Never back down



Alrighty, this is Jacob again, because Ben's been busy with somethings. As the title suggests, this is a purely motivating blog post, because I believe everyone needs a little pick me up every now and again. The picture above is one that pushes me specifically, just one I found and I don't own it at all.

Lately has been an extremely trying time for my family, Ben and me. It's been wearing on every last part of our characters and souls, yet I've known for a fact that we're going to outlast all of the trials. I almost relish them, because things come out a lot better in the end and almost seem tripled to how much trouble we've gone through.

I just recently lost my car, as well as a list of other things that would make your head spin, but you won't see a frown on my face. Bravery Technologies & Innovations is just waiting for a contract to be signed for a customer that will bring in at least tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands. We've been working with the customer for a while and this customer deserves it. This contract isn't ours, but the customer's to other major companies. The CEO has never given up and is a bottomless pit of sheer power, and someone we at B.T.I. look up to and respect.

If there's anything I've learned from that man it is to be an unstoppable force of awesome power. The only thing that makes this world better is to plow through all obstacles like they're paper walls. It proves to other people that see the feat that they too can do it, and follow in suit, chasing their own dreams. There's no purpose to the person who sits in the doldrums and isn't aggressive in their chase of a dream. No one sees results from that, they only see the lack thereof. Every person needs a purpose, even famous psychologist Abraham Maslow says that, right up at the top of this pyramid.



Without a purpose, nothing is created and everything is wasted. Creativity is in every single person, and that's where the problem lies. "Everyone has it, so why am I special?" Well, you aren't special. It's your ideas, your past, your story and your future that's one of a kind. The definition of special is: "Better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual." It's the thought that "I'm special!" that's killing the creative process of other people. The people who think that they have the privilege of bragging and boasting with an ego the size of a skyscraper are the ones that make everyone else limited. They are the ones who actively try to make others miniscule to them in comparison and also, inadvertently or not, kill their creativity and their drive.

That's why I say never back down, it's not worth it! You have to keep pushing forward, no matter what! Never let a finger be pointed in your face, telling you you can't do it! Dreams aren't reality, yes, but that's where work and determination come into the equation! You can't stop other people, they let you stop them and vice-versa! No one can stop a force that's barreling through everything in it's path! They'll either move, or be ran over. Think of yourself as a Ferrari and everyone else as a distraction. Sure you can stop and waste your time or even your whole life on one distraction. IS IT WORTH IT?  NEVER! There comes a point in everyone's life when they either realize this or dilute themselves with negative answers and self-affirmations. Ben and I have realized this, and even though we've lost a lot due to external circumstances, we'll never back down.
