He, who angers you, controls you…but he, who discourages you, destroys you…

This morning in the traffic….singing at the top of your voice to an old classic song on the radio, nothing was going to ruin this marvelous day….

However…5 minutes later another person cuts you off by swerving in front of you….now you are fuming…”where did this person learn to drive…he just put your life in danger….you better let him have a piece of your mind”….

He is then astonished at the vocabulary you possess, and you are upset for quite some time. And the thought of him cutting you off has taken up a lot more than a few minutes of your day….

When you were still a little child, you dreamt of becoming an astronaut…or maybe even something like a doctor? In excitement you run to you parents, telling them of your ambitions.

They however do not share your excitement. With a condemning tone you get told “I did this job, your grandfather did, and his grandfather did. So that is what you will do”…and within a few moments your childhood dream is crushed.

The difference comes in when you decide that you are your own person. How far you make it in life will depend on how strong your will is? If you listen to condemning advice or negative remarks, you will be limited to what others think you will become…

If you follow your dream against all odds, you will become the person you were meant to be…
