It always surprises me when people say that they can’t achieve their dreams. They can have a multitude of reasons why…they aren’t clever enough, strong enough, attractive enough, things like that don’t happen to me etc. I recently listened to a talk, where the speaker said they left these conversations there and moved on to someone else who did believe in themselves. I however like a challenge. So my challenge is that reading this article will change one persons mindset and self belief.
I have always been aware that I think about things differently to other people. Being diagnosed as dyslexic gave me a reason as to why this may be the case. It also meant I was born with a challenge ready to be faced. People sometimes say to me I can be very black and white. I don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing. The approach I take to life is very much sink or swim. I find simplifying it keeps me focused and keeps that fire burning inside me.
The reason I am always surprised that people fail to believe in themselves is simple. We are all born the same. Our life paths may take different turns, however for everyone there will be choices and opportunities in different forms. People seem to look at these entrepreneurs, inventors, business owners, celebrities etc, and think they don’t have what they have and can’t do or achieve what they do. Maybe it’s my unusual way of thinking but I always think:
If them, then why not me?
If you are lucky enough to have a dream, chase it and see where it can lead you.
