💯🔥🔥🔥👊🏽@blakethebilder The majority of people said things like... “you can’t do that” “who do you think you are” “it’s not possible” “you’ll end up just like your father” “I wouldn’t recommend that” “is that safe” “you need to think about your future” “you’re going to grow up and be a failure” “you’re not good enough” . Ever hear anything like this?! . Most of us have.. this isn’t new, but what we do with what people say to us is very important!!! . People saying this are expressing their beliefs about themselves and their insecurities as sincere as it might sound. They’re trying to plant seeds of doubt in your mind . I always used this as fuel to motivate me towards the person I believed myself to be . I said I was moving to California to turn pro and some supported, some laughed, some hoped I would fail . It doesn’t matter what was said or will be said to me from others, but what we say to ourselves is most important . We have to stand by our vision for ourselves backed with self affirmation and a group of people who support and nourish your dream! . A man without vision will always perish and remember not everybody sees the world like you do so they don’t understand completely . Stand true to yourself and you’ll be true to others it all starts within! . I wrote this down years ago and prayed for days like this and now it’s become my reality. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal! . I AM THAT I AM 🙏🏼 .#ourlifecbd #ourlifecbdfightteam #ourlifecbdfamily #cbdrecovery #jiujitsu #mma 📸 P H O T O S : @local__lightskin (at Quarantine 2020) https://www.instagram.com/p/CECxRGrMjsV/?igshid=165qvayk2fg69
