At some point in life, there may be pressure to be what one is not. The opportunity then is to takea stand for what’s in you even if, especially when Daddy doesn’t like it.
.....The problem with “You should be doing better,” is that we become convinced that we don’t naturally excel or strive, seek or care. We come to believe that without tyrannical exhortation nothing good or excellent would ever happen. It is a lie. We are made to excel, strive, seek and care. If excelling, striving, seeking and caring were punished by death, we would do it anyway . ..John Anderson, Ph.D
