Cupid’s Advice:

Captain Danvers seems to constantly have to prove her worth which is sometimes difficult.  We have some advice on why you should believe in yourself and keep moving forward:

1. Know your worth: You have talent and value. If you chose a certain job or have a passion or hobby, keep pursuing it. You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone if you are doing something you love. Take a couple steps back from the negativity and just live your life.

2. Use your actions: If you’re tired of people questioning you, prove them wrong through what you accomplish. It’s a waste of energy to use words and go on an on about how well you can do something. If people don’t see it, they may not fully believe in you.
