Should You Listen to How People Tell You it Should Be?
A lot of people will tell you a lot of things about how life should be.
About how you can't do this because of that and how you should do that because of this.
I am slowly starting to realize that if you want to be someone who follows your dreams you can't always listen to people telling you how it is.
If you are thinking that I am just having a whinge you are right.
I get extremely frustrated with how small minded some people are.
Just because everyone does things a certain way doesn't mean that we should continue doing them that way.
There are a lot of big things I want to accomplish in the next 5 years so I have to be very very careful what I accept from people.
I know there are a million reasons why I can't achieve success but I also know there are a few reasons why I can.
So I have to keep my ears and mind closed to the million reasons why not and only listen to the few reasons why I can succeed.
Plus even if what everyone said was true who could be happy settling for a life that is less than magnificent anyway? I don't know about you but I want to get to the end of my life and know that I lived it.
I want to be able to tell my children that they can do whatever they want, that they can follow their dreams because their dad did.
Not tell them to work 9-5 to pay the bills, what kind of life is that? When I tell people I am having a baby a lot of them say "You better get some sleep now, cos when the baby comes you wont get any".
That may be true for them but why should I accept that as fact for me? Sure I might not get as much sleep but I only work 2-3 days per week.
Do the math, even with a baby that leaves a lot of time for sleeping.
Basically what I am raving on about is the fact that you choose your reality.
What is fact for someone is only fact because they decided to believe it.
If I want to decide differently and live differently then I can, so why bother telling me I can't?
