She thinks HER reality is ALL of reality. I won't let her reality become MY reality. So help me God.
Man you are being picky. That will not benefit you at this moment. I have been in your place, and was trying to find a way to get what I wanted without having to do some hard work, hoping that it will just resolve itself. But it didn’t. I had to get of my ass and figure shit our myself. That’s the path to getting what you want, not having something fall down into your lap that is just “perfect”, you make your life as you want it as you go along, but you need to go along so to speak. You need movement. You need hustling. You need to grow stronger and take on challenges every day. Even those that you don’t like. Stand out with a job that you don’t like until you find a reason to like it or to affect it in a way that it becomes enjoyable. Sometimes life need to suck a bit for it to become better. There is some pleasure inside going through some pain, because it make you stronger and make you learn what matters. So don’t use subliminals as an excuse to keep sitting on your ass and not trying because “some day it will override the resistance and life will be just wonderful and all joy”. That’s not going to happen. It will make you better, help you overcome emotional stuff that can hold you down, but how many subliminals and how strong technology, life will need from you to move forward. You are the captain of your life. Take back responsibility for it by getting your hands dirty and not being discouraged while moving forward. Keep hustling, I promise you you will find joy from it in the long run.
Your mother is most likely trying to show you an example of when she went through hardships to help you get the idea how to get moving, not to manipulate her beliefs into you.
