For as long as I’ve been on this journey, I’ve constantly experienced others (sometimes people, sometimes circumstances in life) trying to tell me that something can’t be done, or that I can’t do it, or that nobody has done what I’m trying to do; and so they thought/felt that I shouldn’t be doing/trying it. And for some time, I’ve allowed those voices to influence and affect some of my actions and decisions. I was subconsciously limited by those comments and opinions.

But as I am about to end my day, I’ve been thinking about what I’m doing right now to prepare for the work that is ahead. I would not have been able to do the things that I get to do today if I had continued to allow those voices and opinions to limit how far I can really go.

What I’m really trying to say is this, “Always make sure that you are the one to decide/determine whether or not something can be done.” You do that by trying, no matter what anybody else tries to tell you.
