Explaining how the quote meant a lot to her, the media personality told her fans: “You can do anything you want in life if you believe it enough!
“I saw this today and it really took me back to being a teenager.
“I remember getting pulled into my head teacher’s office and she said to me, ‘So Jesy, what do you plan on doing when you leave school?’
“I said, ‘Well hopefully something to do with performing as that’s what I’m passionate about’.”
Jesy then went on to recall the moment her teacher said that wouldn’t happen.
The Sweet Melody singer said penned: “She then said, ‘I think we need to be a bit more realistic as that’s not going to happen.’
“I could have gone away from that and genuinely believed what she said but I didn’t. It pushed me, even more, to prove her wrong!”

Speaking to her fans, Jesy exclaimed: “Don’t ever let someone crush your dream or tell you what you can and can’t achieve. You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it and believe it enough and that’s the truth!
“Fear can sometimes get the better of us and it can stop us going for what we really want. Turn that fear into faith and have faith that you WILL achieve anything you put your mind to.
“Believe in you”.
She finished the powerful message with a red heart emoji and shared the post with her 7.6million followers on Instagram.
Jesy’s devoted fans rushed to leave a comment, showering the pop star with messages of love and support.
One said: “I’m so so proud of you!”
While another gushed: “You’re so inspiring and such an amazing role model!!”
“Love you so much,” penned a third.
