"All You're Ever Going to Be..."

All you're ever going to be... is something less than what you actually are. No matter how much you try to improve and get in the good graces of others, you keep being downgraded and disrespected. Like you can be only SO good. Being talked about in this context makes you feel you can never be better than what you can be. Basically- why try to improve for someone who believes in you only so much? If you can be the highest elected official of your city or nation, at least be regarded and believed in at this specific level. At least believe in someone to that level to where someone can go above and beyond to be at their absolute best. But, no... some people only have so much faith in someone to where failure is inevitable. So in this case, why bother trying to encourage someone who isn't capable of so much encouragement? It nearly defeats the purpose of helping someone be their absolute best. If all ever someone is going to be is something less than what they are capable of or potentially capable of, knocking someone down to such a low level makes that person feel worthless.

Certain factors always get in the way as to someone being better. For example, someone may regard someone and believe in someone to do something successfully, but that one encouraging person thinks the one he/she is encouraging has a habit of not being able to complete tasks successfully or giving up in crucial moments. Everyone has their deficiencies. Surely I have not been perfect or successful doing things. However, I'd rather have my issues and shortcomings rather than have someone feel only so confident in my abilities. Someone can always push to be better; but if you are going to kick somebody down because they will ultimately fall short, then why try to encourage someone? If a teacher or a professor does not believe his/her students will learn lifelong lessons and make themselves better, then why would such people still give lectures and lessons? Why doesn't the teacher/professor just fail all of his/her students and move on with their lives? Would the coach of a sports team encourage his/her players to fail because that coach only thinks so much of that team and its players? If so, the players would have left a long time ago because they would hate to play to fail.

So where am I getting at here? Simple- everyone can improve to make themselves better. Do not talk about someone like they can only be SO good. When I look at certain people, I think they can be capable of great success. Reaching that great success is different for everyone. You at least need to have enough heart to believe in someone to where they can reach those great levels of success. People being encouraged do not have to be perfect or adept- they just need to perform like they are capable of almost anything. You can't do that when you keep thinking of people ultimately becoming failures. What is the point of encouraging someone when you think of and regard people as failures? So if you are going to encourage someone, help that person to realize what he/she is capable of. Make that person have to seek his/her greatest qualities to accomplish tasks rather than hate them for their flaws. If the goal is success and promise, give people a chance and let them work to become as successful as you think someone can be. If you think someone is ultimately going to fail, either change your expectations or do a better job helping someone become better. The world's problems are not going to solve themselves. You have some sort of influence to help make things better. Why not take advantage and build a relationship that will pay high dividends and make a difference? It's up to you...

These are all depressing thoughts, but it feels so terrible to only be given so much credit and only be given so much of a chance when we can be capable of so much more.
