Words and Drive
There were many people through the course of my life that in one way or another told me that I would be nothing but a ditch digger in this life. I've been picked on and looked down on for being myself and being different. I was bullied from time to time, but I would always stand my ground win or lose. Looking back at all this, I'm glad it happened. It made me stronger and more determined to make something of myself. It somewhat gives you an "I'll show you" attitude and gives you the determination to go down your path fearlessly. For me, it caused me to look deep inside and figure out who I was, what I wanted to be and what made me happy. It also inspired me to be more strong willed and put the blinders on, shut off all the negativity around me, and stay focused on my goals. Actions speak louder than words, so I used their negativity to drive me and inspire me. In the famous words of Les Brown's teacher "Someone's opinion of you does not have to be your reality" a very wise statement. Everyone is going to have their own opinion of you. People are going to try and put you down because you are different, and possibly be jealous, thinking you'll be more successful then they will. Be yourself and stand up for yourself. Figure out who you are, what you want, and go down your path fearlessly. Use all the pain, suffering, happiness, wisdom and knowledge to inspire you and fuel your fire.
