It All Starts in the Mind

You know the bulls**t that you have to go through on a daily basis.
Your mom wants you to be a woman. Your dad thinks you`re a worthless piece
of sh** and doesn`t think that you`ll ever amount to anything. Hell, I know
what pain is like. Is it my fault I was born this way or am i going to do
something about it? You could turn to your friend but maybe HE just wants to
turn you into a crackhead, or your other friend that wants to be your
boyfriend, and when you tell him you`re not gay, he decides to throw you
into the streets like he does with all of his other friends. So where do you
turn?
Certainly not your sister! She does not know what pain is like. To the
laptop computers, fancy cars, and attention you can never get. Its funny how
they give you everything when the other one sleeps in an abandoned
apartment. Is that fear in your eyes when that girl scares you? Who was
there to help when you needed it? Was she ever there for me? NO!
Maybe you could turn to your neighbor who you`ve been friends with all
of your life. He`ll tell you that you are a loser and that you will never
amount to anything in life. Some friend huh! It`s funny how one year later
he gets jealous of what you do and wants to destroy every amount of hard
work that you put in. "I don`t see you having the patience to do this." Now
do you see the patience I`ve put in! What are you going to do about it now!
So where do you turn when your world is falling away? You do whatever
it takes to survive because if you don`t, you simply errode to the point of
submission and feel no need to keep going. Fight through the pain like you
have no other option, because in all honesty, you dont! Take one day at a
time. It doesn`t matter if you`re the fat kid getting picked on or a person
dying of cancer. One day worth of improvement gives you the mind set of
getting better which will eventually lead to a happy end result!
If you believe that there is a way out of your problem, you will get
out. Now think of the consequences of giving up. You are disgracing yourself
and will never receive the respect from people that you deserve. I`ve seen
submission with my own eyes from myself and others around me which turned
the atmosphere into that of a funeral. If you`re willing to sacrifice it all
for what you really want in life, you will be successful.
Does pain come with a price? Your damn right! Every day is a new
lesson waiting to learned and you must be willing to take the good with the
bad. You MUST think of everything as beneficial, even if you`re on your
death bed waiting to die. It`s all worth the price in the end and when
people look at your grave at least you will be honored. If you died right
now, how would you want people to think of you? As a person who always got
everything his or her way, or a person who battled through their struggles
head on and overcame each of their problems like it was nothing. You have
the power to defeat anything, it all starts with your mind.
