“If I stopped after
every negative Nellie (unisex) told me ‘NO’… said ‘Girl YOU Crazy’ & every
other negative thing…I would have no dreams at all.”-YOUR Imagination
speaking the truth
“If people don’t hate
on my dreams…then I’m not dreaming BIG Enough, and if they don’t have nothing
to say about me…then I’m NOT TALKING LOUD Enough!”-Boldness making its
morning declaration
I have to say… over the
years, I have grown to love Naysayers (the surname for Dream Crushers) for a
few reasons:
“Naysayers…
a. Are Bold
b. They do not waste time
c. Are in need of encouragement of
their own dreams
&
d. Have the possibility of being ME… (I can naysay about my own dreams)
Don’t believe me…???
Well, LETS talk about it!
a.
Naysayers are Bold (capital “B”)
with the foolishness, negativity, ignorance, and just plain ‘I don’t like it’,
‘I don’t get it’ and ‘what in the world are YOU doing’
For a Naysayer to nay-
say…they have to SAY!!!---That takes BOLDNESS (and you know it!)
b.
Naysayers Would
NOT waste their time beating down a dream, idea, passion or desire that does not have the possibility of
actually coming into your reality
Naysayers don’t get in
sinking ships…they get in to sink
YOUR ship…
c.
Are in
need of encouragement of their own dreams
If the Naysayer were focused
on their own dream and believed that it could happen for them…they would not be
caught up in YOURS.---And sometimes you have to encourage them too in the process
d.
Have the
possibility of being ME… I can naysay about my own dreams without the help
of anyone else.
(I would put commentary about “d” here
but…I’d rather tell a personal story…okay? Okay.)
Personal GYC (Girl
YOU Crazy) Story:
While
writing this, I thought about all my
dreams and aspirations starting from when I was a kid, and how I feel about
the same dreams today. In my trip down memory lane, I realized that EVERY dream and aspiration that was more than a one
time thought…came with a long (lonnnnnnnnnng) trail of Naysayers.
And
that’s why I love them…
“Say
What!!!”
Thinking
back allowed me to realize why the dreams I have today are the dreams I started pursuing/working at/defending/fighting
for/making goals towards as a kid (like 3rd through 6th grade era…yes, I’m
going way back).
Every
time someone disagreed about who I wanted to be “when I grow up”, I proved to myself that they were wrong,
which built a foundation and
strengthened my passion to go for My OWN dreams if and when EVERY,
everybody says, “Girl YOU Crazy, it will never happen, and she thinks she is
a ______________....hmph.”
I had to decide that if I
wanted these dreams of mine…it was going to take a fight,
Since Naysayers use fighting
words!
Right or Wrong???
It
was decided that if I was going to quit it was going to be on my own terms,
not agreeing with the Naysayers/Dream Crushers and taking them in as my own
thoughts… It is real tempting to be your own Naysayer and doubt the
possibilities… especially since your
own voice can speak louder to YOU than anyone else’s.
Let Me Say This…in a
Few Rants (and run-on sentences):
YOU, Me, We have to build up
a foundation that can’t be broken with words…so you’ll be so
convinced that its going to work anyway keep pushing forward… If YOU are
doing something worth talking about…YOU are doing SOMETHING (just please let it be legal
and about making your dreams your reality)!...
Also, if YOU
were doing something that wasn’t amazing people wouldn’t even waste their time
trying to crush/naysay/be negative your dreams but go get a shovel and probably
dig across the street (you know how those nay-saying haters are!)!!!
I’m almost done…
And For all the words used to set you back every time you dreamed out
loud…be ready with words about YOURself that will push YOU forward! **It’s
only a set back if you step back…and I just gotta be honest…YOU, ME, WE and old “Slewfoot”
don’t…Do Not make a cute crew**
“If YOU don’t fight for your dreams…who do YOU suppose
will?”
