Is there any hobby which you started just to impress someone?

Everything I do was started wanting to impress someone ,,or make a liar out of them
I was not the kid to tell "you will never amount to anything "
I made them eat those words many times over ,and I even made a good living at my hobbies.
Also loved the jobs and careers I have had

They loved seeing me fall ,because when I mess up ,,,I usually do it in a big way ,,
But unlike most of them ,messing up and starting over is no big deal to me
Now I am the start over king too LOL now I know how to do it faster
I learned a lesson most of them never will ,
most of the time the successful do mess up a few times ,,they just refuse to quit
It was not a failure ,just part of the learning curve
Now I also hire promoters and managers ,,and I do the part i'm good at
Its pretty cool when you can employ people to help you do things you love doing for free
But now days I only want to impress my family ,as long as they think I am superman I am always a winner
the people who hurt me and put me down ,,,,now all of them have passed away
I forgave them ,,maybe they pushed me to be all I could be ,
maybe I should have said ,,,"Thank you "

I didn't post this to brag ,its for those who say "You don't know what I have been through " ,,you don't know my story but
We have 2 options ,,be a victim
Or an overcomer ,the choice is always ours

Just *****
