Since I had multiple disabilities (stroke and mild autism) and considered to have no future by many, I proved a lot of skeptics wrong. I am going to focus on myself, my employment, my family, my friends, and all the things I enjoy doing. College may not have worked out the way that I hoped, but I will always find something that I could do and have fun with. Just because I'm the only Lundgren child without a college diploma, doesn't mean that I'm a loser! If anything, I learn more in the real world than I do in school (especially pre-Algebra since I suck at math). When college stopped being fun for me, it was painful so I dropped out. I never regretted about quitting to be honest since I want to do more things and meet people despite my setbacks. I only had two girlfriends in life (both of whom also had disabilities) and dated a few women (most if them are considered normal while some are disabled). Even though I'm considered disabled, I'm more physically attracted to regular women (mainly natrual brunettes and multi-racial ones) and the ones with mild Autism like myself. What I'm trying to say is, when people say you can't do things, it's because they themselves couldn't achieve their own goals so they have to doubt other people's goals to make themselves feel superior to the so called "dreamers". I'm going to do what I want, need, can, and will to achieve what I want to accomplish such as having a girlfriend that lasts more than a year, Cosplay, work, webshows, and (if I can get a REAL job) have my own place for the very first time! I'm NOT going to let negative attitudes from cynics ruin my goals. I've been shutting them up in the past and there's no way I am going to give in ANYTIME soon! NOT NOW, NOT EVER!! !! !

The most essential thing for your success is your will power to succeed. So if you are feeling that way, I'm sure you will succeed. It's good that you recognize other people's negative opinions are just their perspectives. If you allow yourself to believe what they say, then you will be influenced by that and that can prevent your success. So I'm glad that you are not affected by the cynics.

"Believe in yourself, for no one else will."

A quote I heard once. I'm glad you believe in yourself. :)

The most important lesson I've ever absorbed, was that I'm the only thing standing in the way of my goals and dreams, and that if I get out of my own way, nothing aside from an untimely death can stop me from reaching them.
