We are what we do.

Our actions are influenced by our attitude towards life, whether positive or negative. Our actions influenced by our support system, when facing challenges it becomes easier to work through them. Our actions are positive when we have someone who believes in our dreams.

The pressure one gets from home can push one to succeed. It is important to learn the lessons in the mistakes that we make and become better people. People that look down on you can also inspire you to work towards your dreams. Sometimes we have to prove ourselves to family and friends that we will succeed.

The influence around you drives your actions, whether the influence is good or bad. I had to prove that choosing Public Relations over a BCom degree was better for me. I've had to prove studying at a university of technology is just as good as studying in a traditional university. As you live life you constantly have to prove to people who have a negative perception about you."Everyone won't believe in your dream, but once you accomplish it, they'll have no choice but to believe in your reality." - Real Talk

It is not easy working against the flow, but it is all worth it when you're on the other side. Mistakes are an opportunity to grow and learn. You should strive to accomplish your goals regardless of mistakes you have made. In my life, I strive to be a positive influence to those around me. It is easy to break a person down and it is difficult to build their esteem.
