Despite The Odds

Why do we like the underdog?  Is it because there is some part of us that identifies with someone going from nothing who has all the odds against him/her and then that person defying the impossibilities of what is against them?

Why do we identify with this?  I believe it’s because we are all meant to defy the odds, we are all meant to overcome impossibilities.

While this is an underlying feeling within us, we have fears and insecurities that keep us from even trying.  What’s worse is we have people projecting their fear onto us, saying that we can’t, when really what they are saying is, “I can’t and therefore I don’t want you to either.”

If you want to defy the odds, you have to get away from the negative voices and start building yourself up with the positive possibilities.  You can do it and you were made for this. So get out there and do it.
