swimming up river against the crowd- negative people surround me

[Annette A.]

Some days i wake up and have to encourage myself in my goal; I must admit i have lost some of the omph' but i am continuing to plug away to accomplish this goal.

(some days every body around is so negative its hard not to let them effect me- but I AM PUSHING FORWARD regardless of those around me. I KNOW a good thing and i AM a visionary. I have faced the fact that I AM not like everybody else around me in their thinking and they dont understand me. So I must find positive connections of others that get it.)

today is one of those days... I wonder why i bother? Its like fighting to swim up river against a school of ??  bumping and pushing... trying to get somewhere different then the way they are trying to pull me. (sigh)

Does anybody else here hear what i am saying? Have yoooooou, do you feel this way at times?
