this is a story about myself and the perceptions of others on me.
I've got some ideas and try new things all the time, my head is always seeking out new things to learn and explore. Earlier in my life I was not aware of it but these days I am and I'm grateful for it.
I am pretty much always doing something I suck at, until I learn the basics and get better at it...
I love it. The process of learning something new all the time is the perfect tool for me to not be in my comfort zone. Only by stretching yourself past your comfort zone you can grow.
I do that all the time. It's a lot of fun and it keeps your brain working.
Anyway, point is this: Whenever I would learn something new I would be all excited, I'd tell my parents about it and all my plans and what it could lead to sometime down the track and so on...
Only to be told "You can't do that!"
Still to this day that has not stopped! I used to be so disappointed and deflated every time I heard those words. I would soon give up and eventually try something else!
I'll never know what it could've lead to.
These days, although those comments haven't changed - my reaction to those comments certainly has!
I am still sad and disappointed to hear it, but now I recycle those words and turn them into my fuel.
Remember: The ones that tell you you can't do it stand there watching you! So get to work and prove them wrong!
You, just like myself can achieve anything you dream of. You don't need anyone's permission to do so.
No excuses. Keep stretching, keep reaching for the stars.
Those people who have built the world we live in are no smarter than you!
It's a long tiring process of course, but it's the same for all of us. You take your idea and work on it in your basement, unseen for ten years but always engineering your dream and never letting go until one day something changes.
And all of a sudden you'll be one of those 'overnight successes'!
Think about it. Take any of the super successful people.
Take Elon Musk of Tesla, of Richard Branson, or Warren Buffet, or Ray Dalio, or or or.
Those people have the most important thing in common. They will work on what makes them tick. Regardless and unconditionally.
They work until!
You can get there too. You don't have to be the smartest (I'm not), you just have to grind and grind until!
I sit here on a saturday night, typing this when I could go out partying, but my 'why', my 'goal' keeps me writing.
You know, I am a human being just like you, and yes - I too need to prove to myself that I can do it. That I can do anything. I have to proof to myself that I can achieve what I desire. My goal is to serve you all and share my thoughts with you and hopefully give answers to some of your struggles but I also have to kill that sucker in my head that keeps telling me I can't do it!
I will kill that sucker!
Join me on my quest!
Make shit happen, because you can!
I love you!
Until next time - be awesome
