“Two powerful,
little words I've learned to use when facing challenges, fears, and doubts—so
what?”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

Everyone
experiences moments in life where you get so hurt, that you officially don’t
care anymore. Of course, whenever someone brings up the topic again, it acts
like salt on a wound, but your discussion ends with the reaction SO WHAT? To live a creative life we must
first lose the fear of being wrong.
They said I couldn’t. They
said wouldn’t. They said they didn’t believe in me. They said I couldn’t
because of my circumstances, I couldn’t because of my past. Just because it hadn’t
been done before. I said: SO WHAT?
You can complain and remain
the same or you can DECIDE, COMMIT and work towards becoming someone that NO
ONE thought you could be. You can make all the excuses in the world. We’ve
heard them all. But those that get on in life leave the excuses and look for
the POSSIBILITIES you might have had it tough. You might have had it really tough.
But it isn’t getting any better if you
LIVE there. You have to drop the little story and work towards your
MASTERPIECE. You see it so often: stories of those with almost identical,
painful life circumstances. One chose to live in the pain forever. Repeating the
reasons why they can’t succeed why they can’t move on. The other: use the pain
as their REASON WHY they MUST CHANGE. They use their pain as a strength. They use
the people who don’t believe in them as MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED. Not a reason why
they can’t. When things don’t go their way then don’t say “WHY ME?” say SO
WHAT?
Say: TRY ME. when
things don’t go their way THEY KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
Your family isn’t perfect:
SO WHAT?
You failed in your
past: SO WHAT?
You didn’t get the good
JOB: SO WHAT?
You don’t know where to
start: SO WHAT?
Someone did wrong by
you: SO WHAT?
You had a breakup: SO
WHAT?
You don’t know what to
do: SO WHAT?
No one understands you:
SO WHAT?
You feel alone: SO WHAT?
You are not satisfied:
SO WHAT?
Most people seem to
think that life is against them somehow. Very few understand life is CHALLENGING
that Is all. I accept life’s challenge. Plan to work on myself so I can win.
NOT JUST ONE DAY, BUT EVERY DAY. SO WHAT they don’t believe in you. You don’t need
them to believe in you. They’re not doing the work you are. They are not
growing and learning YOU ARE, they not committed to YOUR DREAM. They are not in
love with YOUR VISION: YOU ARE. they don’t define your success YOU DO. Nobody gets
a perfect life. Every one of us faces different challenges that is LIFE. you
choose to be the VICTIM or VICTOR.
Life is better when you stop
caring too much.
Once you do this, you
will understand what you have been missing for so long. Honestly, Living life
without tensions seems nothing less than paradise. Be a real person with a unique attitude. Even if someone doesn’t like
your attitude, don’t apologize for it. You are doing what you think is right,
and there is no point in apologizing. Make decisions with your mind, not your
heart. The heart is too sensitive and emotional, decisions made with your heart
is sure to give you sharp pains. The earlier you understand this, the
happier you would be. The more you care about the things in your life, the more
you will screw up.
In any
moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best
thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. You can't please everyone. Similarly, you can't shut up everyone. No matter how good you are doing or through what circumstances you are going, there will always be a group of people who will hate your moves. SO WHAT?
"Take a step back. Drawn in a deep breath. Now ask yourself 'SO WHAT?' Then, after answering, ask yourself again 'SO WHAT?' And then third time- 'SO WHAT?' Chances are you'll come to realize that the issue at hand is not as dire, detrimental, or important as you first thought."
Maybe I am not right, SO WHAT YAR?..... That doesn't mean I am wrong.
