Today’s world abounds with so much negative news that it would begin to look like an organized effort to spread bad news in order to drive people, even entire populations, into a state of apathy and hopelessness. In a 24-hour period, men, women, and children are hit with endless amounts of bad news, and those around them (friends, family, and associates) give worse advice on how to handle bad news. And then these people spread more bad news, even false information and bad news perpetuate more bad news until it reaches epidemic proportions where an entire population of people who “can do it” “can’t”!

People go to great lengths to protect themselves from the flu, car accidents, and sexually transmitted diseases, but nothing to protect themselves from bad news and bad advice! Consider this poem the next time someone claiming to be a friend takes the time to give you bad news and worse advice.

Be DEAF when someone tells you you can’t do it!

Be DEAF when someone tells you it is impossible!

Be DEAF when someone tries to put limits on you!

Because these people who go out of their way to limit you and suggest that you can’t fulfill your dreams are dangerous people. These people have given up on their dreams and are looking to convince you to do the same.

And don’t be fooled by these folks when they suggest they are just trying to help you! Because the help is not what they offer, since what they really want is for you to join the ranks of slaves who simply get by in life.

Be DEAF with all of them!
