My friend told me the following:
“Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitate to get in the way if you're moving. Ask for forgiveness not permission. Do what you need to do to be where you need to be.
Confidence. Emphasize strength, don't fix weaknesses.
How has doing what you should resulted in regret or not having done something else ...
No need to focus on a weakness when strength can get you so far.
That brings us to the point where no man is an island; your strength is my weakness.
You will do for me what I can't master and you the same; One hand washes the other.
Always consider what you are currently doing and ask yourself what would happen if I did the opposite of the people around me? What will I sacrifice while doing this for 5, 10 or 20 years
Ok ... Enough though generators from me.
Seriously think about what I sent you. You don't have to practice it but I strongly suggest that you consider it, save it and find some motivation in it”
Speaking from truth, from my heart and my mind:
In reference to everything my friend has said
Confidence I lacked; I had my strengths but dwelled in my weaknesses. Instead of being optimistic I was being pessimistic. It hindered me throughout my years, and this is why I’m In the position in which I am now. (which I won’t speak of) Today I woke up, not a revelation but a wakeup call and “snapped the fuck out of it”. It’s always been clear, but it’s acting upon it that had no motive to do. I have learned the hard way that it will always be me, myself, and I. That it is only I MYSELF that will make ME progress, but I was too stupid and waited for other to do what I was scared to do on my own.
Identifying the strengths was at first hard cause I was trying to do the impossible, but when I really sat down and thought about it my original purpose of beginning my journey to where I want to go, that’s when it all became clear. To focus on the strengths that is short term and immediate, this way it can result or tie in with the long term eventually. Perishing, eliminating, and shadowing my weaknesses. Doing what I should, focus, doing what I could, focus, focusing on being focused.
The island I have created for myself has only hurt myself, vacations of seclusion or meant for periods of time, not forever, and most importantly, not from the people who care. My strengths that may be another person’s weakness, if they fail to accept, then I must move on to one who will accept the help, but till then do it myself and find someone who will do the work. “One hand washes the other” they say.
My friend says “Always consider what you are currently doing and ask yourself what would happen if I did the opposite of the people around me? At first I was trying to answer this question, I don’t know why I couldn’t answer it, then I laugh and realize it is rhetorical. I am already doing the opposite of others. I just haven’t hit my 5, 10, 15 year mark to stop sacrificing, or however long it takes. My friend should of said the non factors are meant to be there, not all roads are straight, there will always be bumps and feed off the haters, just means you doing something right. Jealousy maybe a sin but you can do without sin. Lol
Something I want to tell my friend: keep on generating, generators are made to keep the momentum going right? Oh and thank you for the motivation! Much needed for the journey I almost lost sight of and the direction I will choose alone at the fork.
End this with what another friend sent me today:
Whatever you PUT IN to ANYTHING,
is what you wil GET OUT of it.
If you want ANYTHING, then do EVERYTHING to make it WORK.
If you PUT NOTHING, you wil get NOTHING;
People who didn't PUT IN "Work" & want to get THINGS,
only THING they Going to Get...is to GET OUT!
Prov 24:30-34
is what you wil GET OUT of it.
