The only thing to do when people dont believe in you, is walk away. I dont mean, walk away from them in your life. Thats an extreme measure. But carry your emotions somewhere else. its ok to be hurt by these people, its ok to be disappointed in them, its even ok to be angry at them. But take that time out, to feel what you have to feel. In the end, their lack of faith, lack of foresight, unwillingness to change, or supposed high standards, is their problem, not yours. Also, it is completely unnecessary to prove anything to anyone. All you need to be and do, is your best. In a business situation, if someone doesnt believe in you, you could consider leaving the job. Why take on the stress when someone already has it in for you? A dog with a bone, will never leave it alone. Ive heard so many stories of situations like these. People who try out of basic integrity, to stay on, get attacked from every subtle and obvious angle... Leaving you so emotionally discouraged, that whether you produce good work or not, it has no power to lift your spirits. To balance it out, Ive heard of people in sinking ships situations, who turn the tides, and keep the boat afloat. But they are seldom rewarded for their efforts. These dogs with their bones...Here are my perhaps, my supposes are roses. Perhaps it is difficult for people who dont have the strength to be wrong, for whatever reasons. Perhaps they have forgotten the sometimes necessary leap of faith. Perhaps they dont believe in nurturing, or training, or communication, and bringing out the best in people. Perhaps they forget that they can still learn, still improve, themselves. Perhaps they cannot see that everyone who is given a chance, might just have something special to offer. Perhaps they only see in black and white and mistakes are permanent marks against a persons ability. Perhaps they are stressed, or in duress, and their actions are just reactions and nothing to do with your ability. Perhaps, they are hyper-sensitive, that everything you say is taken as major criticism, and taken personally. Perhaps you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.... Perhaps life just makes some people really jaded, and they might not know that they are jaded! Anyone can lose hope and forget to dream. Sometimes, all you can see is red tape, a mile long. Sometimes youre so scared that your life becomes full of fixed rules. Anyone can become victims of time, of status, and might believe those are the important things in life.... Im preaching to nobody. Ive got an ego to match Everest, a temper worse than Pinatubo, and cracks and breaks and wounds all over my heart that it is pitted like the surface of the moon. A jack of all trades, and not yet, NOT YET!, a master of one. My own worst critic, trying to be my best personal cheerleader. I am a work in progress, a contradiction, but not a tool, a risk-taker, but sometimes, a fool. and, but, so, Im almost there. [i edited out the smiley, seemed out of place]
