Friday the 2nd of July 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be Spearheading Right Through. So I was listening to a bit of music this morning and there is some music that I do listen to that when I do start to listen to it, it begins to give me this surge, like this very
serious, this very laser focused and this very determined surge and I'm not sure if I've been able to find the verbiage to actually describe this emotion with an accurate effect. But at the same time, I don't know if there's
a title for it, if there's a title to sort of describe, not necessarily this genre, but it's kind of like this emotion that this kind of type of music puts me into. But without sharing too many intimate details, I feel like I've lived the sort of life that has led me to this point in which I am now extremely determined to push through all of the challenges
that life has to throw at me. I feel like it's almost to a certain degree like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like I remember when I used to sit in a sociology class and one day my sociology teacher was telling me about how like you know there's either two ways that a label can have an impact on somebody. Let's say for
example somebody gets told from a young age that they're lazy, they effectively begin to kind of like buy into the word, they effectively get chipped away by the repetitive kind of like cycle of being called lazy time and time and time again up until which, you know, up until a point in which they now genuinely do believe that they are what they have been called. And then you get people who on the flip side, who when they get told, let's say for example, that they're lazy, they completely reject the notion and therefore
spearhead through all of the doubts, the negativities, the insecurities that effectively kind of like try to argue the case that they are in any way, shape or form lazy. I mean I wouldn't necessarily say that this is something that I have gone through in my life. I haven't been called lazy per se. However, you know, there is a theme of failure to a certain degree that has affected me to such a degree where I now am extremely determined not to necessarily prove everybody around me wrong, but effectively to remind myself that I am not what anybody thinks that I am. I simply am that which I am. And, you
know, like it's, you know, anybody else who kind of like looks in to make an observation or make an assessment about my character or my will, for lack of a better way of putting it, just simply has their own perspective, it's simply their own perspective, it isn't a fact, if that makes sense.
