When you are very young, you have URGES.
And, the more you act in accordance with those, the more you'll hear the word "no".
Many people, not wanting to hear "no", will respond one of two ways:
1. They'll keep acting on their urges until they find a way to get a "yes".
2. They'll find a way to be comfortable without hearing a "no".
The problem with these two approaches is that you're trusting someone else.
It's tempting to stay that way - and likely why so many do.
The problem is that nobody knows everything.
What if you didn't wait for permission?
What if you wrote that book? Ran that race? Climbed that mountain?
What if today is when you began working on that degree?
Give yourself permission to start.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
some additional thoughts:
- Sometimes all you need is to get rid of the reasons not to try
- Assuming you will get a no, or will be stopped, is not enough of a reason to not start
- Note: This is an application of the quote "Good girls don't make history." Go make history.
