This is a sad truth that we all have to live with but its still the truth. Some people just do not want to see you succeed. When you have a vision a few will cheer you on while others will want to keep you away from it. Its their way of keeping you down to their level. They know if you make it then they could have too and they would rather see you fail then to come to that truth. They want to put their low expectations on life on you because it makes them feel better.
How many times have you heard someone say “Don’t Get Your Hopes Up”? Yes we all have heard that but why are they saying that. There could be multiple reasons why. One is they have been beat up from life so much that they lost all passion to live anymore so they believe they are helping you out by telling you “their” truth. I say their truth because it does not have to be “your” truth.
The second crowd is people that truly want to see you fail so they will say things like that “Don’t Get Your Hopes Up” or “You Must Think You Are Better Than Everyone Else” and just other non sense things like that. You truly have to be careful who you share your vision with because people can sound so logical about why you can’t do what it is you are setting out to do.
You can’t listen to them or you will end up just like them trying to steal other peoples vision from them. Its got to be a sad place to be when you get there. I hope that I never lose all hope. Yes we have been beat up by life too just like everyone else but that doesn’t give me a right to just give up on life and for sure doesn’t give me a right to try and take someones vision away.
It doesn’t take long for you to figure out which of the two you are talking to when you see them warning you. The one seems really depressed where the other seems to be so focused on you not being able to make it. There is a difference but either way you want to stay away from people who try and take your vision from you.
Remember that your vision is NOT logical, it should be emotional. If you do not have an emotional attachment to your vision then your vision is NOT strong enough. Find something that you can give your all for. A vision that moves you. As they say your why should make you cry! if you don’t have a strong emotional attachment to your vision, life will probably get in your way and you will become one of the people who gives up on their vision.
