I found this to be a very powerful form of motivation. For whatever reason it seems that I can dig deeper within myself to push through when I have the thought in mind of proving the people wrong whom communicated directly or indirectly that I was not of equal value. When I first came up with this idea I noticed negative thoughts kept sprouting in my mind. I was amazed at how I far back I could remember all the things that honestly hurt me. I found myself getting angry because I would relive those moments of betrayal. This negatively affected my work. I would push myself too hard and get burnt out. I later found that by getting angry about how people treated me in the past I was only convicing myself futher that they were right. If I truly believe that I am of equally value to anyone then there is nothing to be mad about. If I truly believe that I am of equal value to anyone than the people who treated me in a way that says otherwise are just wrong. And I can showed that that they are wrong every single day. In the smallest of things that I do and in the largest of things that I do. It’s not about holding a vendetta at all. It’s about carrying out a simple truth. That truth is that I’m just as good as anybody. That truth is that human beings are remarkable creatures. Everybody has gifts inside them just waiting to be utilized. It takes mental strength to carry this out. It’s more easier to think negative. It’s more easier to put somebody down. But with practice the one can get good at extracting the positive. I found now that the negative experiences that I have are now opportunities to pull positive motivation from. I see them now as an incentive to dig deeper in myself because by doing that I’m reaffirming to myself and to reality that I am just as good as anyone.
