I am not the strongest person in the world that instilled courageous, but aside from that, I do not accept when someone speak negative most of the times. My reason is because, the things we say, have an influence in our life.
I had a lot of people that I regard as my friends, but in each of these people, there is one that do not ever see the good part of things, all he ever believed is, the end result would be negative, and rolling with him make me to feels not safe anymore, since i do not want to start thinking that way.
My believed in life is that, anything i want is possible as far as I continue working towards it, and it can only be difficult when i do not work, therefore, in those times, he started talking of how hard are the things he wants, I began to see him as someone who doesn't want to make a move for himself.
The truth about dreams and aspirations is, we do not have to wait until everything we think we need are with us, we have to start at that very point we are.
Our teachers always tells us in primary school, "if you can't find your weeding hoe, start weeding the unwanted plants out of the ridges with your hands and afterwards, you will wash your hands with clean water and soap, in the school borehole.
As young people, I enjoy sharing dreams, talking about dreams and aspirations, at some point, draw the feelings of how it would be when the time comes. Therefore, on this very day, it was the two of us, we where outside chewing suya and talking, for me, I do not enjoy so much conversation than talking about dreams.
But, I was so not getting it anymore when he never said anything about his aspirations, I know we all have that thing we want to become, but he keeps saying he doesn't know if he is going to fulfilled his dreams, I was so confused about him, I expected him to say, "I will" and let the strength came from him, but he was still not saying it.
He was a kind of lost, that was how I saw him, but I let it open that, "life do not give us what we want, although some people might, but a lot do not see such opportunity, yet, never can those things be a limitation for us not to chase our dreams, it is when you fold your hands that you lose, and without you, no one is going to do it for you".
I let him knows that, I do not lived with such narrative and i do not know if I am wrong either, but, so far it's in line with what I want, I can not let it slide, I am holding onto it and I want you to do so too.
It was late already and we called it a night, I do not just wish I could change the negative narrative on this guy, I want to see him change it, we all need to keep sound and positive energy, no more worries.
