I have dreams and ambitions for the future, some that may
seem stupid to other people. However, one thing I have learnt is that other people’s
spiteful negativity should never put you down. One of these ambitions, I have
for the future, is to build a community of positive people through my blog and
YouTube. I aspire to inspire.
This is where it gets hard. I’m just an irrelevant teenager
with no idea how I’m going to get through life. At the moment I don’t believe I
want to go to university as I feel that is not for me. I want to travel the
world, meeting phenomenal people, doing incredible things. The ever repeating
question that goes through my head is HOW? HOW are you going to do this Anna?
WHAT IF you fail?
It’s taken me time but I think I have found my answer to my
HOW and WHAT IF questions.
From day one, I have been raised with the inspiring thought
that I can do whatever I want. I was told that if I put my mind to it, I could
do it. If I worked hard and pushed for my dreams, I would get there. And this
is how I’m doing it…
We all think differently and we all enjoy different things.
Some of us are naturally gifted in math or science where as others are not. Some
are all rounded but one thing is for sure no one is ever average. I like to
believe that this is what makes the world go round. Not one person reading
this has an exact copy of themselves. Not one person. We are all unique.
Never let anyone tell you that your ambitions are wrong or
too far fetched. Why is that you may ask. Well, think of it like this.
You are climbing a mountain and you aim to get to the top
before sun set however your mountaineering friend complains and tells you that
it would be impossible - saying that 3rd base up the mountain is more realistic.
You grunt and go along with what your peer is saying. Once you reached 3rd
base, the sun hadn't set and you knew that you could go further. Yet, you start
to set up camp as your peer had suggested. That night, you miss the best show
of the Northern Lights, due to the fact that your friend had made you stop.
There was then a loud rumble and you were killed in an avalanche (of metaphorical
doubt brought upon you by your interfering peer). You would have avoided that
situation if you had kept going further up the mountain.
NEVER LET PEOPLE BRING YOU DOWN.
Not letting people get you down will help you go further. Again
think of it like this, (another metaphorical pandemonium is about to be presented).
If you are rock climbing and someone wasn't pulling on the rope but let it
slack, you would plummet - fast. If that person was constantly there tugging at
you/your rope (being the irritating negativity that is ‘stopping you’ from achieving
your best), you will be able to climb the rock face easier. In other words,
embrace it. The negative drag of others vs your own positive mind set will
always make your private jet hard to control. Although, once you get that
controlled you will get that plane flying high. If someone doesn't like you or
what you are doing screw them.
Another way to look at it, is that the person pulling at
you/your rope is there for support. Luckily I’m surrounded by people who do
support me in what I do (I see you reading) and not a day goes by where I don’t
think about how incredible these people are. Someone who is a part of that
community of people is you. Yes you.
The future may look grey for afar and your dreams and
ambitions may be far away as we speak however we are only as young as we are
now (One Direction - Night Changes ayy). Don’t miss a day living in fear of
what others will say. Just do things that make you happy. How amazing will it
feel when you get those exam results you want at the end of school or the
promotion you get after you worked so hard?
If you fail, don’t worry. There is always a round 2 and infinite more
rounds after that. Don’t be defeated by people who don’t know your strength.
Teachers, friends and parents can all get us down on
occasion but who will be laughing when they see you driving your flash new
Bentley (my friend’s motif of life)?
Screw them - stay you
cus you are rad
