...just so happens to be the same obstacle many of us have stumbled over at one time or another...ourselves.
Self Fulfilling Prophecy if you want to use fancy words but putting it bluntly it's when we fail before we try anything simply because we believe it won't work. Some of us, myself included, grew up with it. Those surrounding us who we hoped would be supportive and helpful just crushing our hopes with their opinion of our talents, skills and determination to stand up and do what we wanted. These people "trained" us to believe we can't do something simply by saying we couldn't. Not through their own experience, cause lets face it, these people never did anything worthwhile in their lives so they think everyone else seeking to reach high should just stay in the mud.
I'm sick of it, in fact I am more than sick of it. I feel I have pushed aside so many attempts to do good in my life just because of the hollow opinions of my family, the same people who cannot even take responsibility for their own misgivings. And the thing is I am not the only one who feels the weight of our families opinions and false accusations of guilt. We all know who we are and the things we can achieve when given the proper chance.
I've started breaking out of the habit of failing before I start and it started when I moved away from my family nearly a year and a half ago. I have shifted places twice and I am glad to say I have a permanent, stable home now. My next step is to finish a variety of half written stories that haunt my desktop and I will be doing them using heart and emotion to write.
I am posting this for several reasons but the one that stands out the most is because of those of you who not only read my works but encourage me to do more, whether you are my friends or not and I want to encourage others to stand up and pursue their own dreams as well.
So be proud of what you can do and who you are and don't let anyone tell you any different because in the end the only person who determines what is right for you, is you. =3
