Show them that you can!


In life, you will get told that you aren't able to do something for multiple reasons: you're too small, too big, too this or that, you can't because you are a girl. Everyone has been told at least one of these things or other things telling them why they can't do it. It isn't up to you to control what others say about you, but it is up to you to prove them wrong. When someone tells you that you can't do something, you just have to show them the truth, you need to show them that you really are big enough, or old enough, or whatever the reason was that you "couldn't" do it. I understand that it is way easier said then done, but if you never try, it will never work.  
~'Candle Lite' Dahlia | K Connell DahliasFor example, a young boy wanted to grow up to be a champion track runner. Almost everyone in his life told him that he didn't have what it would take to be a track runner. They told him that his dreams were too big, and he would never get anything done if his dreams were that big and unrealistic. This boy believed what everyone told him. He let their words get to him, and decided to grow up to be an office worker. For the rest of his life, this boy will wonder what would have happened if he would have tried to meet his goal and become a champion runner. He will never find out because he didn't prove the people wrong, he let them be right. Now, there is a girl who wants to be an Olympic swimmer. She was told the same thing as the boy, but she didn't end up as an office worker. There was one difference that made the girl and the boy end up so differently. The girl just ignored the doubters. Whenever she would start to believe them, she would tell herself that one day, they would all be sorry, and she would be in the Olympics. She knew that it wouldn't be easy, she knew that her goal was a big one, but she didn't let stop her from trying her best. 
Which one are you, are you going to let the people who are busy telling you that you can't do something for some reason win? Or are you going to tell yourself that one day, all of the people who have ever doubted you will be sorry that they hadn't believed in you from the beginning?
