The W.I.L.L. to Succeed! · 7:13am Apr 15th, 2015
To be good at anything in life, it takes hard work and determination. Some people might lose their passion as they age, as they fail to get the recognition they believe themselves worthy of. But it isn't until you shake off that baggage and truly look deep inside and look towards where you wanna be, and really ask those hard questions that need to be asked. To really apply yourself enough to that dream so as to continue improving yourself a little bit at a time, each and every day, will you ever truly be able to inch yourself towards that victory.
That goal. No matter how frivolous it seems now, that dream can still very much happen.
Everyone will tell you, you can't do this or you can't do that. It's 'unrealistic' they'll say. Well, to hay with them!
There are people who are literally born better than you. There will always be a person better than you. But that shouldn't matter. Because while they might make things look easy and put you down or make you doubt your own ability to rise close to their level, you CAN and WILL. It just takes hard work and passion.
As long as you APPLY yourself. ESPECIALLY during the times YOU want to stop. When YOU think you've done enough for one day. When YOU feel like quitting. THAT is the TIME TO RISE BEYOND YOUR LIMITS!
Whether you're a writer. An artist. Or into sports. Whatever your passion, whatever you want to get good at. Know that if you want to make it a career, you'll have to do stuff that isn't fun. You'll have to deal with not getting fast enough results to your liking. If you aren't born with it, you'll just have to claw your way up that muddy wall and claw your way to the top like everyone else.
There are no free rides to success. Even those few who look like they have it all, probably feel empty inside. For Diamond Tiara? She never gives up. She strives to be the best. And you should too!
From having her cutie mark seem less important than that of a blank flank's 'potential' cutie mark. To Editor in Chief of a no-name school paper, applying ponies' natural abilities and personalities to roles she sought fit to bring the paper to a level of fame only she could dream up for a school news paper.
From being mocked on how unskilled and needing of Apple Bloom's professional help with a hoola-hoop. To being said as one of the best gymnast/acrobatic pony in the school, right besides Silver Spoon who both nearly went on to winning the Flag Competition for Ponyville.
The only limits in life are the ones you put for yourself or the lies from others over the years who try and tell you to give up on 'fantasies'.
Well, here's the lowdown. Life can be a FANTASY or a NIGHTMARE. Diamond Tiara never settled for anything short of the very best, so you shouldn't either!
We all have to make sacrifices. It's literally in your hands. There are worlds of guides and helping hands out there, especial given the age we live in now. There is virtually nothing you can't do unless you keep putting things off. The longer you go by without really applying yourself, the further behind you get.
Don't let material obsessions. Bad relationship(s). Any person who tries to talk you down that looks like they know what they're talking about, like a teacher or counselor or other 'professionals'. Your family members. Or anything stop you from pursuing the person YOU want to be!
Push yourself. Go the distance. Try and beat the you of yesterday. Set new records. There is living proof of people no different than you whose dreams are coming or came true. To live a life doing what they love doing.
YOU. CAN. ACHIEVE. GREATNESS!
<This is where I would put more Silver Spoon doing awesome stuff,
BUT NO ONE HAS DRAWN HER DOING ANY!>
I keep coming back to this blog and wondering if I'm doing enough in general. It reminds me of Johnny Bunko in that regard.
The Silver Spoon image problem sounds like something someone should fix, at least.
