never reach a particular goal in life is because they have refused to persist, to hang in there just a little longer. Most people deliberate on the word “But” so much that it holds them back from the place where nothing is guaranteed, nothing is real, but yet, everything is possible.

Asking questions like: But what if I fail? What if I am not good enough? What if everyone laughs at me? What if the people I love leave and I’m left alone? And the answer to these questions is…. Yes! Most of the time you will fail, sometimes it will feel like you’re not good enough, sometimes people will mock you and what you do, and some may eventually end up leaving. And then what? You see, all the fears mentioned above don’t count, in fact, it’s one way that nature shapes you into achieving your goals, if only you keep persisting because the experience is the teacher.

The gorgeous Brittany Netta, who'll be competing for the crown of Miss New Jersey USA in a few days, is currently making a difference in her community through her organization Art is Smart NJ, which advocates for continued funding into arts education. She was inspired to start this organization through personal experiences. At a very young age her parents and educators discovered she had a learning disability that hindered her performance in school - "I was pulled out of the regular classroom and placed into a classroom based around visual learning and the arts" - she explained.

She's the perfect example of persistance in life - "I was told no my whole life. No I would never learn at the same pace as other students. No I wouldn't get into the college I got into. No I wouldn't get the amazing job I have today. I ultimately overcame all my adversities in life and turned my no's into yes's."

If she wins the crown Brittany will have the opportunity to represent her state in Miss USA 2018. Check out my interview with her below!
