Forward Thinking

We live in a world of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination. A world where others believe it is in their power to belittle others. To make people belittle their value and decrease their self-belief and confidence. A world where others believe it is in their power to decide others decisions. People are only engaged if the topic someone is talking about is of interest to them, we are too quick to dismiss others because we don’t believe the conversation or situation has value to our lives. Understanding that there is a reason behind everything people say and do, a reason which may be influenced by someone’s passion and enthusiasm about a topic, or even a mask to someone’s identity. A mask of individuality to reflect societies norms, to ensure there is no criticism. Criticism that is taught and influenced by the need to ‘fit’ in. Everything must be labelled now a days. For example: if you like comic books you’re automatically a ‘nerd’, if you’re a girl and you like sport you ...

Their approach to a situation and their approach with other people inspires me to be the person to continue their legacy. The legacy of building rapport, the legacy of being positive, the legacy of being an ...

Even if you’re not ready, the world isn’t going to go in standstill and wait for you to catch up. It’s going to keep moving forward, you can’t pause time and hope that eventually you’ll be in the right place at the ‘right’ time. Say life’s a game, and you’re playing on beginner level when you have the ability to go above and beyond and tackle the expert level. Do you really have the motivation to continually succeed in your comfort zone but never improve?  Is that really winning? I know I’d rather play the game on expert level and fail numerous times before I succeed. I believe in myself and my dedication that I can achieve whatever is put in front of me. Why? Because that’s the kind of person I want to be. I want to be the kind of person who wants to learn, the kind of person to take any opportunity to develop themselves to make themselves the best possible version of them in that moment of time.
