Have you ever felt like the need to prove yourself? For some reason I've been having a tough time with proving myself or my abilities. In some aspects I've had this idea of proving to overcome the speech impediment I have had for since I was born. When I was younger I was able to pronounce certain sounds like k's, c's, G's for some reason. Later on life I read a book on how to speed read which really didn't give me a great standing with my speech teacher at the time. Later in life, I reverted to being really quiet, and very few words spoken. Then I went into a job and was very quiet and got yelled at for being quiet, so I start to speaking loud but fast. Now I am at a cross road in my life where I want to prove I overcome the speech impediment. I have thought about doing voice overs since I was in puppetry along time ago.. Has anyone every had an experience where they want to prove that they overcome and obstacle in their life?

All the time! Sometimes it's a rather egotistical thing, and sometimes there is a practical purpose. In your case, I think you have practical reasons for wanting to overcome your speech impediment.

I don't know if I would call it proving myself, but we all have overcome obstacles in our lives. For those who were/ are strong enough to overcome them, such as myself, I try to share my story with others who may be going through some of the same things I am/ have.. I myself have nothing to prove, because without God I can accomplish nothing. :) I share my experiences with people in the hope that I may be able to help, bless, and inspire them, NOT to toot my own horn and say "look at what I've done, I'm so special." :)

Yes absolutely, thinking about overcoming daily but that's the easy bit - thinking about it, the reality is somewhat different.

I want to prove myself as worthy and capable of handling the gifts, talents, and whatever else God has entrusted me

I want to prove myself as someone who can stand up for truth and stay pure

I want to prove myself as a loving man who will pursue the girl he loves romantically and in a manner worthy of the Gospel

I want to prove myself as a true believer of Christ

I want to prove that I can do it, not to boast that I can do it, but to show that I can and therefore so can you

I want to prove that even though there are tough circumstances, God can turn it around and that anything is possible, including far-fetched dreams and goals (I want to prove that impossible is nothing).

I want to prove life is not always unfair the way we think it, but that it is what we make it to be

I want to prove that we are freedom is a choice, and we can get along despite our differences

I want to prove that I can make a difference and so can you.
