go after my dreams no matter what the odds.

sometimes you think you’ll never make it
and sometimes you are just scared of rejection
or you are scared of what people will think
you are scared of the competition
but everyone is individual and everyone has something to offer
the worst thing is comparing yourself to others and thinking, look at her, i have no chance
or look at him hes so smart, how can i make it?
you have to believe in yourself
otherwise you will never make it

“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way; if you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”

I am finding a way.

Someone once told me I was an all or nothing type of person. She was right. I either do something, or I don’t. How can live with myself if my life results in: “almost, but not quite”?

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”

As soon as I give up on my “move to Baltimore” goal, this happens. I don’t even know if I want to go now, but I have the opportunity. I’m certainly going to think about it.

The ocean stretches itself upon the shore to taste a child’s sandcastle. The wise child realizes that this is only a chance to build again, and the ocean smiles in satisfaction knowing that with every castle it devours, it has made a child dream more.

though i could reach some but there are still some that i am longing to do them. They seem crazy to someone but it’s my dream and i want to do it…

I’m going to do everything I feel I must do. I don’t care who thinks I’m crazy. I don’t care if it seems like there is no possible chance of success. I am going to be happy doing what I want to do with my life. No more teaching in southern Illinois for me.

Watch out, world! wilcopottergirl is coming…
