Nothing hurts more than when someone tells me I can't. Simply because I don't like being told by someone who doesn't know me as well as I know myself that I'm incapable of doing whatever it is I set my mind to do. So here's something for the people who tell me I can't.
I CAN. I am capable of accomplishing whatever it is I want to. Don't tell me I can't or won't achieve my dreams because you have no idea what I am willing to do to make sure I do. I have the heart and determination to accomplish anything I set my mind to, and I don't need anyone telling me differently.
Because someone tells me I can't, I only want to strive harder to get it. I will turn the negativity into motivation just to prove you wrong because no one needs negativity like that in their lives. How are people supposed to try for anything when someone is there saying they can't? It is just rude and so disrespectful because that person's confidence is destroyed and I will not stand for that.
Just know, you are hurting someone and bringing them down by saying they can't. You don't know them like they know themselves, we know how far we can go to get what we want, you don't. I hope people are always telling you to do what you put your mind to, but know that they want the same. Realize that what you say matters to someone, and when you tell them that they can't, it will crush any chance of them pursuing it.
My dreams and goals may be hard to reach, but I ask for support not negativity. Remember that, and also remember that because of you, I can accomplish anything.
