Some of us might have been raised rural, might have been raised in near poverty or in a town/community that lacked ambition. You might have been abused, rejected, or simply had no one believe in you for your entire upbringing. In a life where it’s you against the world it is not just bloody tough, it’s mission impossible against the status quo of social consumption in all regards.
So like a beaten dog you may retreat and subscribe to a life of lacking ambition and accepting cowardice, living with the preconceived notion that life is now and ever more against you. A woe is me perspective of self-sacrificial prejudice. Or you can get busy living, get busy loving, get on with life as so few know it.
What you need to remember is that the world is yours. In every sense of the word. Maybe you feel that the world doesn’t accept you just the way you are, and society ignores your brilliance or your profound view on life. The problem is that your are subscribing to life as you know it, in the most mundane of viewpoints. Perhaps you are just too busy believing that society is a prescribed version of life written but your family, school, church or community. In the words of Drew Dudley, “Because we’ve made leadership about changing the world, and there is no world. There’s only six billion understandings of it, and if you change one person’s understanding of it, one person’s understanding of what they’re capable of, one person’s understanding of how much people care about them, one person’s understanding of how powerful an agent for change they can be in this world, you’ve changed the whole thing.”
If life is a play, as Shakespeare so often suggested, then stop being so hesitant to be the main character in your version if it. When it comes to the opening scene, the climax or the entire story and it is time for the pivotal character to enter, *Enter yourself*. Step up, perform and be undoubted in your brilliance.
Life is the version 1.U.
