How many times have you had bricks thrown at you? I'm sure you can think of several times and different ways that has happened in your life... People telling you that you can't do what you say your going to do, people stomping on your dreams, people pulling you down to their level when you are trying to take the appropriate steps to advance in life, and on and on. When people throw bricks at us we have two choices..... we can crumble--which most people do OR we can use those bricks to build a strong foundation towards your motivation, desire and determination towards your success.
Those who laugh at your dreams, goals, desires and motivations are not your friends.... they are your bricks to build that foundation.
So true, so true. There is always a naysayer in life that is willing to help build your strong foundation. The key is to realizing that it's your dream to be had, not theirs. :)
I love this post, it is so true. All your life others will try to bring you down, but it is only when you give in to them that they have succeed.
Lindey, You are right on the money about that. It's YOUR dream.
Bud and Beth, Never give in. Plain and simple.
Hi Steve--I loved your post. People always want to be "helpful" and keeps others from failing or getting hurt--in effect hurling bricks. Never thought about those as the building blocks for something greater, but that is what great people do.
Phil, Are you building your foundation?
Janet, Those that want to be "helpful" are just scared and not good at taking risks. Use that to your advantage.
