RE: You can fly higher than you can imagine

in #life6 years ago

I am actually seeing a lot of similarities between your friend and myself , and i will be grateful if you can put me through the same process you made your friend go through to realise his potential
Going through this story,
"There is an old story I was told a long time ago regarding elephants; When they are babies, they tie one of the legs to a pole, to keep it still. The elephant's mind get's conditioned, and it believes that its trapped, that it can't move for the rest of its life, even when it weighs tons and can tear a tree of the ground if it wanted to".
I can relate it to myself looking at my background, and realising that i grew up around adults who always find fault in anything i did as a child and are often saying negative things about me to my hearing. It made me to shy away from doing some things i wanted to do, i always find excuse not to venture because of the phobia of been accused of not doing it right.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do here but with a larger number of people. Stay here and I hope this can make your way better! Do not be afraid because there is nothing to fear!

gowealth,

I believe that when parents say negative things toward their children, it's because the parents have low self esteem. Maybe they feel like a failure in life, therefore thinking their children can't do anything right or just not very smart. This mindset that influences a child is hard to undo. I think if you can develop the thought to try out new things, then assess yourself and find out what you can and can't do. It's ok to fail. You can try again and again. Answers will surface and you will find peace and know where you want to be in life. Success does not always equate to a Million dollars. Success is having freedom and loving your life. I hope that I've inspired you a little bit here.
