I did the same post two days in a row, without realizing it. As I read the post it has spoken so loudly to me because, the persons that usually tell me I can't do something has always been those closest to me. My mother was known for shooting down anything you wished to accomplish, especially if it was going to effect her in some way. My previous husbands would laugh at me when I would talk of college, yet at 33 I went to college for 4 years staying on the Dean's list most of the time. My current husband worries about me to a degree that I seldom do anything without him. Yet I have found I enjoy myself more when I pursue some activities more when alone. Poetry Reads are especially difficult with my husband, since he is usually in a hurry to leave.
So I read this post and realize how much I allow other's perceptions to dictate what I accomplish and what I don't even try. It will be a challenge to change, yet very satisfying and rewarding to prove them wrong.
