You Want Something Go Get It.

"You Got a Dream... You Gotta Protect It. People Can't Do Somethin' Themselves, They Wanna Tell You You Can't Do It. If You Want Somethin', Go Get it."

Pursuit Of Happyness

If there is something that you want in this world you have to go get it. There will always be haters in this world you can't change that but instead get your head into something and go after it. I am kind of tired of how down people are in this world, for example. While I was doing student teaching last year and the teacher asked the middle school teacher asked the kids what they wanted to be when they were older. Then the teacher said" I don't want any out of each jobs like pro athletes or astronaut or anything like that." Now this really got at me like how are you going to kill a kids dreams like that. Now regrettably I did not say anything to anyone about it. Now I think that if you really want something in this world you can achieve it no matter how big of a dream it is. Now dreams change a lot throughout your life. My dream when I was little as nerdy as this sounds, I wanted to be a paleontologist. I wanted my entire life to be about dinosaurs and nothing more. Now I didn't give in for really any reason but I just lost my passion in some way. Right now my dream is just to get married have a family and be happy and I want to provide for my family.But to tell a kid that he will never be able to do something should be a crime. My imagination was my only friend for a long time. Really anything is possible and everyone needs to really remember that. I wish that more people would stop settling for just a life that they are not happy with. As a people we need to support each other in things that we want to do. I think that if someone has a real dream you should just tell them that they can do it. NOW, I think that people do need constructive  criticism but you have to understand the difference between that and "hating". Sitting there and telling someone that they suck and should find something else to do is wrong. I think that you could help someone with a tad bit of criticism that is needed in this world. To go back to the quote people cant do something themselves they wanna tell you cant do it. That is where all of this hate in the world comes from. The people that just settle want everyone else to settle too. There is just a part of these people that want everyone else to be unhappy too. I want everyone to feel the support that I have in my life and I know that everyone really is capable of amazing things. You hear all of the rags to riches stories in this world and I think that it has kind of lost what it use to be. These people are talented no questions asked. These people were most likely told that they would never be athletes or actors or anything like that all the time growing up. Instead they kept moving and pushing themselves until they made it. So many people stop moving forward with their dreams because of people telling them that they can't and that is just sad. For example, Michael Jordan the best basketball players of all time was cut from his high school basketball team. Now imagine if that would have been it. He gave up on his dream and never player basketball again. No, he kept going and made himself better and won six NBA championship rings. So I leave you with this you can always better yourself and you never should give up on something if you really want it. 

Always love and happy thoughts
