Has this Happened to You? Ever Been the First Person to Say You Can't Do A Thing? Read Tobi's Story "Too many times, I told myself I would either break a pitcher, a bucket or a glass; whenever I held them. A good thought helped to fight myself for a few seconds, and I lost it again. The next thing I would hear was a dash on the ground, and the China fragments against the floor. The following sound would be a dazzling slap, and that would be my mother; “I said it!”: she would confirm how sure she was I could not successfully hold a plate, or whatever it was that I was too weak to manage in her mind. I grew the weakling mind too, and I practically told myself I would fail in a thing before I tried. It only took a dare or a push to try – either by some, who believed in me or dearly loved me; to really realise I could not really do well in a thing. So, when it happens again, they have very kind reactions like a clap for me, sighs with kind faces or pity, but all that I could chew down my throat is; “I said it!” Something stays with you than whatever anyone says or tells you. See what Shad has to say to you! #PossitiveThinking. #RightMindset
