Dream Quashers, Be Gone!

Hey, you. Yeah, you, I'm talking to you, there, fellow dreamer. I want to remind you of one important thing: as the legendary 80's rock band, Journey once said, don't stop believing. All your life, there are going to be people who, for one reason or another, try to stand in the way of you and your dreams. Maybe they're jealous of your youth, your lust for life, your unadulterated promise. Maybe they are jealous of your youthful idealism, your untainted passion. Maybe they are intimidated by your intelligence, your competence, your skillfulness at what you do. Maybe they are scared that you are going to take their job. Whatever it is, DO NOT listen to these naysayers! They are only trying to bring you down and hold you back from being your greatest. Just keep on plugging away at trying to reach your dream and trying to be the best whatever it is that you want to be. Stay true to what you know to be true, what you know is right. Don't even listen to that little voice inside your own head that says that you can't, you won't, you couldn't possibly achieve your dreams and do your best. That little voice that Anne Lamott termed our own personal radio K-FKD. Just tune out the negativity as best you can and stay true to yourself. It may take time and practice to do so, but don't give up. You can do anything that you set your mind to if you believe in yourself, that you CAN and you WILL do it.  Go get 'em, tigers!
