Top Ten Things that Hold Us Back from Being What We Want to Be
Many people think they will fail. That's why they don't even try to win.
Many people think they can't do this, they can't fly, they don't believe they have wings.
I have this a lot. It's also a kind of fear.
At home, I'm stuck between my insanely annoying, pesty younger sibling and my strict, high expectation parents who have a huge argument with each other every once in a while. The only life I have other than that is school. I can't bear it, and I can't wait till I'm older so I can have my own life.
I honestly don't feel comfortable with my family. My mom is salty and upset most of the time, and my parents arguing is very annoying.
They can either stop you from being what you want to be or encourage it.
I want to program.
School: Nope. We will barricade your way with homework and facts which have nothing to do with programming.
I agree! My school tends to have everyone conform to one way of living.
Homework is just too much, because I have to pray and I have homework every day except Wednesday.
Playing flash games at school!
I overthink in general. Imagine this: Every killer, serial killer, mass murderer, pedophile, racist, Nazi, terrorist, etc., that has ever been known has lived on the same rock/planet as you. That's weird. Also, humans are made up of very dense and close tiny things called atoms, meaning we are just very hard liquid forms. And we're living in a complex world yet we live without even realizing it.
Bungee jumping helped to cure my overthinking habit. If you think too much about doing something, you'll talk yourself out of it. Seriously, just do it!
For some things, there's never a "right time," so just go for it.
The Newcomers
Unfortunately, most people become a casualty of it and end up being conformists.
Falls into the Fear Zone. It's scary to step outside your personal comfort zone.
My theory is when a person can put the rubber chicken on their head and lead the dance, they have officially stepped out of their comfort zone.
It takes away what you already have.
It can be from others, or even from yourself for that matter.
I want to be an astronaut when I grow up. When I told my parents, they started listing reasons why I shouldn't pursue it. I won't be discouraged.
My parents say that I can't have a channel, but my friend, who is three months younger, does.
