I've been told that so many times its ridiculous
I've wanted to do so many things in the past and most of the times I've been told I would never be good enough so why would I even bother trying, or you're to ugly to do that, to fat, not skilled enough and so on.
One time I really wanted to learn how to speak french
I think it sounds really sexy when people are speaking the language.
I tried a couple of years ago to learn on my own and I was doing pretty well until some d-bag told me that I would never master it and I wasn't good enough to do it, and after that I believed him and thought oh he is probably right. I so regret that I didn't stick with it and defended myself saying you know what - maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong but I'll never find out until I have tried.
Another example are that some time ago I told the person I thought I could count on the most (back then) I wanted to start something up, like my own business or something and the person just started laughing at me and said really.
I keep thinking if I might have sticked to something without listening to what certain people had to say where would I have been now career wise.
So ladies (and gentlemens) don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it, cause you can do anything you set your mind to.
Don't listen to those who doesn't know any better
I believe in you and so should you
Hi!
SvarSletI think you absolutely right!!! You know, my Dad was always the best at everything while growing up...and he always told me that. So I started, very young, to think "Why should I even try? I'm never going to be that good!!" So I wasn't..but now I try my best at everything and I don't care what people say...because even if I fail...I know I tried my best!!!!
I really liked your blog!!!

Thanks for the advice. You're totally right! You make your own choice and that's our life. We wanna try? Well that's nothing to do with these mocking birds. We try at our own risk and that's what we live for. This is life!
SvarSletBy the way thanks for following me @

Hi Rose
SvarSletYou are so right that all you can do is your best even if you fail. It took me a long time to figure that out cause like you said why even try. And guess what you are not your dad... you are YOU (no offense to your dad :) ), and you are doing a great job at that :D
thank you for the sweet words :)

This made me smile so much, such good advice! I remember I told my brother that I wanted to learn guitar and write my own songs and he just laughed in my face. Now I've been playing the guitar for nearly two years and have wrote over 100 songs and I'm so glad that I didn't listen to him. Never let anyone stop you from chasing your dreams :) xx
