Save Your Life With This Mindset

There is nothing worse than getting told what to do. Right?

What about getting told, “You know what you should do,” by the same person repetitively?

These toxic people ultimately contradict their own decisions; throwing their contradictions on you is confusing, isn’t it? Fuck that news. Sometimes the most significant life lessons come from unexpected places.

In high school, my friend showed me the pain of living someone else’s dream, and I remember it like it was yesterday. He told me:

Derek, I’ve been breaking records here playing football, I don’t want to play college or professional …..pause…my dad pushed me to hard! Your lucky your dad doest do that!

It’s a lesson that has stayed with me ever since and has shaped my approach to chasing my dreams!

How do you make it stop?

-Be a man, set a boundary with this statement: “Don’t tell me what to do anymore. It confuses the shit out of me; let me do what I want!”

Break free from the shackles of doubt and unleash your creativity!

Let’s strive for genuine growth and support each other on our journeys!
