I am not sure about you, but I would like to looked upon as absolutely crazy rather to be at an absolute standstill as a simple-minded person. We are taught (indirectly) to believe that we are limited to only becoming certain things in our lives and as a result, our hopes and dreams are rarely pursued accordingly.
Let us say that your skin color is black, you might think, and generally believe, that you cannot be successful, become a CEO, and if there is even a thought of being the President of the United States of America, you opt out for better day job. But why? Why cannot we chase our dreams? I find it quite sad that our society can quickly and easily differ our hopes and dreams just by painting a picture of everything that we cannot be.
Never mind those who attempt to alter your goals and aspirations. If you want to be something in this world then for God’s sake, do it! No one, not the government, not our society, neither friend, family or foe should have the ability to tell you otherwise.
Lady Gaga once said, “Walk down the street like you are a star. Walk around delusional about how great you can be, and then turn around to fight for it every day until that lie becomes the truth.” That is what an abnormal woman encourage us all to do. So starting today, I challenge you to make a serious effort to not let anyone still your shine, your happiness, or appreciation for life.
Have faith that you can become whatever you desire to be, since there is nothing stopping you but your own fears. Ignore anyone who tries to alter your journey, and hit them where it hurts, and that is by being successful.
Best of Luck.
