Why do we have so many people telling us we can’t do something? Why are there so many negative people out there who seem hell-bent on stealing another person’s joy, dreams, and goals? Jealousy? Hate in their hearts? I don’t know….but I’m so tired of it.
When I was told by a friend when I was younger that her parents thought I was immature because I laughed too much…..I kept laughing.
When I was told by a parent that I’d never amount to anything without them….well here I am.
When I heard whispers that I may not make it through chemo….I fought harder.
When people said I wouldn’t be able to work full-time and go through chemo treatments….I worked harder and not only passed probation, I excelled.
When I was told I shouldn’t try to have kids….I did and I have 3 beautiful daughters.
When I got my dream job and a person I trusted was behind me telling others I wouldn’t ever be successful…..I was.
And now I see so many people being told they can’t. And it makes me angry. Don’t let another person dictate what you do in life. Keep going for it, don’t give up, and pursue your dreams. This is your life, not their life. If you give up on what you want, you will never know if you could have done it or not. And if you give up, you are giving those people what they wanted….to see you fail.
Just a rant for a change….surround yourself with people who love and support you….and leave the others behind. You don’t need them. And is this a plug for praise….no….I have those people around me too and need support and reminders that I don’t need it either.
