Never Give Up On Your Dreams
8:17 PMEveryone at some point in their life gets mocked, ridiculed, bullied and hated on. No matter what gender, race, age you are, regardless of what country you live in or what kind of job you have, there will always be this constant struggle of acceptance and bullying behavior. Everyone is guilty of bullying and in return we also get bullied. The video above shows the power that your passion can have on you when you need an outlet to get away from the bullying and not fitting in with others.
We all have dreams, aspirations and goals for ourselves. Some people have bigger dreams that require a lot more work than other dreams do, but a dream is a dream nonetheless and we all deserve to excel in the things that we love to do. This blog is basically just a reminder that you should never let anyone or anything get in the way of your goals. Whether you are being bullied at school, your parents are fighting and going through a divorce, your grades aren't perfect, you have no friends, you feel alone etc... no matter how rough things get in your life, there is a way out and to the top.
If you are struggling with this sort of thing, here is just some friendly advice from a stranger.
Love yourself. Honestly, the best thing you can do is love yourself. Love who you are, what you look like and what you do. With the internet being so abundant in our lives, it is easy to connect with people who share the same interests and problems as we do. Find people who like the things you like and in turn you will discover a whole culture and world that you can be involved in. You will make friends who accept you for who you are and what you enjoy doing. You'll be able to share ideas and improve yourselves mutually. If your family is having problems, please know that you are not at fault. As time goes on, we change. Change is constant and inevitable and sometimes when things change they have a big impact on our lives and it effects other things. If your parents realize that they no longer get along and decide to get a divorce, they aren't doing it to punish you. They realize that their relationship is unhealthy for each other individually and as a family as a whole. A positive environment is much nicer than a dark, angry and violence filled one. If that means your parents go their separate ways and you have to pick one to live with or if they share custody of you, then you just need to roll with it. People fall in and out of love all the time. One day you might love someone and want to be with them forever and the next, you realize that you're numb inside and someone else gives you a good feeling. Whatever the case may be, life will go on and as you grow up you'll come to understand why your parents do the things they do and what causes these things to happen. The key point is that you should not abandon your family, you shouldn't blame yourself and you should keep your head up, because life will go on and things will get better. If you are being picked on at school, just don't let it get to you. Those kids that bully you, get bullied as well. Maybe some of them have alcoholic parents, maybe they are jealous of you, or insecure of themselves, or are alone and not sure how to be nice and make friends. Whatever the case may be, try and reach out to them. If they aren't willing to open up and try and become friends, do your best to avoid conflict. Stand up for yourself when you need to, but don't pick a fight just because they're around or provoking you. Remember that one day you will be out of school and all of your friends will go separate ways. Some of you might stay close, but most of your friends will move far away, get married and lead separate lives that you won't even know about. So really, it's just best to not care what other people say to you because one day it won't matter.
You should focus on your goals. What kind of life do you want to live? What kind of education are you going to need to do that? What kind of money are you going to need to spend to get there? What kind of skills are required? These things are important to think about as a young age while your environment is stress-free. Consider getting a job at an early age to help save up money for a car, or college or anything else you want to buy. Figure out what kind of schooling you'll need if you need any at all? Think about what you want to do right now. What you want to do with your life right now might change next year. Some people spend many years going to college for the field they want to go in and end up with jobs in something completely unrelated. Why? Sometimes what we want isn't available at the time, some times other things have better offers and benefits. Sometimes we realize that we have changed and that other things interest us more than others. The number one goal is to just keep on going.
Focus on the things that you enjoy and do what you need to do to get to where you want to be. Some people might get their quickly, others will need to spend many years, even decades, to get there. If you want it bad enough, you will take the steps necessary to get there.
Keep on keepin on.
